What power supply should i pick ?

[hyrixlele]

Hey I live in algeria do I don't have many choices like evgaor corsair ...
I have to chose between these :
Cooler master MWE 650W BRONZE V2
FSP HYPER M85+ 550W BRONZE
FSP HYDRO PRO 600w bronze
thermaltake litepower 650w white
thermaltake smart rgb 500w white
what do you think

 

[Caring1]

Look up some reviews on them.
I've had a couple of FSP and think they are pretty reliable, the Thermaltake Smart is meant to be alright too.

FSP actually designs and builds power supplies. Cooler Master and ThermalTake put their brand on PSUs built by multiple companies. They could be good or just okay. If you buy a SeaSonic PSU, you know that it's going to be excellent. If you buy a Bestec PSU, it's probably going to end poorly.

there is no SeaSonic in algeria :// what do you think about the fsp hyper m85+ and cooler master mwe bronze v2?

I saw some reviews about the fsp hyper m85+ and it seems fine but they say it's known of coil whine ://

Seasonic Prime GX or TX if you can afford it.

Cooler master MWE 650W BRONZE V2

That's the best one, from that list. Only one with LLC resonant, SR and DC-DC also. But what are your PC specifications?

No they clearly aren't as they all use group regulation, which isn't something you wanna use in a modern PC.

Cooler Master actually has a engineer and they are working on their own PSU. They also make changes to current designs from different manufacturers. They don't just put a lable on it.

About Seasonic and Bestec, they both sell high-end to low-end stuff. But Bestec is actually a higher tier manufacturer as Seasonic. Bestec is one of the better ones with like 10 others. Seasonic isn't one of them.

Seasonic Prime GX or TX if you can afford it.

Those are overpriced. You can get better power supplies for less. And clearly a lot more expensive then his current options.

I like the EVGA PSU's, but they seem to have gotten very expensive.

https://www.jonnyguru.com/ has the best PSU reviews

Aris (TPU, TomsHardware, just a couple at KitGuru and some years ago at The lab.gr) actually has the most thorough reviews.

No reviews anymore at jonnyGuru.com, but the forum is still alive.

Every Bestec power supply that I have ever owned has ended up a smoking heap (one even started out that way). Youre going to have to bring some serious data if you want anyone to believe that they make better PSUs than SeaSonic does.

You probably only have seen the crappy ones then.

But you can ask people who been to all the factories, they can give you all the data you need. Or just look at jonnyguru.com, multiple people sharing info like that.

Whole industry and demand driven prices are wrong "insert favorite manufacturer here makes the best PSU, just take my word for it"

I'm not sure what you mean here.

If you actually think that Seasonic is a big high-end PSU manufacturer, you have done zero research.

I've got the idea that you actually think that I'm wrong in these messages, but I'm really not. This is information you can actually easily Google. But there is a lot of BS on the internet so please don't take that to seriously...

 

[dgianstefani]

They're "overpriced" because they're the best, and every independent test confirms this. Take your wisdom elsewhere where people might be more gullible.

Who is the best?

Are you looking for the highest tier OEM's? You can look at: AcBel, Besteq, Chicony, Delta, FSP, Flextronics, GreatWall, Huntkey, Murata Lite-on, Murata, Zippy. Information like that is easy to find on the internet: http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/sho...-TX850-80-Plus-Bronze-Certified-Power-Supply/ for example.

Just because you are fan of one brand doesn't make that brand better. You also shouldn't spread your bad information to others, because they might actually believe you and make bad decisions because of that. It's also really said that that you do stuff like that and even accuse others of doing that. Even if the facts are clear to everyone with a bit of PSU knowledge or care to Google.

The fsp hyper m85+ is dc to dc one btw
So u think I should get the cm mwe bronze v2 ? bcz I saw some reports about the mwe gold one that it has coil whine a lot even when pc is off sometimes so can the bronze one behave like that too ?
because of that I thought I should go with the fsp hyper m85+
But I would be happy if you can give me an advice !

Seasonic Prime GX or TX if you can afford it.

there is no SeaSonic in my country ( what do you think about the fsp hyper m85 +

True, but the primary and the overal quality is a lot worse.

So u think I should get the cm mwe bronze v2 ?

From those certainly. But what are your PC specs?

MWE Bronze V2 is a bit better then MWE Gold quality wise. But they are totally different, MWE Bronze V2 is build by Gospell and MWE Gold is from XHY. Two different PSU's from two different manufactureres.

Ryzen 5 2600X
msi gtx 1660 Gaming X
asus b450m-k prime

but the reports I saw were about the mwe gold ( the one with the purple and grey box I mean the V2 version and it's the same box as the bronze V2 one )

MWE Bronze V2 is a good choice for a PC like that. If the 550W or 450W is available for less go for them. As your PC only consumes around 225 watt under load.

but the reports I saw were about the mwe gold ( the one with the purple and grey box I mean the V2 version and it's the same box as the bronze V2 one )

A box is nothing more then a piece of paper. You also have manufacturers that make those paper boxes. Actually for everything there is a different manufacturer. So when you get your power supply at home, thousands of different manufacturers have worked on it.

For what its worth I do have the MWE Gold 650W since early 2019.
It does have a slight coil whine as long as there is power draw, even if its just a single status led on my mobo so I have to completely power off my system every night when I go to sleep. 'can't hear it while the PC is on cause its not loud enough'

Tho when I checked on YT for this 'issue' there are coil whining PSUs from pretty much every brand, even some of the expensive/fancy ones so I would like to think of this as a luck of the draw.
For example I have a really budget/crappy Thermaltake PSU that was in my previous system and it has zero coil whine.

You can always send it for RMA if you don't like it.

Yes there isn't a single brand out there without a chance of coil whine. The chance is actually also lower with crappier power supplies. More efficient power supplies have a higher chance.

Are you sure the FSP HYPER M85+ is a group regulated ??

Yea I was considering it when it was still new, sending it back to the retailer I bought it from. '~50 kilometers from where I live'

Ended up ditching the idea cause it just too much of a bother and I'm fairly positive that they would just send me back the same unit saying that its nothing/can't hear it. 'it doesn't really count as faulty/warranty worthy unless its really loud/bad

At least the fan in it is dead silent, the loud fan was driving me crazy with my old PSU when it was under load.

Learned to live with it by now anyway, bought a standard power strip with on/off button and I just turn the whole system off at night. 'sorry for the derail, just saw this PSU mentioned here with the same issue and thought I would share my own experience with it'

You already said it had DC-DC, so no it doesn't have group regulation, but DC-DC instead. But like I said the primary and overal quality is worse. The Hyper M85+ is similar to Hexa 85+. It's the cheapest stuff I would recommend. But why choose the cheapest stuff you can find if you have a much better option with the MWE Bronze V2 series from Cooler Master.
