Which is Better? PSU

[GameRigz]

Aerocool Strike-X 500w PSU 80Plus Bronze VS Corsair VS550 Power Supply.

 

I research every day just to Make sure that i can pick a budget PSU that is efficient and quite. Help Please.

I would personally take the Corsair PSU, but you can check the PSU Tier list for a better answer: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/

Don't buy PSUs based on budget, buy them based on quality.

 

are those your only options? if so VS550 but you may be able to do better

Thanks again bro. Actually they were same price i was just curious of the 80plus bronze of aerocool. But still to choose safe better go  VS550. And bro you see earlier my build you think VS450 will be enough for that? my case only have 2 fans 120mm just normal fans no fancy leds. And also i will be OC the ryzen 3 1200 to 3.7 with stock voltage.

your CPU+GPU is under 500W easily, but are there any other PSU options? Like say from Seasonic?

as I said before though, you might want to wait for the Ryzen APUs coming soonish, with the money saved you could probably get a 1080p 144hz display, nice to have for esports. It's going to be $169 USD for basically an R5 1400 + RX 550 tier GPU looks like

Here's some info on the APUs, Feb 12th is the date in the video

The VS550, but the VS line is Corsair's worst and is pushing garbage-tier. If you can get your hands on a grey-label CX or CXM instead, go for that.

Yes bro there are other like: Thermaltake TR2 500W Power Supply , Seasonic S12II 520W 80PLUS Bronze, DeepCool DA600W 80Plus Bronze 600W (DP-BZ-DA600N), Cougar VTX500 80+ Bronze 500watts PSU, Corsair VS550 Power Supply, Aerocool Strike-X 500w PSU 80Plus Bronze. They were all fit to my budget.

Although you can generally assume a PSU from china built with hot glue for $12 is going to catch fire.

Also what's your MMR/rank icon?

No, its shit.

 

Fan speed goes to 2000rpm under higher load, protection isn't there and the review is from 2010.

There is a thread in this forum about this ancient shit:

 

Why do you say it is still good, when it is not?!

I wouldn't buy it for systems with anything more than 3rd gen.

So it's worse than the corsair unit with likely low quality caps?

In some areas, but I would still highly recommend something like the CX450.
