    For PSUs I usually went with x 1.33 instead of x 1.5. This is because most PSUs from their instruction manual seem to most efficiently deliver power at about 75% of their full load. But last time I build was 5 years ago.

  • @praetorxyn

    I didn't know about this list, so thanks for pointing me at it. Back in 2019 when I built my PC, I went with an EVGA SuperNOVA 1200 P2, which is still in A-tier on there. I actually had a scare with it, as my computer died last April, and just wouldn't boot.
    My friend brought his PSU over for me to test with it, and while his PSU only had two PCIe connectors and not 3, things spun up fine other than that, so we thought the PSU had died. So I RMAd my PSU to EVGA, and ordered one of the be quiet! ones as a replacement, thinking then I'd have the RMAd EVGA as a backup. Super nice unit, I did not like some of the pinouts on it, but the individually sleeved cables were nice. Either way, it wouldn't boot with that PSU either! I got to experimenting and figured out what had actually died was the third PCIe power connector on my Strix 3080. If it was plugged in, it wouldn't boot. Without it plugged in, it would, but it wouldn't POST as the GPU wasn't fully powered. So it turned out both PSUs were using overcurrent protection to keep the faulty GPU from breaking anything else.
    So I sent back the be quiet! unit to Amazon for a refund, RMAd my GPU to ASUS, and when I got a replacement PSU from EVGA, everything booted fine and has been going strong ever since.
    This was my second ever hardware failure, and oddly enough it was the GPU both times. The first was an ATI X1300, which died because I was a lazy college student and dust clogged up the fan until it overheated and died.

    I have a question Jason: I have heard horror stories about extension cables, but I also know they look "spiffy". Especially the EPS cable which is a tad too short in my current situation. It means the cables are not nicely cable managed. I use the FSP 1200W - I rather go a bit higher than needed. PCPartspicker was gauging my built around 700W - at least I do not need to keep wondering if it needs a new PSU. Hey, what is your understanding of PSU wear? How long can a PSU last? I see people mentioning 2-3 years is the max.

    I have a 750w Gigabyte fully modular PSU. It came with two gpu cables that have a second connector daisy chained. If you read the box it says there are 4 connections for a gpu. My rx6800 has 3 connections so I have the second two on one cable. I've read that you should have an individual cable for each connection but it's been working fine.
    Do you think I should upgrade my psu to something that comes with 3 individual cables or is the daisy chain fine?

    Hi Jason, absolutely love your content. I recently purchased a RTX 4090 Asus Tuf OC. Will I run into any issues with my current PSU EVGA Supernova P2 1200w. I know I will have to use an adatper. Is this an ok solution?

  • @Jason-ol1ty
    @Jason-ol1ty 8 месяцев назад +6

    I have had a few PSU die on me, but the one that is going the longest for me is the one that is highest on the tier list of my owned units, my old reliable EVGA Supernova from like 8ish years ago. And while I expect all PSU to eventually die, I prefer them not to take out the rest of my rig when they do, and at least last long enough in the system until the cpu/mobo becomes obsolete. So the first video I watched that sourced the tier list is very helpful, and one component I will always buy with proven ratings.

    • @eracer1111
      @eracer1111 8 месяцев назад

      I did a lot of research before building my gaming (MSFS) rig two years ago, and decided on the EVGA 850 G6 Supernova. It's been a solid PSU. But as I've added components and upgraded others I've found that I've been seeing power draws over 720W at full load. So I just swapped in a new EVGA 1000 G7 to give the system a little more headroom. I'm convinced that many simmer's instability problems are due to 'cheaping out' on their PSU. Videos like this are very important, as they help guide folks as they design their systems.

    I just bought the "be quiet!" Pure Power 1200W ATX 3.0 PSU for my build two days ago. It'll be rocking a Gigabyte 4090 (that I'm about to leave and go pick up) and a i7-14700k on an MSI 7Z90 mobo. It may be overkill, but I think I made a good choice with my PSU! Like someone else just mentioned in another comment, I was recently just watching your 2022 PSU video on top of ALL your other videos and I just want to say THANK YOU for providing me/us with the best crash courses on everything related to building PCs! Seriously, your video formats are absolutely perfect and you are very well articulated. I can't recommend any other channel for people to first go to if they have PC questions. Thanks again!

  • @eracer1111
    @eracer1111 8 месяцев назад +1

    Jason...thank you for sharing the important information about how power cable pinouts differ from one PSU to the next. I just learned about this on the MSFS forum, so when I upgraded from an EVGA 850 G6 to an EVGA 1000 G7, I emailed EVGA before swapping them out. The response was that the pinouts were the same for everything but the SATA cables, and they recommended that I use the ones that came with the G7. I wonder how many people have installed a new modular PSU, used all their existing cables, and damaged their computer. I would have done that without thinking about it. Who wants to reroute mainboard and VGA cables?
    Great video.

  • @faiqsyahbani
    @faiqsyahbani 8 месяцев назад +5

    Super Flower Leadex VII should be the #1 reccomendation overall. Its the cheapest and reasonable price for a Tier A PSU. Just bought the 850W version last week, cant find anything better than Leadex VII in terms of value tbh.

    • @SpoonHurler
      @SpoonHurler 8 месяцев назад

      I agree. The 750w has been around 75 usd and it's a great value at that price. Has a great warranty and Super Flower isn't getting out of the psu space unless the whole company sinks unlike companies that dabble in everything, so you will more than likely have actual support fir the life of the psu.

  • @sharkey9
    @sharkey9 8 месяцев назад +3

    Great video and great advice Jason. Can't stress enough how useless and actually misleading 80+ is.
    In fact, 80+ labels can actually be bought. If your "newly released" PSU is based on an already certified OEM model, you just pay a fee and get that same label without testing. Even if it has cheaper components (in case you told your OEM to save costs). So there are loads of "gold" off-brand units out there that wouldn't even meet 80+ white standards if tested.
    There is Cybenetics though, they actually test for everything. Their certification is trustworthy.

    • @bigmacntings7451
      @bigmacntings7451 8 месяцев назад

      yeah lots of random PSU makers doing "gold" rated stuff that really isn't.
      if you have the money to spend on high end components,then absolutely get a good quality PSU to match.
      never had any issues with bequiet/EVGA/Corsair/Fractal design or seasonic.All of them very solid and will last you for ever.
      80 plus gold (and over) really is the real deal on these.you WILL get what it says on the box.
      For a component that is used every bit as much as the cpu,it is totally worth paying the little bit extra for lower noise levels and better efficiency.
      as for power specs, go by theoretical power usage, and then multiply by 1.3.
      (rule of thirds is good 2/3 as base load and 1/3 as insurance), but is a bit hit and miss.you really want peak load to be hitting about 60-70 % of PSU rating..it will never get anywhere near that in real life, but you don't want to be having system idle at below 10% of PSU either as you're wasting energy. sweet zone for all work is 20-70%

    watching these videos are going to make me self conscious about the parts I picked. I got an EVGA Supernova GT 1000 for my current build but plan on picking up the 4090 or successor in the future, like an 5090 or whatever it'll be called. It was $138 during black friday and it seemed like a good deal. I bough it purely based on review ratings on the site (I know that is hit or miss) and using evga in the past. Though I've only really used CM, EVGA, Antec, in the past. I though to getting a seasonic this time around or a phantek amp. But the seasonics were around 250-300 price, and I couldn't find the phantek amp white in stock.
    this was for a white build and I ended up just buying white cable mods.
    Its not now that I realized I could have just spent a bit more on some other white psu's that I'm not familiar with and it would have been roughly the same since the psu + cable mod extensions made it roughly the same price as these higher end white units.
    I'm hoping the EVGA GT1000 supernova is decent.
