I asked for an article or link that may explain more about the situation. He gave me a youtube link from Tek Syndicate (link) featuring someone you...

Whaaaat? Wow!

That's because it doesn't cost any less to build a smaller PSU these days. Case and point, the actual cost of materials to make an RM750 vs. an...

Thank you! Are consumer power supplies at close to that wattage still being sold? I recall being able to buy smaller PSUs years ago, but it seems...

Corsair RM with a yellow label is really old (from 2013 till 2016), it shouldn't be available anywhere anymore. So the ones with black label is the...

One over-voltage is all it takes to destroy a capacitor Why?

Thank you, this meets every criteria, and better than I was really hoping for! Two questions: - Do you know if there is a difference between the...

But even when the PSU is off, it needs to be on battery power of the UPS, which should not be common. Still, I do switch off my computer entirely,...

It's already launched and available here. But yeah only a small efficiency difference, which you won't notice.

Thanks! Yes that's what I thought actually. But, after I saw in CES that Platinum Straight Power series will be available this year, will it be...

Straight Power 11 550W indeed, best option for your PC IMO.

Thank you very much for your reply and work.

The Corsair RM (non X, non I) is made to meet the low load efficiency requirements of the CEC (California Energy Commission).

Thanks for the suggestions. Overall price limit is $110 pre-tax, but I'd also be open to any $60-$80 suggestions. Don't want to chase efficiency too...

Hope mine looks that good when I finally get around to doing it.

Do you have a price limit? We could say for you to get a Seasonic Prime Titanium 650w(90.82% @ 10% load) or a Silverstone Strider Titanium...

Yes, that PSU is more than adequate to power the system.

I don't know about you, but I leave my PC plugged in when I am away; the test...

That report is limited to just a few types of two brands, a bit too limited, but it does show the problem. Jon pointed out in his post to LTT...

https://digilander.libero.it/hibone/UPS/PSU_and_UPS_Compatibility_Test_Report.pdf shows voltages up to 497V on the bulk capacitor Many PC power...

Absolutely. There's Nvidia workstations out there using the same PSU pulling a lot more power. This doesn't make sense.

Corsair AX1600i is perfect for your build, best you can buy actually. The Corsair AX1000 is only 1 years old. ;) Never heard anything about...

They both stopped working. Do you think 1600w is enough for 4x2080ti + 3970x? It seems like it would be operating way out of efficiency.

How have you "burned them out"? Did they just stop working, or.... ???? How do you figure?

Still got a vent fan? and what stops water just flowing under the door?
