I bought a thermaltake toughpower 750 gold for my 3900x + 2080 super build. But then i read the reviews and the psu apparently 1. Comes dead in box 2. Dies after 6 - 18 months 3. Notorious for melting sata cables one at a time until you're left with none to support your sata drives 4. Fries hard drives and even motherboard. Now I'm thinking of going to the computer repair shop and getting them to test it for a while before i trust it with my expensive new build
if there are much reviews that say the same thing about it: DONT bother using it, you will regret it when you'r parts are dead. get you'r money back or buy a new one. 1 thing that you dont want is fried components because of a faulty PSU. How sad it may sound that you wasted money on a bad manufactured PSU, its better to spend another few bucks to get a reliable one and enjoy you'r pc a bit longer then 6 to 18 months ;)
Dude I literally just ordered this from Best Buy and as soon as I ordered it I’ve been having mixed emotions. First it’s not even compatible with my msi X570 and I’m putting a 3700x w a msi 2080 so I don’t want to fuck up my hardware. Glad I saw your goin thru the same thing I’ll definitely be returning it
"going to the computer repair shop and getting them to test it" You aren't going to find any computer repair shops with the right equipment and knowledge to do any tests that would need. Go check-out the article on Tom's Hardware about how they do their PSU reviews. We're talking tens-of-thousands of dollars in equipment on top of serious programming and electrical engineering skills.
My dad build a PC so I'm trying to top him he has a nice water cooler thought lol 😂 and I'm happy I saw your video Evga 80 good full modular. I have a lot to learn still omg I'm hungry for more knowledge, I have to control myself lol I realized I still have a life to live 😂
I spent $44.00 on a uncertified 600 watt ketchup and mustard PSU from Thermaltake. RMA at 5 years. Now in 2nd year of 2nd unit. 3 more years to a decade. 5 year warranty from known solid RMA is a good PSU plan.
I would never trust that with my electronics. No way in hell it's conditioning the power well, if at all. If it doesn't have a shit-ton of ripple and noise, let alone actually have an OTP, I'd be incredibly surprised.
Okay here's the thing... I haven't watched the Simpsons or Family Guy in over four years, but I'm 90% sure that Homer Simpson quote was actually a Peter Griffin Quote. Something along the lines of "A boat's a boat, but the mystery box could be anything...it could even be a boat, and you know how much we've been wanting a boat!"
In practice it's a non-concern unless you're talking some seriously specialized things that'll be drawing a lot of power from a particular rail. If for some reason you're going to connect two dozen power-hungry devices that all draw from the 12V rail, then you have to actually care. Pretty safe to say that no-one building a PC at home who isn't a serious techie (and I don't mean your average enthusiast) will need to think about this.
Absolutely unnecessary. You'll want to make sure you don't do anything stupid like buy an ITX PSU for an ATX board, and be sure that you'll have all the appropriate connectors. Beyond that, you'll be _far_ better-off doing research yourself for a good PSU.
The extended warranty from corsair on some of their models is a very nice bonus when compared to the other brands. I have the 2018 rm650x model which has 10 (TEN!) years of warranty. Bit more expensive then the cx650m, but very happy with it non the less.
This is not a great video. Connectors for example. 20 pin is pretty much non existent these days. It's a legacy hangover from the earliest days of the ATX standard. Any modern motherboard (even mini ITX) will need a 24 pin connector. Thankfully all good PSUs come with a 24 pin or a 20+4 connector. They only go into detail about PCIe connectors and don't even mention EPS. Yet every single modern motherboard will have as a bare minimum a 4 pin EPS (more likely 8 pin) and some even have an 8 and a 4 or two 8s. EPS connectors aren't the same as PCIe connectors and it is important you don't mix them up. You will blow the motherboard up if you force a PCIe connector in an EPS socket. Also someone did the efficiency cost savings of twice the wattage required. It's minimal at best (think it worked out at £6 a year in worst case - computer on 24/7 and under heavy load for the whole time). You need about 100w of headroom on max load. That is enough to maintain efficiency and keep temps down within the PSU itself.
she says budget...random image of a dude with money she says pc....random photo of a pc she says cpu...random photo of a cpu why you read a paragraph with barely related images in the background? this is not a video, this is someone reading, dont read for me please, show me in a more graphical way instead of random images barely related and then in the title the word simple as click bait.. this text(not a video) is helpful but not simple.

Yes we know lol
Your videos are so helpfull, you helped me so much with the proces of buying a gaming pc!!
You meant process
this video is meant for those who are building it for those who didn't understand the joke

twice the wattage is a good idea...

Peter Griffin is a very wise guy.
Thank you this vid helped me very much
When it has “simple” in the title: 😆♥️😆
Well done.
5:48 Bruh, that mobo is _ancient_
i'm sorry did i see a 1800 watt NON modular PSU in the video!?
Todd: 16 times the negative electrons !
thanks
I don't quite understand what PSU rails is all about.
In practice it's a non-concern unless you're talking some seriously specialized things that'll be drawing a lot of power from a particular rail. If for some reason you're going to connect two dozen power-hungry devices that all draw from the 12V rail, then you have to actually care.

How much watts would I need for ryzen 3600x and 1660 super
450/500 Watts
How much wattage for a rtx 2070 and a ryzen 5 3600?
Use a PSU calculator to find out for you system
I have an online specs for my mobo and it has a list of psu which are compatible with it. Is it necessary to follow it or its not that necessary?
Absolutely unnecessary. You'll want to make sure you don't do anything stupid like buy an ITX PSU for an ATX board, and be sure that you'll have all the appropriate connectors. Beyond that, you'll be _far_ better-off doing research yourself for a good PSU.
Are antec power supplies good
Guys what psu should I use for 2060 and ryzen 5 3600...is my 650 w is enough?
More than enough I'd say. The minimum is 550W.
can u tell me what psu i should get for gtx 1070 and ryzen 7 3700
@@rdoggydawg go with 700W bro
650 is more than enough.
What about ryzen 5 3600 and 1660 gtx
Is gigabyte power supply good?? As I'm gonna build ryzen 5 3600 with 1660 super so is gigabyte 450 80plus bronze enough??
Yea that’s enough but there isn’t a lot of breathing room but it will work if u wanna be sure go to a psu calculator website
Nice :)
Goddamn, the narrator has a slight Russian accent and I can't unhear it!
Water!! ....that's what power supplies hate more than heat...hahaa
What is the best cpu coller.for rayzen
intesla stock cooler
I have a corsair cx650m psu
Man, ur a next level god
That is the exact psu i will get
Ah, I See i am a Man of Culture As Well
The extended warranty from corsair on some of their models is a very nice bonus when compared to the other brands. I have the 2018 rm650x model which has 10 (TEN!) years of warranty. Bit more expensive then the cx650m, but very happy with it non the less.
is that overkill for $800 build?
IF SEYTEM TAKE 300W MAX LOAD BUY 500W PSU +200 = GOOD

It would help to understand better if the narrator spoke more slowly and actually paused for breath.
