where they rank PSU models by tiers

#

and as you can see, its tier D

#

second to lowest tier

crisp quest Sep 25, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

thats a rating

#

you said ratings dont matter

#

remember?

chrome iris Sep 25, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

when i said rating i meant efficiency rating

#

like 80+, 80+ bronze, 80+ gold, etc

its not the answer you want to hear man, but its whats true

#

sorry

@daring marsh TD 500 mesh white?
@chrome iris wdym

chrome iris Sep 25, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

@daring marsh for your case, look at the TD 500 mesh white

#

you wanted a white case right?

daring marsh Sep 26, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

yeah

#

k

#

both look good

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

@tender root simple answer when it comes to cases you buy them to already be stocked up with fans or you get a more bare bones case?

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

@unreal garden hm?

#

i think you tagged that one wrong

#

or missed a question mark

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:31 PM

#

@tender root question mark added

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:32 PM

#

ah, now it makes much more sense @unreal garden :)

#

its a question of budget and what kind of system is supposed to go in the case

#

take something like the define 7 compact

#

it comes with 2 fans

#

1 front, 1 back

#

IF you are doing a 2060-ish build with a 3600/3700? that is imo plenty

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

Yeah I was hoping to go for a basic midtower to house my 3700x with maybe a 2070 or who knows a 3070 down the road or something along those lines

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

admitted, i have a sweet spot for Fractal Design cases.

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

They look so nice especially the meshify ones for airflow

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:35 PM

#

so something like the afore mentioned compact or the meshify C (i think its called)

#

let me just check

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:35 PM

#

The afore is more compact?

#

Like mini?

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:35 PM

#

aye

#

slightly smaller

#

and there is also something like the Meshify C mini

#

I've seen a few builds for 3700x with a tiny case but they made it work well

#

Yeah see something like that is what I always had in mind

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:36 PM

#

keep in mind, the above is mATX mainboard size max

#

personally i have no problem with that

#

because you generally really dont use the pci-e slots for anything

#

heck, aside from my workstations, all my systems are ITX

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:37 PM

#

That one comes with a front and an exhaust fan too it looks like

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:37 PM

#

correct, 1 front, 1 back

#

just like the Define 7 compact

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:38 PM

#

That kinda airflow sufficient for most gaming computers? I see some cases stacked with like 4-7 120 mm fans

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:38 PM

#

so note however IF you go really long GPU (3080 Strix fx)

#

you are going to have a problem with clearance

#

it is "only" 315mm clearance for the GPU

#

which is still a BIG card

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

That's always a possibility down the road I guess

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

but some of them are longer

#

and there are plenty of cards in the 3080 class that will fist

#

its just something to be aware of :)

#

re: airflow: Imo? yes. its plenty

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

Right

#

Also when it comes to psu I see people having issues with the cases fitting them I thought they generally were the same size

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:40 PM

#

re: gazillion fans: generally, aside from being something to talk about, they dont actually do much

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:40 PM

#

So in general a front and a back fan are enough to keep the air moving through sufficiently

#

?

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:41 PM

#

as in, when you get to a certain point: the return on invesment is very small

#

depending on the case? yes

#

re: psu: elaborate if you remember details?

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

Would a fractal fit most psu's I didn't think they were that bulky

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

well, unless you get some silly big model? yes

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

Say your typical 750 watt psu I can't recall dimensions

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

175mm is a BIG psu

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

Is that common?

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

let me just grab some numbers

#

📎 unknown.png

#

this is from the spec sheet for the Phantek AMP

#

which is a VERY good psu

#

its about 110-120usd for the 650watt model

#

it is FAR from the 175mm

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

Okayy that's 140x150mm

#

Yeah that sounds reasonable

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

you can ofc find models that are big

#

but generally i would have to go out of my way to find something in the brands i normally work with

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

I think my psu coming in today it's a thermaltake gold 750w I just forgot to peep the dimensions before ordering it

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

look up the exact model name and just look on TT's site :)

#

your order confirmation should have it :)

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

📎 Screenshot_20200926-084826.png

#

150x160

#

Hmmm

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

aye 160mm

#

plenty of space still

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

Okay good I was afraid I was gonna find out it's too bulky and I'd need a special case lol

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

nah, dont worry

#

a lot of the people that run into trouble with psu's (i had to get my brain thinking back)

#

are also generally the ones that are "looks over practicality" in part selection

#

if that makes sense?

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

Lol

#

Yeah I think so

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

generally IF you pay attention, the info you need to prevent things not fitting IS available

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:52 PM

#

Right, which leads to another question about cpu pin connections

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:52 PM

#

ask away :)

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

I see people complaining about it only be 8 pin and the want more for their mobo

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

as long as you remember that there are no stupid questions, only silly answers

#

you can ask all you want :)

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

But then people say extra connectors on the psu are for extreme OC'ing and they would have no need to be doing that

#

Yanno what I'm taking about?

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

that complaint makes no logical sense UNLESS you have been reading feedback from some Overclocking maniacs

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

This psu has the standard 8 pin plug in I believe thats common for cpu on the motherboard right?

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

aye, thats the EPS connector

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

Right right

#

So for people who overclock like crazy what do they want like an 8+8?

#

Or how does that work

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

aye

#

they want as much juice as they can possible get

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

I get confused hearing about this stuff so basically they'd double their power going into the cpu?

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

aye

#

OC when you get to a certain point stops being "practical" and more "lets hope stuff does not blow up"

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

Yeah it seems alittle crazy

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

you can strike the "a little" part from that :)

#

because generally, machines are fast enough

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

Okay good so I'll be straight with my 8 pin

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

also, keep this in mind

#

dont ever OC something you cannot be without

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

Exactly if it's a high end cpu in the first place why would you overclock it even for gaming I don't think there'd be much of a need

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

well, depends on what you are trying to do

#

if you are chasing a high benchmark score? it makes sense

#

but 1-3 more frames are generally not going to make or break your gaming experience :)

#

(for the lurkers: yes, that is simplified a lot)

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

Lol

#

Cpu load during a high end game would generally stay low with a better cpu, right?

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

its a good question

#

that looks/sounds simple

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

I watched a YouTube video of a guy benchmarking a bunch of cpus and say a 3900x and a 3700x were only around 50%

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

but it has a complex answer

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:00 PM

#

The 3600 was still pulling good performance but was closer to 90%

#

That based on core usage?

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

its a case of "it depends"

#

aye, the 3600x is a 6core cpu

#

the 3700x is 8 core and the 3900 is a 12 core

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

Then their load percentage would be lower

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

yes

#

if JUST looking at the model names, it looks "bad"

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

So if you have one of those cpus doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of overclocking because you'd already be chillin with all those cores

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

but in reality the 3900 is basically 2 * 3600 in one cpu

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

Cuz it's double everything

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

aye

#

"So if you have one of those cpus doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of overclocking because you'd already be chillin with all those cores" <- for the regular consumer? i would say yes

#

BUT

#

make no mistake about it, OC'ing things can be fun as all heck :)

#

but generally for the regular build? its not worth it, prices of faster cpus are low enough that you dont need to

#

Plus, there is the automatic turbo/boost that happens on modern cpu's

#

they are generally running as fast as they can already

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

Oh good

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

(for the lurkers: yes, that is ALSO very simplified)

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

I'd be afraid to overclock anyway

#

Since we on the topic of cpus

#

The wraith cooler that comes with the 3700x has thermal paste pre applied

#

Is that sufficient

#

Some internet people be saying you should apply more but that seems excessive

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

aye

#

its plenty

#

some internet people also need a reality check

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

Or that you should remove the existing stuff cuz of bubbles but I'd think it'd be fine and smooth

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

when it is mounted, things will be just fine

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

Should their be a worry of it drying up?

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

unless you pull it out of the package and put it in the oven for a day or so? no

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

So when installing the cooler on the cpu I shouldn worry about adding any thermal paste cuz it's already taken care of?

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

aye

#

for the stock cooler that is

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

Right

#

Okay good

#

And I like that cooler it seems like it does the job from what I've seen

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

aye, its a solid enough cooler

#

the only downside to it, is noise

#

BUT

#

that is compared to coolers that cost 50usd and up

#

and the stock cooler is afterall free :)

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

Exactly

#

Not bad for being included

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

indeed

#

imo, there are more important things than the cooler to upgrade in a build

#

ofc, IF you have everything else, then yes, upgrade the cooler

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

I see alot of liquid coolers in builds

#

But that's out of my price range

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

its also overkill in a LOT of builds

#

a LOT of them are basically just light shows

#

and i find it rather ... silly .. to pay that amount for a lightshow

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

6 case fans and water coolers

#

Lol

#

Makes the price go up alot

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

if you go to #building-and-recc-chat and look at some of the builds people post

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

Half the 3700x builds on pcpartpicker I was seeing water coolers I was thinking dang I don't have that kinda money

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

you will see builds that have more money spent on coolers, fans and lights than the GPU

#

do you have a build list?

unreal garden Sep 26, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

Nothing set in stone I have my cpu I have my psu and I have two mobos in mind

#

The rest of the stuff still deciding

#

If it's a bit cheaper than the 30 series

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:35 PM

i would prefer if it was faster and the same or slightly more money

#

that would not hurt the competitive landscape at all

I'm curious

tender root Sep 26, 2020, 1:39 PM

a LOT of cases that are "known" to be "bad for thermals!!!!!" are perfectly fine

oh really i might cop the h510 then

proud steeple Sep 27, 2020, 7:13 PM

Yes I agree. I think most cases made by reputable companies won’t overheat any components. They need some form of usable airflow

because people are really bad at conveying what exactly they are going to use a case for, it is ALWAYS the safer bet to go with something that has good airflow

proud steeple Sep 27, 2020, 7:15 PM

I’m just not a fan of mesh.... idk why I just can’t get into the meshify c or p400a. I don’t mind the corsairs 4000d airflow but the front panel is just meh

Got a quick case question , does anyone recomend a decent mid or full tower case with at least 3-4 5.25" external drive bays if 3 I'll need a 3.5" external as well, these seem to be a dieing breed and the ones I've seen seem to be a bit flimsy, thanks!

Just wondering. Thinking of building a PC but can't decide what case to get

most likely going for mid tower

I’m looking into the 4000 series. Have only heard positive things so far

Yeah i was thinking of that too! But what bothers me is the 2 fans it comes with lol. Odd setup

proud steeple Sep 28, 2020, 7:09 PM

It’s mesh though, so while more would be nice it won’t need them really

#

I might pick up 3 icue fans for the front tho I’m not sure yet

scenic lance Sep 28, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

Just odd that they didn't include 3 already for the mesh one, like the tempered glass version

proud steeple Sep 28, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

Well the tempered glass one needs the extra fans, and that’s what you get for the extra money. But I would rather pay $85-90 for 3 included fans (non rgb)

eager monolith Sep 28, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

I'd warn you to check reviews if you go Corsair. I initially went for a flashy Corsair RGB case (Spec Omega), super cheap materials and poorly designed

#

They make good cases too, but always good to look at reviews first 🙂

proud steeple Sep 28, 2020, 7:13 PM

I’ve watched 5 or so on the 4000d airflow and havent seen any complaints but I agree always do your own research

@modest ginkgo Can't find much info on that model. Brand looks sketchy and they have some very low rated PSUs. What specs will it be running and what does he want to spend on it? I wouldn't risk it if he is putting decent parts in there

for a $600 build? That's a good portion of his budget

eager monolith Sep 28, 2020, 9:54 PM

One sec

#

I'd try to sell what you have. It's will probably get you a decent penny as it is high wattage, even if it's a crappy brand. Then you could used that to get something cheap but well rated, like this: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Certified-Refurbished/Power-Supplies/cx-series-config/p/CP-9020121-NA/RF

CX Series™ CX550 — 550 Watt 80 PLUS® Bronze Certified ATX PSU (NA) ...

CX Series™ power supply units provide 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency at a competitive price point featuring black cable sleeving and connectors and a thermally controlled 120mm fan.

#

Refurblished, but $50 for a b tier

I think that's a decent fit for your specs

What is a relatively cheap, but good quality 80+ gold psu, 750w and above?

Do what I do: go into PCPP, sort by price and set your min wattage, find the first PSU that is of an appropriate tier
( checkthepins ) for the specs

#

Is that reliable?

just take out the GPU, insert M.2, and then put GPU back in

I got the EVGA 2070 super FTW3 and it runs most 1440p games at ultra

#

Usually 100+ FPS

scenic lance Sep 30, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

Exactly

daring marsh Sep 30, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

if u want to only do 1080p

proud steeple Sep 30, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

But I am going to use step up for the 3070 or 3080 just to get the newer card

daring marsh Sep 30, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

i mean 1080

scenic lance Sep 30, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

You think 2000 series is gonna go down in price or just phased out

daring marsh Sep 30, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

honestly 1660 super is good enough

#

i mean some ppl r still gonna buy

#

so i think ill go down in price

scenic lance Sep 30, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

I’ll wait for it. 2060 super is more than enough for 1080p

daring marsh Sep 30, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

yea

scenic lance Sep 30, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

So RMx is in stock on Amazon

#

I’ll probably only need 650 watt with a 3600xt

tacit wren Sep 30, 2020, 10:27 PM

no real pc needs 1000w

#

Forky, Hedt would like a word with you

proud steeple Oct 1, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

lmaooo I got a 850w and thats considered more than you need for a 3080 but its still cutting it close

mellow agate Oct 1, 2020, 4:04 AM

#

Question: (gimme a sec to compile the info)

#

Intel Core i7 10700 2.90GHz (4.80GHz Turbo Boost), 8-Core 16-Thread

#

ASUS DUAL NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8GB EVO V2 OC Edition

#

ASUS TUF GAMING B460-PRO

#

SSD HD

#

and the power supply is 600W

#

80 Plus Gold

#

I was looking on some build sites and they are saying that this needs 550W, but would recommend 700W.

#

Is it still going to be OK to use a 600W PSU?

#

Like, would I need a bigger PSU if I was planning on overclocking this?

strong yacht Oct 1, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

You should be fine with 600w.

mellow agate Oct 1, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

Ok, thank you for that. Just wondering what the reason for a site to recommend 700W is. I am not savvy enough to understand I guess

strong yacht Oct 1, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

Yeah, you can go to newegg psu calculator too, and it says you should be alright as well

nova oar Oct 1, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

2060 is pretty low power and the 10700 is a locked chip

#

you're fine

#

although there is a 750w seasonic on amazon for 99

#

so there is that option

tender root Oct 1, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

@mellow agate long story short on the PSU recommendation number: Not all power supplies are made the same. The recommendation has to account for that.

mellow agate Oct 1, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

Oh ok, gotcha. Well it's a prebuilt off Newegg's site, so I was planning on trusting the prebuilt. I was just verifying before I purchased and ended up here asking that question.

tender root Oct 1, 2020, 4:28 AM

#

you certain you dont want to build it yourself instead @mellow agate ?

strong yacht Oct 1, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

Yeah, its definitely a good learning experince to learn to build it yourself

@unreal garden thanks. Wanted to get the mesh front version but they’re out of stock. Going to be a very simple build anyway, thermals shouldn’t be an issue

compact prawn Oct 1, 2020, 12:35 PM

#

i was actually looking at that exact same case, except pink to build one for my siser. it seems pretty nice, shame it doesnt come with any fans though

solemn pond Oct 1, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

Any recommendations for something similar to the Phanteks p500a? Mesh front panel and space for a 360mm aio up top are mainly what I'm looking for. I'd almost rather have no PSU shroud as well.

young osprey Oct 1, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

not sure about top radiator size, but Lian-li lancool 2 mesh

elfin trout Oct 1, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

@young osprey only 280mm top supported

#

@solemn pond td500 mesh is the only one I can think of. O11 maybe but that's a different style.

@compact prawn I just did a case swap from my thermaltake v200 and I stripped the fans and fan controller off it and tossed the case as it was damaged. I’ve got some other random fans laying around as well
