This Short is more of a "don't cheap out on your power supply, because pricy ones have more bling" instead of a real explanation of what makes cheap power supplies bad. So let me break it down why it actually matters instead. Let's start with 80+ Certification. The PSU should have at least 80+ Gold these days. If your PSU cannot reach that, chances are it's missing important protections and is built using low quality parts that won't last long. With that said, the 80+ Rating of a power supply is not the definitive factor of what makes a power supply good. It purely rates the power supply's efficiency (basically that means a higher rating means less power lost to waste heat). Even PSUs with High 80+ Ratings can blow your system up. (Example: Gigabyte PG750M which has an 80+ Gold Rating) So what do you need to look for actually? Mainly Protections. You wanna make sure your PSU has all of them (OPP, OCP, OTP, OVP, UVP, SCP) if you wanna know what all of this stands for look up for the acronyms individually. But these things basically ensure that your PSU turns itself off safely before it gets damaged. There's also something called Ripple. You want to make sure this is kept to a minimum. If you read somewhere that a PSU tends to Ripple out of spec, avoid that unit. 12V rails. Some PSUs have single, some multiple 12V rails. Most of your components like your GPU utilize this. So you wanna make sure the amperage of the 12V rail is really high, especially when using single rail PSUs. The Standard used to be 18A but you really wanna go much higher these days. Now I know all of this makes the choice of buying PSUs look very complicated but luckily there are people willing to help. Google for the Cultists Network PSU tier list. That list is pretty good and also tells you which units are good and which are bad, they also tell you which premium looking units are actually problematic and why.

Be very careful! When he said “you don’t have to replace the power supply” when a cable breaks, do NOT mix and match cables from other power supplies, even from the same brand.
i think mixing cables from the same brand of psu is fine. corsair uses all the same psu cables from 750 to 1000 from my experience and my custom corsair sleeve cables work between 750 and 1000. but i would highly suggest NOT to mix cables between brands.
If you do need to replace cables or you decide to go custom, make sure you’re getting cables compatible with your PSU as they might have different pin outs and that can cause damage. I didn’t see a listing on FSPs website for replacement cable and cable mods doesn’t support them, so if you want to custom sleeve your cables you’ll have to go with a more popular brand. I’ve had really good luck with corsair but they’re consistently more expensive than others.
Heh, so I was challenging myself to do a $150 PC build, and after getting a used i5 3470, 16gb ddr3, and rx570, I only had $10 left for the power supply. Let's say the one I bought went pop.
Be aware of your circuit the power supply is plugged into. An 800 watt power supply can draw 8 to 10 amps on a 120 outlet. Most loops are on a 10 or 15 amp breaker. This means that you can trip the breakers or have large power bills coming soon. Just go budget build with 650 watt power supply need
Depends entirely on power draw. A lot of supplies made aren't constantly drawing the max, and if they are that's normally an indication that your supply is too small

Question for the lads. I know the lad missed out on saying to actually not mix and match cables if one fails. Ure better off with a new psu.

No matter if it's a 2,4 or 7 year old device. Can't that be the same here with computers?
How do you know it's still on? If it's the fan turning I imagine it's doing that to cool down the power supply using minimal after shutdown, if so that shouldn't be the issue. In general if the supply functions as it should then it's probably not using much if any power if the pc is shut down
@@ch4z_bucks the motherboard (some Asus I forgot) logo light is still on. I asked why to the computer geeks that set it up and they said it was because the power box drew in more than needed. I bought the 1500 just for greed so it still being on is the testament of that.

What i would reccomend is putting your parts into pcpartpicker and it'll tell you how much wattage it uses. Use this if you don't know what PSU to get for your build
I would say use whatever pc part picker says and add an additional 50 to 100 watts if you can to give yourself a safe headroom. PC part picker uses officially listed specs which use averages, they may not account for surges and spikes which can take their toll on your PSU if it's just within spec, having a PSU that can comfortably handle larger spikes or boosted power draws can be reassuring and better in the long run for your parts and PSU
I think these features has nothing to do with the safety of PSU. You’ll need to find online reviews on: - hold-up time (how long can the psu output voltage without input voltage) - ripples (pk-pk value of the outputs) - performance on cross loading (how well does the psu perform when one rail has significantly larger load) - protections (like ocp, ovp, otp, blah blah blah) and much more. If one doesn’t want to figure out these things, psus from reputable companies are usually alright. FSP psu is good enough and I’m using one of them in one of my builds. Other reputable companies includes Corsair, cooler master, silver stone, fractal design, etc.
My old 4790k and r9290 - then later 2070super - used a very overkill very good evga 850w g2 supernova since 2013 - and it is still working to this day with no change. The fan doesn't turn on and it's pretty much never been stressed at all - perfect for longevity.
Exactly what a bunch of my PC building friends told me. The PSU I plan to get is the Corsair RM750. I had to cut some costs so I decided to downgrade my GPU. Can't wait to start building my first PC 😊
if a cable on a modular psu breaks, u still have to replace the entire unit. never mix and match psu cables, one guy did that and lost his 16gb hard drive or some shit.
I consider FSP to be an OK brand, not the best, but if you're not into pushing your components well past normal use and more into the long haul, they will do fine. They're also a supplier, meaning other companies slap their logos onto their products, so they know their stuff...
This looks like a commercial for that power supply, though I don't see the legally-mandatory disclaimer that the video was sponsored or that the product was provided free of charge, so maybe not.
something not everyone knows is that the residual AC voltage (ripple) from the rectifier filter, when not filtered properly, can become a problem for components that are more sensitive another reason is that cheap and bad psu can explode, either cause the heat isn't managed properly and the transformers get so hot they burn and short the primary, which results in a possible pc damage + all protections popping NEVER cheap out on these units + be aware of what you buy, even corsair sells a terrible series which is the VS series (proves that even corsair, that makes great products, can make bad ones as well)
Also there is something called psu tiers look that up and it reccomends what count as psu tiers and get what fits with what they say this is generally the most important factor in psus
A good website that rates power supplies is powersupplycultist. They actually look more in depth than just the 80 plus "rating" that is actually worthless when it comes to power supply quality
Not long ago I built a new PC, I learned from my past errors: 1 : Buy RAM with good quality 2 : Buy yourself a good air cooler 3 : Invest in Noctua or BeQuiet fans

I know this video is meant to be general, but the 80 plus mark only rates efficiency, not the actual reliability of the power supply There are 80 plus golds rates PSUs out there that will still go out of the ATX specifications on the rails way before their advertised power, and will potentially hurt or kill your components Don't judge a power supply by the 80 plus mark That starts to get more indicative when you go to platinums or diamonds rated PSUs, because it costs a lot of money to have that efficiency so statistically the rest of the power supply will be well built to
I tell people all the time when they bring me their builds to put together that cheap unknown chinese with no rating 850w PSU may have cost 39.99 but it will cost you your cpu or motherboard or both just spend the extra 70 to 80 and get at least 80+ bronze PSU. So now I always tell them to start their build with a solid Power supply and go from there with the other components.
Actually, eco mode doesn’t increase longevity, it decreases it. Eco mode will spin up the fan multiple times, and spin up is the largest source of wear on fans. Retaining motion is almost as little wear as off.
Ik there’s already other comments about this but i want this message to get out to as much people as possible. If you wanna look for a good psu, look at psu cultists (its a psu tier list that can be found on google). This list the most reliable in terms of finding out if your psu is good or not
Depends on your budget, PSUs have gotten silly expensive lately. For most people doing a budget build a semi modular, bronze, 500W PSU from a reputable company with work just fine and cost a third of the price.
no such thing as reputable EVGA*. This is pretty poor advice. You have Corsair, which is considered “reputable”, pushing out notoriously bad PSUs namely the W1, N1 known for failing. Then you have thermaltake pushing out their Smart series which isnt great either.
A bit of research and looking at reviews is still required but it's still possible to find something on a budget for around £50 for most builds. The issue is that everyone seems to be pushing 850w 80+ gold for every average build even though they've doubled in price in the last couple of years and aren't a requirement.
radiator is installed wrong, The side of the radiator where the tubes connect should be at the bottom, and the pump should be mounted in a position where it is slightly lower than the top of the radiator, where air is captured

@@Justgreen89925 No because i never get random brands I've never heard of I'll keep SeaSonic
@@RussellPlaysMods "random brands i've never heard of" fsp seasonic and hec are the 3 main brands of the best psus you can find
What i would reccomend is putting your parts into pcpartpicker and it'll tell you how much wattage it uses. Use this if you don't know what PSU to get for your build
I would say use whatever pc part picker says and add an additional 50 to 100 watts if you can to give yourself a safe headroom. PC part picker uses officially listed specs which use averages, they may not account for surges and spikes which can take their toll on your PSU if it's just within spec, having a PSU that can comfortably handle larger spikes or boosted power draws can be reassuring and better in the long run for your parts and PSU
Me with a used PSU I bought for 20$ - 👁️👄👁️
Yeah but it's used so maybe you'gotnz very good one kust for cheap cuz'its'second hand
Everything anyone says sounds dirty now. “This is one of the biggest tips I can give”
The Waffle house has found it’s new host.
I think these features has nothing to do with the safety of PSU. You’ll need to find online reviews on:
- hold-up time (how long can the psu output voltage without input voltage)
- ripples (pk-pk value of the outputs)
- performance on cross loading
(how well does the psu perform when one rail has significantly larger load)
- protections (like ocp, ovp, otp, blah blah blah)
and much more.
If one doesn’t want to figure out these things, psus from reputable companies are usually alright. FSP psu is good enough and I’m using one of them in one of my builds. Other reputable companies includes Corsair, cooler master, silver stone, fractal design, etc.
Love this guy
This is probably the best advice when getting a new pc.
My Corsair PSU is now 10 years old. Built like a beast, that one.
My old 4790k and r9290 - then later 2070super - used a very overkill very good evga 850w g2 supernova since 2013 - and it is still working to this day with no change. The fan doesn't turn on and it's pretty much never been stressed at all - perfect for longevity.
Exactly what a bunch of my PC building friends told me. The PSU I plan to get is the Corsair RM750. I had to cut some costs so I decided to downgrade my GPU. Can't wait to start building my first PC 😊
A solid idea. It's best to have a slightly weaker pc than to have a better one that lasts a couple weeks before going up in flames or burning out.
Another tip I'd consider is to check the manufacturer of the psu ... I wish I've done that when I bought my pc
DQ850-M-V2L Deepcool . 80 Plus, modular. 10 year warranty is that why i bought it ❤
Got a Corsair 1000w going in my next build. I’m excited.
if a cable on a modular psu breaks, u still have to replace the entire unit. never mix and match psu cables, one guy did that and lost his 16gb hard drive or some shit.
So true. For my old gaming PC I had a SeaSonic Focus GX-750w 80+ Gold
For my new gaming PC I have a Corsair HX 1200w 80+ Platinum
Yep that's true, I learned it in a hard way.
That tattoo though 😂
I made this mistake before, and it died on me pretty quick, luckily it failed safe! Did a couple of builds after that were perfect
80 plus is a shit way to tell how good a psu Is now days
ehem Gigabyte P750GM, rated 80+ Gold and is a fire hazard
I consider FSP to be an OK brand, not the best, but if you're not into pushing your components well past normal use and more into the long haul, they will do fine. They're also a supplier, meaning other companies slap their logos onto their products, so they know their stuff...
This looks like a commercial for that power supply, though I don't see the legally-mandatory disclaimer that the video was sponsored or that the product was provided free of charge, so maybe not.
Yep, I 100% agree
something not everyone knows is that the residual AC voltage (ripple) from the rectifier filter, when not filtered properly, can become a problem for components that are more sensitive
another reason is that cheap and bad psu can explode, either cause the heat isn't managed properly and the transformers get so hot they burn and short the primary, which results in a possible pc damage + all protections popping
NEVER cheap out on these units + be aware of what you buy, even corsair sells a terrible series which is the VS series (proves that even corsair, that makes great products, can make bad ones as well)
Also there is something called psu tiers look that up and it reccomends what count as psu tiers and get what fits with what they say this is generally the most important factor in psus
thank you so much for this advice now my intel Pentium and intel integrated graphics run amazing
Finally someone who gives good advice.
Thank, I cheaped out on PSU after this video.
Yes i agree on that because like the body of a human the power supply is the heart of the CPU
Had to learn that the hard way
A good website that rates power supplies is powersupplycultist. They actually look more in depth than just the 80 plus "rating" that is actually worthless when it comes to power supply quality
Bro's pikachu be running the fan the pikachu needs to be paid bro
for those who need a good cheap one but is just as good look up corsair 750We its rated gold and its only for 105 other ones tend to cost 100 more
I like the EVGA supernovas.
Most of the reasons listed are nice to haves rather than the main reason of damaging your components or worse, exploding
As a builder my self these are all facts
Not long ago I built a new PC, I learned from my past errors:
1 : Buy RAM with good quality
2 : Buy yourself a good air cooler
3 : Invest in Noctua or BeQuiet fans
Yo I'm getting a new PC well my very first PC and I didn't cheap out I need your opinion on my build I just don't want to make an expensive mistake

Love my Corsair power supply. Plus aftermarket world for cables are amazing. Corsair makes custom colors for their PSUs.
Best budget power supply? For 2024?
Thank you. But I’m need monitor first.
I know this video is meant to be general, but the 80 plus mark only rates efficiency, not the actual reliability of the power supply
There are 80 plus golds rates PSUs out there that will still go out of the ATX specifications on the rails way before their advertised power, and will potentially hurt or kill your components
Don't judge a power supply by the 80 plus mark
That starts to get more indicative when you go to platinums or diamonds rated PSUs, because it costs a lot of money to have that efficiency so statistically the rest of the power supply will be well built to
I tell people all the time when they bring me their builds to put together that cheap unknown chinese with no rating 850w PSU may have cost 39.99 but it will cost you your cpu or motherboard or both just spend the extra 70 to 80 and get at least 80+ bronze PSU. So now I always tell them to start their build with a solid Power supply and go from there with the other components.
Actually, eco mode doesn’t increase longevity, it decreases it. Eco mode will spin up the fan multiple times, and spin up is the largest source of wear on fans. Retaining motion is almost as little wear as off.
Ik there’s already other comments about this but i want this message to get out to as much people as possible. If you wanna look for a good psu, look at psu cultists (its a psu tier list that can be found on google). This list the most reliable in terms of finding out if your psu is good or not
it's a good advice but if your building a budget pc you can get a cheap one just not that cheap, also this is an add so don't get fooled easily
I like semi modular too it has the very necessary cable already installed but the rest isn’t there and is cheaper to
Depends on your budget, PSUs have gotten silly expensive lately. For most people doing a budget build a semi modular, bronze, 500W PSU from a reputable company with work just fine and cost a third of the price.
no such thing as reputable EVGA*. This is pretty poor advice. You have Corsair, which is considered “reputable”, pushing out notoriously bad PSUs namely the W1, N1 known for failing. Then you have thermaltake pushing out their Smart series which isnt great either.
A bit of research and looking at reviews is still required but it's still possible to find something on a budget for around £50 for most builds. The issue is that everyone seems to be pushing 850w 80+ gold for every average build even though they've doubled in price in the last couple of years and aren't a requirement.
radiator is installed wrong, The side of the radiator where the tubes connect should be at the bottom, and the pump should be mounted in a position where it is slightly lower than the top of the radiator, where air is captured
Find funny how people decide to cheap out on the power supply and that’s the thing that can catch fire the fastest. This thing that keeps your expensive computer running. It’s the thing that might blow up if it’s getting too much power drawn and can’t handle it screwed out.
