Except he's totally wrong that the reason why you want high efficiency power supply is electricity cost. The reason why you want efficient power supply is because of reduced heat. Platinum power supply is good for extremely extremely high power system.
i also heard that apparently if it sits long without being shaken from time, some "stuff" sinks to the bottom of the can and can damage the components? dont know never even seen one where i live
I feel that when i watch this video is like those tv shows from the 90's where you really learn something and tries to see the good side on everything.
yeah, i think its because most people are only interested in Titan / 1080ti benchmarks, gaming at 165fps on 1440p and 1200w psu's?! if i watch 1 or 2 1080 ti vids thats enough for me - i'll never afford that card so i need me a #deal
because most the time views for these kinds of pages are usually one timers. Kinda like when I look for phone reviews, I watch the reviews but never sub to the page because I just want the reviews. You'll get the views but it'll take a while to get the subs for that reason
I learned more from this 13 minute video than i did from watching hours worth of videos trying to learn the exact same things and being still confused in the end. After this, i don't have any questions. It was elaborate and everything you could possibly need to know on the topic. Liked and Subscribed.
A good argument for an upper tier power supply could also be fan noise.... a high end PSU, that is more efficient tends to also have better fans that are quieter.... there are people who value that as well... but as always.. great video. As a general focus comment, I am happy there is someone dedicated to actually talk about and recommend the "sweet spot" or "bang for buck" products.... Everybody else seems to focus on the high end, top tier thing that not everyone can afford...
It all comes down to when I have looked at dozens of other videos to get information for something I want or need for a computer. I will come back to "TECH DEALS" and the gentleman that gives me the information and steers me in the right direction. Excellent advice and instruction given in a clean and uncluttered way that distracts from the information I need. No mumbling, out of focus video, talking over my head, too much techno babble, straightforward information and suggestions that are spot on. This man needs to have a show on tv, because he is that good, until then I will come back to his RUclips videos for tech information.
This is the best person to learn more about PC building. He has all detailed reviews. Maybe he can make a playlist with the most important videos to make the PC. Thank you for your work man.
@@hhectorlector Allegedly by the manufacturer. Very different when you actually test it. Check out GamersNexus' video when he does all the tests for multiple builds.

Yeah. Power supply reviews are really contradicting and idk who to trust. Some people say a evga 500w br is trash and will fail and some say it's fine.
@@zen528 Not anything definitive but I bought one last year for my R5 2400G system. It has been very quiet and only turns on under heavy loads. No problems. So, I bought another on black Friday for my new R7 2700 build this year. I believe they are made by a company called Sunflower.?.? or something like that and they have a very good reputation.
Went from knowing nothing about PSU's, to knowing everything I'd ever need to know about PSU's in 13 minutes. If you were a power supply, you'd be 1000 platinum.
I have never written a comment in any video in youtube and I am really youtube-dependent hehe, but I think that there is always a first time, so, I just want you to know that this is by far, the best PC-Tech channel that I have seen in youtube, your videos shows a lot of professionalism, and all cann see that you have great knowledge and very seriousness, this is the kind of channel that everybody needs when we want a real answer related to PC subject. So congratulations and greetings from Mexico.
I bought a Corsair RM750 about three years ago for my first build, which had a g3258 and a GTX 960. It is now inside my new Ryzen 7 build, which has an overclocked R7 1700, two overclocked GTX 1070s, two hard drives, two SSDs, two sticks of overclocked ram, 6 fans, an AIO water pump, and an LED strip. IMHO, the PSU is the only thing you can future proof, so I'd suggest you buy a 650 to 800 watt psu and you will be golden for any upgrades you might make in the future, and if you get a PSU with a 0RPM mode you willmost likely run it with the fan turned off most of the time, even when gaming.
Just came across this vid. Been subbed for some time and I also do not get why there are no more subs. I think this is the best, no sellout, tech channel with straight and good advise if you shop for parts. The SSD vid is still my favorite.
this brings me back to 8 years ago when most tech channels were original like this guy. I love this, gonna check out whate else he has to say even though im not learning anything, its just really well put together.
First off, I am so thankful for your videos @TechDeals! You are teaching me so much. I deeply appreciate your time. Second, I am seeking some guidance for a power supply question for our first build. I am learning how to build a computer with my boys because they will be doing RUclips videos/gaming etc. I am open to upgrading in the future and that is what brings my question. Will the power supply I have been given be more than okay? Ultra LSP650 650-Watt Power Supply - ATX, SATA-Ready, SLI-Ready, 135mm Fan, Sleeved Cables Or will it be a good choice to upgrade to: EVGA 750 B3, 80 Plus BRONZE 750W, Fully Modular, EVGA ECO Mode The reason why I ask, is the EVGA 750 will run me $64 after rebate and shipping costs. I also really like that it is modular. The free one will have all the power cords dangling and I would like to keep it clean looking. It also appears to be a great deal. I am curious if I should keep my money and go with the free power supply? Or upgrade to modular power supply with a 5 year warranty at a great deal? Or maybe...... I should go with the free power supply and upgrade our case to: Phanteks PH-EC416PSTG_BK Eclipse P400S Silent Edition with Tempered Glass, Satin Black Cases? Thank you in advance for any thoughts and suggestions for helping us with our first build together! Here is the system we are building: Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (Will look into overclocking) Motherboard: Asus - STRIX B350-F GAMING ATX AM4 Memory: ADATA - XPG GAMMIX D10 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Storage: 1) Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive 2) Western Digital - BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SC GAMING Case: Deepcool - TESSERACT SW ATX Mid Tower Case Keyboard: Corsair - K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE Mouse: Logitech - G502 Proteus Core
i've been more informed about psu's in this video than probably any other forum post or any other youtube videos in at least 3 years , GREAT video ! Thanks a bunch
Fantastic work, as always. What do you think about a nine year old Antec True Power 650W. What I mean is is it ok to keep using it? It's never been pushed, and the voltage levels seem in line with what they should be. Will it go out of spec eventually or fail from age, or is it mostly down to how hard it was used? I don't want to use it too long and damage my system. It's never powered more than one graphics card and two drives.
Did you just unironically recommend an N1? ok, uh, where do I start? I guess by saying that efficiency isn't related to the quality or reliability of a power supply. Not all bronze units are created equal; a unit can be very efficient, but that doesn't matter much if its capacitors explode when you hook up a high transient draw graphics card to it. You did an excellent job explaining efficiencies and modularity, but there's a lot more that should influence a PSU buying decision than that. The main issue I have is that several of the units you recommended are group regulated, and one of which (the W1) exploded in a review of it. I highly recommend you look into group regulated units and why they're a really bad idea. Essentially, a power supply has to provide power in three different voltages: 3.3v, 5v, and 12v. The job of the power supply is to make sure that this power output is as consistent and clean as possible, so it would make sense that these would be regulated separately. On most modern units, this is the case; on group regulated ones, the 5v and 12v voltages are regulated *on the same coil.* This topology was common on much older units, but it worked because computers didn't draw nearly as much power as they do today; if the power draw on the 12v line gets too high (which is a real concern given how much modern cards can take,) regulation on the 5v line can fail to the point where it no longer meets the (already very lenient) ATX specification. Combine that with the fact that the W1 lacks functional OTP to protect itself from overheating when its low-quality capacitors inevitably get overdrawn, and you have a recipe for fireworks. edit: if you need more information, look at the tomshardware review of the N1. It should tell you about what you need to know.
Great video, no doubt. I bought a EVGA 750B supply that is non modular but had nice all black cables. This thing is tough, my girlfriend spilled coke into the psu on the 2nd day of me having it (while it was running) because i was making a custom case and had jumped the 24pin while i was testing things. It cut off ofcourse, so i took the case apart, used an air compressor and paper towels on it for an hour to try to dry it out as fast as i could before it became sticky. 5 months later this thing has not skipped a single beat. Can't beat it, and it only cost me $36 on amazon on sale.
A quick tip though, figure out how much power your pc will use in total (pc part picker works great), double it, and buy the closest number to it while rounding up. So that way your only using half of its possible power, so the fan will not be loud and the psu will not be working hard, making it last longer
Watched you since 2.5k subscribers and now this Christmas built a gaming pc thanks to you! Keep it up. I find you more instructive and easier to listen to than the bigger tech channels. Thanks again and good work!
Nice overview! The only thing I believe was missed are some features offered by the Corsair 1000W 80+ Platinum. One, it lets you control the fan curves via the Corsair Link. Second, it is fully modular so that you can swap out and use custom cables. Those features might be appealing to some and worth the price premium.
As long as your building a rig with a single gpu setup the evga 550g2 is all you need and will last many many builds, it has a 7 year warranty, fully modular, 80+ gold, has eco mode, on tier one of the psu tier list, and is extremely quiet, and is only 80 dollars, as long as your not on an extreme budget this is an amazing psu for the price, I don't know why this psu wasn't on the list.
$80 is beyond the budget for most people... The average computer simply doesn't need all that, it sound nice, and it is, but it is overkill for the average PC...
Thanks for the video pretty much insightful I've got a question though, i have an HD 7850 MSI 1gb OC with a i5-3470 , supplied by a cooler master GX Lite 500w 86+gold and i'm about to upgrade my gpu to the beasty r9 290 , i know it's a power hungry but can my psu manage this beast at least for booting and trying it out or should i upgrade to a evga 600 shown in the video for a safe zone ??
I'm currently running a Ryzen 5 3600 with RX580 (wanting to upgrade to a 6800 or 3070 in the near future). I've calculated the whole build would draw maximum of 420-450W and now i'm not sure whether it would be better to power it up with either: a) Corsair RM 750x Gold b) Corsair CX 750F Bronze c) Corsair CX 650F Bronze Would the efficiency ratios really play that much of a difference over time? What about lower wattage vs higher wattage unit drawing power from the wall? And lastly: which would be most efficient during idle operation which would account for more than 50% of use? It's worth mentioning option A is around $35 more expensive than option B, and $60 more than C. Both B & C are 2020 models whilst option A is 2018. Both B & C are white and have RGB enabled and controlled from iCue software (in theme which my whole set up). Keen to hear your opinions and all pros and cons, thanks for your input in advance :)
lol do you also point that out to the cashier at your local coffee shop when she says: "one long black" and you think of Lexington Steele..? Didn't think so 😂
I am currently planning on buying an aio liquid cooling. Saw the arctic liquid freezer 240, do you think it's a good deal in comparison to the much more expensive corsair ones?
will a 450w corsair 80+ psu be ok for my pc? i5 7400 rx 470 (i may oc a bit) b250 mobo 16gb ddr4 2400mhz 1ssd 1hdd thanks in advance and good video as always
I tend to treat buying power supplies like a art. You can find some brands are better than others. I see a lot of cheaper power supplies that will supply all the power you need but not a clean signal. I used to only buy PC Power and Cooling (Now Seasonic) for many years because they had the least noise, or volt drop when a huge demand is placed on it quickly, and you would never have a sudden glitch, lockup ect that a real cheap supply would give you. Another thing to look at is how many watts are supplied on each supply line. Some or most have the majority of power going to the 12v and then the 5 and 3.3v line with a touch to the -12v which is really a no issue line. But when you buy the smaller rated power supplies you want to make sure that enough is going to the 12v line to power you cpu and graphics. I would never buy under 500w for a home built sys. and prefer a 700w just in case I want to go crazy in the future. A good power supply will last though many upgrades so it's one of the most important things you will buy for you computer. A good, clean stable voltage with very little noise will treat you well.
Hi my name is Andy im visually impaired. I've built a budget gaming build with an evga 500 watt 80+ white power supply. my question regarding these power supplys is when a computer they are in powers down do they make any noise? when i turn off my pc it makes something like a light whistle. i just want to know if thats normal with these 80+ white power suoplys or if i should be concerned. build specs: intel pentium g4400 gigabyte ga-h110m-a motherboard. crucial 4gb ddr4 2133 ram. WD blue 1tb hard drive, xfx rx460 2gb gddr5 evga 500 watt 80+ white power supply. zalman zm-t2 plus mini tower. your videos are great keep up the good work!
Great video! I have a question. I own an evga nex750b psu, one with multiple 12v rails and after doing some research I've seen a lot of people saying to avoid it. I'm running an ryzen 7 1700 and gtx 1070 in my system, should I consider getting a higher quality psu to be safe?
I also picked up a nex750b and have heard terrible things. Its been running fine so far, nice and quiet. I am putting a gigabyte 1070 in next month. Will it handle it? Should i abandon ship or see how it goes? Very nervous at this point.
jonathan williams I still have no answer to my question, but psu has been working so far and I've got an ryzen 7 1700 and a gtx 1070, my graphics card shows a high coil whine when playing games like the Witcher 3, but I don't know if it is the psu fault or not
What’s your opinion on the RaidMax PSU’s? My brother in law has one on the way to “upgrade” his prebuilt computer. I tried to nudge him toward an EVGA 500w or a Corsair or something a little more well known/ reputable but he chose the save the $8-10 and go Raidmax.
Last piece of the puzzle for my computer and you are the only one that was able to coherently explain what I need in laymen terms. Thanks man keep up the quality videos
Hi, I'm late to the party here. 2 things to say : 1st : Loving these no nonsense videos, keep it up :) 2nd : About efficiency , you might want to mention that a higher rated PSU like a gold (or above) generate less waste heat and so require less cooling. Hence tend to run quieter and cooler than a cheaper unit :)
Hello, @Tech Deals. I'm going to buy a power supply. Can you give any suggestions or make the newer video if applicable? Or nothing has changed after two years... I really wish to get information about any newer models... Currently, I've i5-2310 CPU, 4gb ddr3 1600mhz ram, Nvidia gts450 video card but I'm going to upgrade my PC in future; 8gb+ ddr4 ram, i5 gen8+, video card probably gtx 1060. This is the approximate configuration of what I'm planning to buy.
I accidently Put a bid on a vega64, my PSU is a thermatake 600w, so I might be needing a PSU upgrade... to 750w. Any videos on replacing PSU? My concern is removing the amazing cable management that came with my Cyberpower, & having to re-create it with my messy hands.
I built my pc thanks to you,I've commented about it a few videos ago.Now,I watch your videos because I love them,the way you talk helps a lot,because I can barely understand english,and with you I understand about 90% of what you say,so it works a lot for me for future upgrades,so thanks you,hope you reach to 100k pretty soon. And can you make a video about drivers and all of that stuff?
@ techdeals (as you didnt tell us your real name) you are the most honest, straight to the point guy on youtube channel right now. No clickbaits, no false claims..nothing. Maybe thats why your subscription rate is low! :( Keep up the good work sir! PS: I am drunk as f*** right now
one important factor you've missed (to some anyway) is the sound output. I at first was going to go with the EVGA G2 because I heard the fan only turns on at a specific point making it totally silent, but then people who have used it said it sounded like a blow dryer when the fans turned on. others saying it was louder than their graphics card on full load which is concerning. What's a good option to go with if your noise conscious? I'm going to be recording audio and I don't want power supply noise being picked up.
This guy is good. He gives the most un-biased reviews yet. 1) Methodical explanations. 2) I think his reviews, help us get away from our dogmatic fanboy/girlism and be more objective. People for far too long approach reviews with their minds already made up. Basically we just want someone to confirm our preferences so we get the "I was right feel good". I think his reviews help us get away from that and learn to honestly listen to all angles. It's something I haven't seen in several years, maybe even a decade to be honest.
Great video Sir. Could you please help me to choose a PSU for my prebuild machine? As I am going to upgrade my GPU to gtx 1060 amp edition from Zotac. Currently I have i3 6100+gtx 750 ti and 2x4gb ddr4 ram running on a cheap psu. I have Corsair VS450 in my mind since EVGA's are too costly and unavailable in my country. I have no planning in overclocking. 450W is enough for Zotac gtx 1060 oc + i3 6100 ?
Any advice! My first time building a gaming pc I'm going for gtx 980ti, and ryzen 1700x (maybe higher like 1800x or the new ryzen 2700x) with a asus strix x370-f mono looking at 8gb of ram at the moment but will be adding another 8gb in future... what psu would I need? It says on that cooler master power calculator website 447w so she'll I go for 500w? Or stick to 450w? Please reply! Thanks
Nice channel and like someone already posted, way way to fewer likes and subscribers! I'm from EU and noticed EVGA is way to high in price when comparing to others. But is it still worth it? I was thinking about getting a Cooler Master B500 ver.2 or a Cooler Master B600 ver.2.
My custom build is estimated to consume 420~ watts. So, i chose an EVGA 80+ Platinum 750 model. Is this overkill? My thinking is if i go a little more, then less power should be used allowing the PSU to not run at max output. Thoughts?
So my PSU right now is a EVGA 650w bronze. And Lately I’ve been noticing it being really loud when gaming. I’m assuming it means it’s coming close to the end of its life? But idk which PSU to get? I overclocked both my R5 3600 and my rx 5700xt. Will getting the 650 be enough or just go to the 750?
Love your channel, straight to the point. Make it clear and crisp, and even for a noobie real easy to understand! By the way, you remind me a bit of Jim Carrey, from that movie Me, Myself & Irene. I'm going to start giving your videos Thumbs, up. I don't do this for any other channel!
Hi tech deals! Can you do a review on Pico PSU's cause I want to use on for an i5 6500/16gb ram/gtx 1060 for an ultra small form factor build. For storage I will be using an M.2 SSD, 525gb ssd, and possibly a second SSD later on. No hard drives in this build to keep everything as quiet and still as possible. I might swap the 1060 for the fanless 1050. If the temps are okay I can live with the low fps for less noise. For CPU cooler I will probably use the Noctua low profile CPU cooler. Any thoughts on this build?
I recently found your channel and am currently going through your $1500 build playlist and wow. You're very knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you for making videos and keep up the good work!
Good video, but I would add regardless of the power supply you buy always check how many amps it has on the 12+ rail(that's what powers the major components) then multiply by 12(40 amps x 12 = 480 watts for example) make sure you're getting what you're paying for because some companies will sell powrer supplies rated for a certain number of watts that can't maintain that load for more than a few seconds then fail, sometimes frying the rest of your computer.
I did go the EVGA 750W G2 myself. Warranties interest me a lot. My last power supply lasted about 5 years which is not bad, but if I can pay a little more to save time and heartache later I am going to do it with computer parts. 750W was overkill but I knew it would carry into my next build and maybe beyond.
Needing my computer to operate quietly and with best efficiency, the power supply I chose was an EVGA 850PQ. This power supply can operate silently without the fan on, or as I have set it, to run quietly at the fan's lowest speed. Only when its power output surpasses ~65%, does its fan speed increase, slightly at first. Max. fan speed is only utilized at max. power output, which is 850 W continuous @ 50°C - a superb max.power output spec. Listed at $160, has a 10 yr warranty, and is semi modular. Replacing a Bronze rated unit, ts platinum rating further reduces the waste heat released into the surrounding air. [I have no AC.]

So congratulations and greetings from Mexico.
I bought a Corsair RM750 about three years ago for my first build, which had a g3258 and a GTX 960. It is now inside my new Ryzen 7 build, which has an overclocked R7 1700, two overclocked GTX 1070s, two hard drives, two SSDs, two sticks of overclocked ram, 6 fans, an AIO water pump, and an LED strip. IMHO, the PSU is the only thing you can future proof, so I'd suggest you buy a 650 to 800 watt psu and you will be golden for any upgrades you might make in the future, and if you get a PSU with a 0RPM mode you willmost likely run it with the fan turned off most of the time, even when gaming.
Just came across this vid. Been subbed for some time and I also do not get why there are no more subs. I think this is the best, no sellout, tech channel with straight and good advise if you shop for parts. The SSD vid is still my favorite.
very good video, very good english for foreigners to understand and plain and simple facts, thank you for these :)
Best tech channel on RUclips, IMO.
No fancy video production frills .. no quick-cut BS .. just the info you need.
Awesome!
Should have at least 2 million subs
this brings me back to 8 years ago when most tech channels were original like this guy.
I love this, gonna check out whate else he has to say even though im not learning anything, its just really well put together.
No fuss. I like such reviews. Simple and straight to the point. Keep up the good work. You deserve more subs.
First off, I am so thankful for your videos @TechDeals! You are teaching me so much. I deeply appreciate your time.
Second, I am seeking some guidance for a power supply question for our first build.
I am learning how to build a computer with my boys because they will be doing RUclips videos/gaming etc. I am open to upgrading in the future and that is what brings my question.
Will the power supply I have been given be more than okay?
Ultra LSP650 650-Watt Power Supply - ATX, SATA-Ready, SLI-Ready, 135mm Fan, Sleeved Cables
Or will it be a good choice to upgrade to:
EVGA 750 B3, 80 Plus BRONZE 750W, Fully Modular, EVGA ECO Mode
The reason why I ask, is the EVGA 750 will run me $64 after rebate and shipping costs. I also really like that it is modular. The free one will have all the power cords dangling and I would like to keep it clean looking. It also appears to be a great deal.
I am curious if I should keep my money and go with the free power supply? Or upgrade to modular power supply with a 5 year warranty at a great deal?
Or maybe...... I should go with the free power supply and upgrade our case to: Phanteks PH-EC416PSTG_BK Eclipse P400S Silent Edition with Tempered Glass, Satin Black Cases?
Thank you in advance for any thoughts and suggestions for helping us with our first build together!
Here is the system we are building:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (Will look into overclocking)
Motherboard: Asus - STRIX B350-F GAMING ATX AM4
Memory: ADATA - XPG GAMMIX D10 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666
Storage: 1) Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
2) Western Digital - BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SC GAMING
Case: Deepcool - TESSERACT SW ATX Mid Tower Case
Keyboard: Corsair - K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE
Mouse: Logitech - G502 Proteus Core
The guy of her dream: Brad Pitt
The guy of my dreams: Tech Deals.
i've been more informed about psu's in this video than probably any other forum post or any other youtube videos in at least 3 years , GREAT video ! Thanks a bunch
Can't wait for you to have 100k subs.. in like a week!
Thanks!
190k ^^
I'm from the future: 439K
hey man great video! Witch power supply for two 1080 Ti Sli plz?
So techdeals, when are we going to get another livestream? :D
Some time in March... I'm swamped until then...
Tech Deals o damn, hype is building up
Esteban why dabbing
Fantastic work, as always. What do you think about a nine year old Antec True Power 650W. What I mean is is it ok to keep using it? It's never been pushed, and the voltage levels seem in line with what they should be. Will it go out of spec eventually or fail from age, or is it mostly down to how hard it was used? I don't want to use it too long and damage my system. It's never powered more than one graphics card and two drives.
without thinking hit like button:)
Yeahh... me too, we all trust him so definitely 👍
everything you NEED to know and NOTHING you dont....great stuff...love a tech video with no filler!
Did you just unironically recommend an N1?
ok, uh, where do I start? I guess by saying that efficiency isn't related to the quality or reliability of a power supply. Not all bronze units are created equal; a unit can be very efficient, but that doesn't matter much if its capacitors explode when you hook up a high transient draw graphics card to it. You did an excellent job explaining efficiencies and modularity, but there's a lot more that should influence a PSU buying decision than that. The main issue I have is that several of the units you recommended are group regulated, and one of which (the W1) exploded in a review of it.
I highly recommend you look into group regulated units and why they're a really bad idea. Essentially, a power supply has to provide power in three different voltages: 3.3v, 5v, and 12v. The job of the power supply is to make sure that this power output is as consistent and clean as possible, so it would make sense that these would be regulated separately. On most modern units, this is the case; on group regulated ones, the 5v and 12v voltages are regulated *on the same coil.* This topology was common on much older units, but it worked because computers didn't draw nearly as much power as they do today; if the power draw on the 12v line gets too high (which is a real concern given how much modern cards can take,) regulation on the 5v line can fail to the point where it no longer meets the (already very lenient) ATX specification. Combine that with the fact that the W1 lacks functional OTP to protect itself from overheating when its low-quality capacitors inevitably get overdrawn, and you have a recipe for fireworks.
edit: if you need more information, look at the tomshardware review of the N1. It should tell you about what you need to know.
b a s e d .
@@swiggle0130 Explosions are bad. Very based, yes.
I enjoy how all of the information is straight-up, not overboard or nitpicky - just lays it out there and says what it's good for.
You. Are. A. Godsend.
Thank you. You help me through my decision.
Great video, no doubt. I bought a EVGA 750B supply that is non modular but had nice all black cables. This thing is tough, my girlfriend spilled coke into the psu on the 2nd day of me having it (while it was running) because i was making a custom case and had jumped the 24pin while i was testing things. It cut off ofcourse, so i took the case apart, used an air compressor and paper towels on it for an hour to try to dry it out as fast as i could before it became sticky. 5 months later this thing has not skipped a single beat. Can't beat it, and it only cost me $36 on amazon on sale.
A quick tip though, figure out how much power your pc will use in total (pc part picker works great), double it, and buy the closest number to it while rounding up. So that way your only using half of its possible power, so the fan will not be loud and the psu will not be working hard, making it last longer
This guy is really good on giving reviews. Great infos and no bullshit.
Watched you since 2.5k subscribers and now this Christmas built a gaming pc thanks to you! Keep it up. I find you more instructive and easier to listen to than the bigger tech channels. Thanks again and good work!
What if this guy worked for linus, linustechtips would be the most dependable tech channel
Prolly would become, LinusTechDeals lol awesome name
Nice overview! The only thing I believe was missed are some features offered by the Corsair 1000W 80+ Platinum. One, it lets you control the fan curves via the Corsair Link. Second, it is fully modular so that you can swap out and use custom cables. Those features might be appealing to some and worth the price premium.
So, will my 600 B run a single 1080 ti just fine?
Great video by the way. I love this channel
Cedrick Neal yessir, easily
I like how professional you are. No time-wasting jokes that use up my attention span etc. love it, great channel.
As long as your building a rig with a single gpu setup the evga 550g2 is all you need and will last many many builds, it has a 7 year warranty, fully modular, 80+ gold, has eco mode, on tier one of the psu tier list, and is extremely quiet, and is only 80 dollars, as long as your not on an extreme budget this is an amazing psu for the price, I don't know why this psu wasn't on the list.
Dawson Cook I got a 650 G2 great PSU
$80 is beyond the budget for most people... The average computer simply doesn't need all that, it sound nice, and it is, but it is overkill for the average PC...
$40 for the 500 Watt Bronze is really all most people need, that extra $40 can go into more RAM, or more SSD space, or simply stay in your pocket.
hows so on nvidia page 1060s are told in need of 400w minimum and 1070 500w minimum?confused here
Thanks for the video pretty much insightful
I've got a question though, i have an HD 7850 MSI 1gb OC with a i5-3470 , supplied by a cooler master GX Lite 500w 86+gold and i'm about to upgrade my gpu to the beasty r9 290 , i know it's a power hungry but can my psu manage this beast at least for booting and trying it out or should i upgrade to a evga 600 shown in the video for a safe zone ??
Great video, best I've found on the internet
out of all the videos I saw on youtube explaining the difference between power supplies, you're the only guy that explained it perfectly !
how can som1 dislike this video??
@COFASA i agree with you but i still liked the vid out of habit 😂
Haters hate thats what they do best
I'm currently running a Ryzen 5 3600 with RX580 (wanting to upgrade to a 6800 or 3070 in the near future). I've calculated the whole build would draw maximum of 420-450W and now i'm not sure whether it would be better to power it up with either:
a) Corsair RM 750x Gold
b) Corsair CX 750F Bronze
c) Corsair CX 650F Bronze
Would the efficiency ratios really play that much of a difference over time? What about lower wattage vs higher wattage unit drawing power from the wall? And lastly: which would be most efficient during idle operation which would account for more than 50% of use?
It's worth mentioning option A is around $35 more expensive than option B, and $60 more than C.
Both B & C are 2020 models whilst option A is 2018. Both B & C are white and have RGB enabled and controlled from iCue software (in theme which my whole set up).
Keen to hear your opinions and all pros and cons, thanks for your input in advance :)
evga should sponsor u
This video was so helpful. Everything I find is for those tech savy and you made it super simple
3:37 WHITEPOWER???
Racist!!!!
At least he wasn't promoting them. LOL
lol do you also point that out to the cashier at your local coffee shop when she says: "one long black" and you think of Lexington Steele..? Didn't think so 😂
I am currently planning on buying an aio liquid cooling. Saw the arctic liquid freezer 240, do you think it's a good deal in comparison to the much more expensive corsair ones?
will a 450w corsair 80+ psu be ok for my pc?
i5 7400
rx 470 (i may oc a bit)
b250 mobo
16gb ddr4 2400mhz
1ssd
1hdd
thanks in advance and good video as always
justanalt do you think it will be a problem?
You'll be fine.
I'm rocking a 480 with an i3 530 (not the best CPU to have around these days I know) and all being powered by an EVGA 400w.
Jonathan ok thanks!and yeah you sould definately upgrade to at least a pentium g4560
Jonathan if you can't afford a new motherboard + RAM, just get an i7 860/870/875K/880
Still old, but it's a big jump in performance.
Jonathan get a g4560 :p
I tend to treat buying power supplies like a art. You can find some brands are better than others. I see a lot of cheaper power supplies that will supply all the power you need but not a clean signal. I used to only buy PC Power and Cooling (Now Seasonic) for many years because they had the least noise, or volt drop when a huge demand is placed on it quickly, and you would never have a sudden glitch, lockup ect that a real cheap supply would give you. Another thing to look at is how many watts are supplied on each supply line. Some or most have the majority of power going to the 12v and then the 5 and 3.3v line with a touch to the -12v which is really a no issue line. But when you buy the smaller rated power supplies you want to make sure that enough is going to the 12v line to power you cpu and graphics. I would never buy under 500w for a home built sys. and prefer a 700w just in case I want to go crazy in the future. A good power supply will last though many upgrades so it's one of the most important things you will buy for you computer. A good, clean stable voltage with very little noise will treat you well.
NewEgg has EVGA 600B for $52 Aud (40 usd) on special. What a steal, think I might take it. What do you think?
it's a bang for your bucks !!!
Hi my name is Andy im visually impaired. I've built a budget gaming build with an evga 500 watt 80+ white power supply. my question regarding these power supplys is when a computer they are in powers down do they make any noise? when i turn off my pc it makes something like a light whistle. i just want to know if thats normal with these 80+ white power suoplys or if i should be concerned.
build specs:
intel pentium g4400
gigabyte ga-h110m-a motherboard.
crucial 4gb ddr4 2133 ram.
WD blue 1tb hard drive,
xfx rx460 2gb gddr5
evga 500 watt 80+ white power supply.
zalman zm-t2 plus mini tower.
your videos are great keep up the good work!
I'm gonna connect 4 EVGA 400W with SLI so I can finally run Minecraft at 720p.
jk.
A joke is meant to be funny
Great video! I have a question. I own an evga nex750b psu, one with multiple 12v rails and after doing some research I've seen a lot of people saying to avoid it. I'm running an ryzen 7 1700 and gtx 1070 in my system, should I consider getting a higher quality psu to be safe?
I also picked up a nex750b and have heard terrible things. Its been running fine so far, nice and quiet. I am putting a gigabyte 1070 in next month. Will it handle it? Should i abandon ship or see how it goes? Very nervous at this point.
jonathan williams I still have no answer to my question, but psu has been working so far and I've got an ryzen 7 1700 and a gtx 1070, my graphics card shows a high coil whine when playing games like the Witcher 3, but I don't know if it is the psu fault or not
please do the review of dell inspiron 7567
yes I also wanna that
What’s your opinion on the RaidMax PSU’s? My brother in law has one on the way to “upgrade” his prebuilt computer. I tried to nudge him toward an EVGA 500w or a Corsair or something a little more well known/ reputable but he chose the save the $8-10 and go Raidmax.
Lol I bought a 430 w 80+ Bronze and the company screwed up and sent me a Corsair CX 500 for the price of the 430 aha. Still a great PSU tho
not the only flextronics does fine as well as super flower and a few others
Last piece of the puzzle for my computer and you are the only one that was able to coherently explain what I need in laymen terms. Thanks man keep up the quality videos
Some people say the gold+ evga psu will have higher quality components than the bronze+ evga psu. Is there any truth to that?
yeah they will they have to but it isn't like the bronze ones are fire hazards
dstblj 52 well I ended up with an evga gold psu
Hi, I'm late to the party here.
2 things to say :
1st : Loving these no nonsense videos, keep it up :)
2nd : About efficiency , you might want to mention that a higher rated PSU like a gold (or above) generate less waste heat and so require less cooling.
Hence tend to run quieter and cooler than a cheaper unit :)
Seasonic ftw
Just curious, any recommendations on power strip/surge protection for a Gaming Desktop? Any brand or features recommendations?
Hello, @Tech Deals. I'm going to buy a power supply. Can you give any suggestions or make the newer video if applicable? Or nothing has changed after two years... I really wish to get information about any newer models... Currently, I've i5-2310 CPU, 4gb ddr3 1600mhz ram, Nvidia gts450 video card but I'm going to upgrade my PC in future; 8gb+ ddr4 ram, i5 gen8+, video card probably gtx 1060. This is the approximate configuration of what I'm planning to buy.
I accidently Put a bid on a vega64, my PSU is a thermatake 600w, so I might be needing a PSU upgrade... to 750w. Any videos on replacing PSU? My concern is removing the amazing cable management that came with my Cyberpower, & having to re-create it with my messy hands.
I built my pc thanks to you,I've commented about it a few videos ago.Now,I watch your videos because I love them,the way you talk helps a lot,because I can barely understand english,and with you I understand about 90% of what you say,so it works a lot for me for future upgrades,so thanks you,hope you reach to 100k pretty soon. And can you make a video about drivers and all of that stuff?
@ techdeals (as you didnt tell us your real name) you are the most honest, straight to the point guy on youtube channel right now. No clickbaits, no false claims..nothing. Maybe thats why your subscription rate is low! :(
Keep up the good work sir!
PS: I am drunk as f*** right now
one important factor you've missed (to some anyway) is the sound output. I at first was going to go with the EVGA G2 because I heard the fan only turns on at a specific point making it totally silent, but then people who have used it said it sounded like a blow dryer when the fans turned on. others saying it was louder than their graphics card on full load which is concerning.
What's a good option to go with if your noise conscious? I'm going to be recording audio and I don't want power supply noise being picked up.
Which is better consair or evga .? Price n capability? Tnx
HI,your videos just tempted me into building a gaming pc.
is evga 600w 80plus white a good choice for i5 6600 and gtx 1060 6gb?
This guy is good. He gives the most un-biased reviews yet. 1) Methodical explanations. 2) I think his reviews, help us get away from our dogmatic fanboy/girlism and be more objective. People for far too long approach reviews with their minds already made up. Basically we just want someone to confirm our preferences so we get the "I was right feel good". I think his reviews help us get away from that and learn to honestly listen to all angles. It's something I haven't seen in several years, maybe even a decade to be honest.
Great video Sir. Could you please help me to choose a PSU for my prebuild machine? As I am going to upgrade my GPU to gtx 1060 amp edition from Zotac. Currently I have i3 6100+gtx 750 ti and 2x4gb ddr4 ram running on a cheap psu.
I have Corsair VS450 in my mind since EVGA's are too costly and unavailable in my country. I have no planning in overclocking.
450W is enough for Zotac gtx 1060 oc + i3 6100 ?
Great comprehensive video on power suplies own a couple 750 watt evga's myself
Hello will this small 2 configure in my prebuilt HP prodesk 600 G4 microtower 6.6X10.7X13.3 inch tower machine. Will it hold into the machine?
By far the best pc channel . Straight to the point no overacting like Linus tech ( over does with cheap jokes) really enjoy watching this channel.
Any advice! My first time building a gaming pc I'm going for gtx 980ti, and ryzen 1700x (maybe higher like 1800x or the new ryzen 2700x) with a asus strix x370-f mono looking at 8gb of ram at the moment but will be adding another 8gb in future... what psu would I need? It says on that cooler master power calculator website 447w so she'll I go for 500w? Or stick to 450w? Please reply! Thanks
Nice channel and like someone already posted, way way to fewer likes and subscribers!
I'm from EU and noticed EVGA is way to high in price when comparing to others. But is it still worth it? I was thinking about getting a Cooler Master B500 ver.2 or a Cooler Master B600 ver.2.
2019 still relevant and loved your content keep up the good work 😊
No bs; just facts! Absolutely love your work.
My custom build is estimated to consume 420~ watts. So, i chose an EVGA 80+ Platinum 750 model. Is this overkill? My thinking is if i go a little more, then less power should be used allowing the PSU to not run at max output. Thoughts?
I know I’m 2 years late, but this really helped me out with shopping for a power supply.
So my PSU right now is a EVGA 650w bronze. And Lately I’ve been noticing it being really loud when gaming. I’m assuming it means it’s coming close to the end of its life? But idk which PSU to get? I overclocked both my R5 3600 and my rx 5700xt. Will getting the 650 be enough or just go to the 750?
Love the channel! Straight to the point no BS! Keep it up!
Love your channel, straight to the point. Make it clear and crisp, and even for a noobie real easy to understand! By the way, you remind me a bit of Jim Carrey, from that movie Me, Myself & Irene. I'm going to start giving your videos Thumbs, up. I don't do this for any other channel!
Hi tech deals! Can you do a review on Pico PSU's cause I want to use on for an i5 6500/16gb ram/gtx 1060 for an ultra small form factor build. For storage I will be using an M.2 SSD, 525gb ssd, and possibly a second SSD later on. No hard drives in this build to keep everything as quiet and still as possible. I might swap the 1060 for the fanless 1050. If the temps are okay I can live with the low fps for less noise. For CPU cooler I will probably use the Noctua low profile CPU cooler. Any thoughts on this build?
The most underrated tech channel on youtube. I'm so lucky to have found this channel. Thank you,thank you so much...
I recently found your channel and am currently going through your $1500 build playlist and wow. You're very knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you for making videos and keep up the good work!
Good video, but I would add regardless of the power supply you buy always check how many amps it has on the 12+ rail(that's what powers the major components) then multiply by 12(40 amps x 12 = 480 watts for example) make sure you're getting what you're paying for because some companies will sell powrer supplies rated for a certain number of watts that can't maintain that load for more than a few seconds then fail, sometimes frying the rest of your computer.
Thanks alot forvthis great video
But if i found Corsair cx600(2017gray) and evga 600w (white) in the same price which one should i pick up
I did go the EVGA 750W G2 myself. Warranties interest me a lot. My last power supply lasted about 5 years which is not bad, but if I can pay a little more to save time and heartache later I am going to do it with computer parts. 750W was overkill but I knew it would carry into my next build and maybe beyond.
I'd be happy if I could find any of these. COVID-19 PC PART CRISIS 2020.
You're hands down the greatest tech channels on RUclips, your videos helped me pick most of my PC parts, thank you so much.
Needing my computer to operate quietly and with best efficiency, the power supply I chose was an EVGA 850PQ. This power supply can operate silently without the fan on, or as I have set it, to run quietly at the fan's lowest speed. Only when its power output surpasses ~65%, does its fan speed increase, slightly at first. Max. fan speed is only utilized at max. power output, which is 850 W continuous @ 50°C - a superb max.power output spec. Listed at $160, has a 10 yr warranty, and is semi modular. Replacing a Bronze rated unit, ts platinum rating further reduces the waste heat released into the surrounding air. [I have no AC.]
