That's beside the point, it was more about needing PSUs rated for 750-850W loads ~ which I'm pretty sure less than 50% users on TPU actually have the need for, probably only 20-25% out (or less) in the real world.
Yes noted.
Actually it's pretty wise to choose a "
overprovisioned" PSU with around 1/3 more watts that you actually need. That way you do not run into OPP limits, reduce stress on the PSU components, less fan noise & you get better power efficency. Plus, like many do not know, the PSU will
degrade over time of use, resulting in less and less power you will get out of your PSU, which can/will result in stability problems & in the worst case damaged PC components.
Gigabytes response is nothing more as
PR bullsh*t. They cheaped out on the hardware & their fix for it is a "software update", lmao! But what I find the most upsetting is the the side note discovery from the "Gamers Nexus" video. Different componments in every of their PSU's. It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get. Makes basically every review of their PSU's null & void.
Back in the days I bought a
Enermax PSU for my new rig, put everything together, but the PC wouldn't start. Tried it again on the wall socket in a different room where it triggered the main house fuse. Switched it back on & tried again to fire my rig up, resulting in a loud bang & sparks flying out from the back of the PSU. Luckly no components damaged. Sent it back for replacement/repair (took 6 weeks), bought in the meanwhile a replacement from
BeQuiet (which is now more than 10 years old still runs flawless in my retired rig). The Enermax on the other hand (which I put on a shelf in the attic) was, as a relative needed one years later, still dead. Since then Enermax & the retailer is on my personal blacklist.
Never cheap out on the PSU, it's the backbone of your PC & can make or break your rig. I would personally only buy PSU's from brands who make their main money with PSU's, who know their business & have a name to loose.
BeQuiet is it,
Seasonic is also a solid choice. Corsair is out of the game, since they jumped on the manufactured
Single Rail hype train, which is only of interrest for extreme overclockers. For normal users it's nothing more than a fire hazard. Btw. here's a little Single Rail experiment:
