So I'm on a PSU calculator and its telling me I need 450w but now it's giving a recommendation for a master watt 700w

I'm confused. HELP IMG_20180525_234546.png.1626e674dbb825ec9bab8ac6812ccd79.png

It gives a suggestion based on price and availability, just look for your own PSU.

Yeah that doesn't seem likely. It could be simply the cheapest available option that delivers more than 443 watts? Idk, that doesn't really make sense either.

 

Btw the Lite versions (at least the 600w variant that I have and I'm trying to seel) is noisy AF. The regular Masterwatt series are good IF you find them for a very good price.

Main rig: i7 8086K // EVGA Z370 Micro // 16GB Gskill TridentZ 3200Mhz CL14 // Sapphire Pulse RX 7800XT// a variety of noctua cooling // Corsair RM750x v2 //  Fractal Meshify C

Secondary rig: R5 3600 // MSI B450i Gaming Plus // 16GB Gskill FlareX 3200CL14 // MSI GTX 1080ti Gaming X // Cooler Master V650 // Fractal Meshify C

Audio setup: Audient iD4 // Adam A7X // Sennheiser HD 650 // Sennheiser HD 25-II // Audio Technica M50x // Sennheiser Momentum 4

That's the mistake.

YOu need a brain, maybe a piece of paper and 2min google to get better results.

Those Calculators grossly overestimate the Consumption of Drives and other Components...

I'm confused. HELP 

Its not a Master Watt!

Its a Master Watt LITE

Master Watt is the Brand for PSU that Cooler Master uses. THe Lite is the Series.

 

And you want a better one like a 400W be quiet Pure Power 10 or Straight Power 10, 450W Straight 11 or Bitfenix Formula or Whisper M.

The fact it's a non-modular PSU gives us another reason to ignore the suggestion.

Modular adds another failure point to the system.

And cost as well...

Scroll a bit down.

Meh

 

Modular PSUs have been around for a long time. If it was that big of an issue, we'd be seeing a lot more users posting about it.
