Full modular means you plug in only the cables you need to the power supply and it comes with a bag of those cables. Semi modular means all but a few essential cables can be unplugged. Typically the fixed cables are like atx 24 pin and your cpu power I believe (not 100% certain on which cables are non-detachable on semi-modular since I've never owned one)
fierce pivot
^theres no point paying extra for fully modular over semi as they are the same basically with just the 24pin atx and cpu power connected which you will need anyway

I just heard this and thought I should share
Segotep started selling a second version of the GP-G which is inferior, and no longer worth the asking price. Its protections aren't set properly (so it can't protect itself from overheating due to a lack of OTP and it won't shut down if you draw too much from it due to improperly set OCP.)
What this means practically is that the unit you're likely to get isn't the LLC resonant one, it's the DF one without OTP and with bad OCP. Contrast that to the CX550 which is $5 more, and you get a proper LLC resonant PSU with functional protections.
To quote them,
Segotep Power Supplies
A supplier of very budget power supplies have made their way into the western markets. Segotep offers a couple units such as the GP-G, GP-P, SG-G, etc. lineup of power supplies with some conflicting information between them and their product listings. The updated version of the unit SG-G only has CapXon capacitors on the primary side; however, there is a certification test multiple years apart that shows in all probability the double forward topology unit. In my advice, the older unit is no longer sold. I purchased a unit from Amazon and received the SG-700G from the 600W product listing with my tear down here: https://github.com/lQUBEXl/SegotepGP-SG-700G/blob/1f6b484df4be543c19b2c7bf3c41311438189c68/LICENSE.md/LICENSE.md
For very budget builds, I'm "okay" with putting this in a build; however, it's still on a platform (and then the capacitors are reduced in quality) that has OPP set above 150% of the unit rating and no OTP. If we're paying $400 for a GPU, please buy a unit with relevant protection features and third-party testing. I'd be glad to take a FE with a Leadex 3 instead of say a Apevia Prestige and some AIB.

Yeah unless you have really high power costs then bronze or gold will be more than enough

Tbh it's hardly noticeable
Like an extra 2%
elfin trout
@hazy forge hell, if you give me the specific psu models, I can look up the efficiency curve for you
Generally it's within 1%-2% from gold to plat
But specific models deviate even more
Tbh there are even cases where plat PSUs may be less efficient in general than some gold models xD
Since the rating takes different measurements at different loads
hazy forge
@elfin trout I wasn't looking at any specific models. Was just oging to go with a reputable 550-600w
Now another question, Would you buy an EVGA b-stock PSU?
elfin trout
@hazy forge Well, b-stock is basically refurb, so that's that. Good PSU wise, maybe a Phanteks amp 650w for 100$
hazy forge
Ok so thats another option for me didn't even know the brand phanteks
I guess ive heard it around, but didn't recognize it

Ooo also comes with a free powerlink adapter that will go with the 2070 super i just got
elfin trout
Ok so thats another option for me didn't even know the brand phanteks
First, don't judge off brand for PSUs, most PSUs on the market are just rebranded PSUs of one of the major OEMs
Like EVGA usually uses superflower or CWT, Phanteks amp is a Seasonic rebrand
hazy forge
Ohh. didn't know that. I thought most of the bigger names like EVGA, Seasonic, Corsair all were big enough to build their own
guess my assumption was incorrect
elfin trout
Second, GA is just decent, tier list is useful

Seasonic is a PSU OEM, they make most of their own, Corsair mainly uses CWT and Seasonic, a bit of everything
Tho Corsair does work with PSU OEMs to get custom platforms
So it's theirs... Somewhat
(for example, RMx and RM are modified CWT GPU, HXi and AXi are completely custom afaik)

Basically, doesn't matter until 850w+ where it makes a slight difference really

I am making a pc for my friend that will have an i7 11700(because of availability and the iGpu) now and a 3060 when available, and I wanted to know what psu I should get for it, he won't do any overclocking
elfin trout
(why not 11500 if just for iGPU?)
11700 power draw figure is annoying to find, only 11700k is readily avaliable
rancid helm
well with an 11500, what wattage power supply would you reccomend
rancid helm
would a 600 watt be sufficient, because I have an old one collecting dust
elfin trout
different bios has different power draw
What exact model?
The issue with an old model isn't the wattage, it's the quality and the not-blowing-up ability
rancid helm
it is not that and it was 80+ gold so, it would be perfectly reliable
elfin trout
uhhhh
80+ gold means nothing
p-gm is 80+ gold and literally blew up in testing
lotta things that go into a PSU, if you can give me a model, I can check it for ya
or try to find it on here if it's on here

oh, ok then, I don't know the exact psu model because it was from a pre-built so I think I will just get a new 650 watt to be safe
elfin trout
Phanteks amp 650w is a nice unit
Corsair CX or CX-f is good (NOT CX-m), Seasonic Focus plus GM is nice, core GM is good
those are usually 80-100$

Anything else for cheaper
brave plume
This thing, i'm sure it aint great at all though
Anything else
wanton briar
Nothing that isn't total trash afaik
wanton briar
I dont think it matters
brave plume
Wait how many will I need
wanton briar
Depends on how many GPU cables you have
brave plume
I want cpu gpu and and 24
wanton briar
then buy one of each...
brave plume
How many comes in the gpu
wanton briar
1
wanton briar
What connectors does your GPU have
wanton briar
I would wait to buy the GPU to get the GPU extensions then
brave plume
Ok thx

Should I get strimer plus
strimer plus has a better controller I believe, and brighter colors
you want a 24-pin for mobo, and if a 3090 a triple-8-pin for the gpu.
the controller only has two ports, one for gpu and one for mobo. You typically dont put strimers to the cpu
tawdry frost
Some of the 3090s only use dual 8pin
topaz robin
yes but you can get the triple-8-pin cable and pull out 8 of the pins
thats how I did mine
it takes a little fiddling but it looks like one solid cable
sand atlas
Some of the 3090s only use dual 8pin
You only really need a dual 8 pin, each one can handle over 200W+ easy plus the 75W from the slot. TDP is 350 on most cards.

Depends on how the power is distributed on the PCB tho too
Some of them aren't all tied together IIRC
sand atlas
I'm genuinely curious about the pinout on that at least now. I know a lot of the 8 pin is just ground.
opal night
There are still 3 voltage shunts present
Hi res board shot, you can see the back of the connector and what's hooked together https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-founders-edition/images/front_full.jpg
6 connectors total out of the 12 pin
SO it could still be feeding the VRM's individually

Hey, I'm trying to make an external power button for my pc or aka a custom power switch. I'm not sure how to do it. My pc is a dell precision tower 5810. Yes ik it's a prebuilt and I am not personally affected by this

You could probably just buy a power switch and from there do whatever you want with it

Yes but I'm struggling to find where I can plug it in. Is there a manual or something I can lookup?

There's the header that the default power button attached to, just 2 pins that send a short signal to power on. A simple button with 2 wires will work.

I'd like to later on get some cable extensions for my build. But just some colored ones. Even I think the RGB PSU cable extensions are silly.
zinc arch
There's cablemod, I believe they're one of the more if not most expensive options but they're also very premium. I'm not sure if I can remember the name of any of the other companies off the top of my head
unkempt abyss
Would someone be able to pinpoint which of these I should connect to to start my computer via an external power button

2 pins on the front panel header labeled pwr

So this area?

they even have a video for it
I mean at this point it's probably gonna act like a radiator for your system, even as a 1200w psu
considering it has a fan
lol

@distant torrent what CPU + GPU are you planning to use with it
distant torrent
159300h with a gtx 1650
chrome iris
a what now
distant torrent
Intel core i5-9300h

thats a laptop CPU
you dont need to buy a power supply for a laptop unless you lost your charging brick

OK

what 650 watt psu do you think is most likely to explode
