It's good (a bit noisy), but why would you want to get it? What are you planning on powering?

plan run cpu on turbo and extra volgate. ~4.2ghz ryzen 5 2600x. + why not? dont need change in future when need more power with new gpu or something

Assuming you get a 1080 Ti and an HEDT platform and overclock all of it, you're fine on a 650W PSU. On a mainstream platform, you're fine with a 550W. With a 1080 and a Ryzen 7, you're fine on a 450W. Just get a 450-550W PSU instead of wasting money.

I've said what wattages are fine. Are you expecting to upgrade to an HEDT platform and to get a high power draw GPU? If you want to be safe for the future, 550W is plenty. 

There are other PSUs available than the TXM. Check out the Straight Power 11, Whisper M and Focus. The Straight Power 11 and Whisper M are higher end, the Focus is an alternative  if it's cheaper.

That's why I'm recommending good PSUs. Getting a higher wattage PSU just increases the damage it can cause, which might be the opposite of what you want.

Well its corsair, should be good one? 650w runs a lot hdd, chargint phone ,mic, 2x minotors, mouse, wifi adapter speakers 4.1+ ghz pcu (ryzen 5 2600x) and 16gb rams need some power and leave some power leave space to upgrade in future and dont change  psu.?

The fact that it's got a sticker saying "Corsair" on the side doesn't make it good. The fact that it's a good PSU makes it good. Doesn't mean it can't fail. 

All of the mentioned devices draw negligible amounts of power, the monitor and speakers don't even draw power from the PSU. 

I've told you the wattages required by a 1080 Ti om an HEDT platform, all overclocked. Why do you think you'll draw anywhere near that amount?

well even 250w can fail, there is nothing perfect. there is "IF". but currently using tancens 800w so u know.. its a silver but "tancens" as i know dont have  great reputation..

I realize your English isn't perfect, but he's basically saying everything you believe, just with more facts to back it up. Not everything from Corsair is a great unit.

 

You can get other options that aren't the Corsair TXM, such as the Bitfenix Whisper, the EVGA G2, Seasonic Focus Plus Gold, heck, there are be Quiet units you could get too. You don't have to get a Corsair unit if you want a decent unit, and shopping for a PSU based on brand is a poor decision.

Your USB port to charge your phone uses 5W at the very maximum because that's how much USB 3.0 supports. Your two monitors draw power from the wall, not your PC. The load it adds to your GPU is negligible. The max potential power draw of your GPU is the concern. The mouse uses 5W or less, wifi adapter if USB draws 5W or less and if PCIe draws about 5W, your speakers don't draw power from your PC, your CPU isn't guaranteed to hit 4.1 GHz with any amount of voltage, and DDR4 RAM draws negligible amounts of power.

 

So with that out of the way, a 1080 Ti and Ryzen 2700X system with tons of overclocking would draw around 450W. You'd be fine on a 550W unit.

People tend to say this a lot, but without context.  A lot of times, the PSU people buy instead when told the TX is "a bit noisy" is actually noisier than the TX!  :D

 

If you look at the Cybenetics testing, it's not really that loud of a PSU.  I have admitted it can be quieter (design issue), but it's not an unusually loud PSU.

No, because you can get a better PSU that is quieter for the same amount of money.

And if you really need 750 or 850W, you have the money for a good quality Platinum one anyway.

 

For example:
Bitfenix Formula or rather Whisper M

be quiet Straight Power 11

Cougar GX-F

 

All in 550W, especially for the Straight Power 11, the 650W Version is just bullshit. But that's true in 9/10 cases anyway...

each manufacturer has different quality itiems.

So just because there is a certain label on it doesn't mean its good...

Yes and?
That all sounds like a good quality 550W PSU shoul be more than enough for you.

 

You don't need to go for 650W.


And what is "a lot HDD"??

 

With modern Components, I'd rather make a seperate file server anyway, due to transients of the graphics card...

USB 3.0, phone charging, etc... is +5V, not from the main +12V rail.

Phone charging, using ALL the USB ports you have, using all the HDD ports your motherboard can support will be like.... 50W? 75W?

 

The main power usage will be from:

  • CPU
  • GPU(s)
  • Motherboard -- I've read in the past, it can be up to ~100W 

 

EVEN with a overclocked water-cooled i7-7900X, and one overclocked water-cooled GTX 1080Ti, you are not going to break the 550W limit.

Using a Ryzen R5-2600X, you'll be fine with a quality 500W ~ 550W PSU.

 

IMO instead of a 850W 80 PLUS Gold, I'd get a quality 550W ~ 650W 80 PLUS Platinum instead with the money.

In the old days of nForce and X58 that may have been possible.

But look at components that use around 100W like ATi Radeon x1800XT, nVidia 7800GTX and 7900GTX.

That is some serious heatsinking.

 

So that only leaves the VRMs as something that really consumes power, here you can assume an efficiency of 80-95%

And even with 150W CPU -> 80% Efficiency equals around 37,5W Loss for the VRMs...

Modern Chipsets are 10W or less.

That only leaves stuff like RAID Controller or 10G Ethernet...
