Instead of worrying about what's the normal price, I would try to look at what's on the market and look for the best deal at current time.

According to the Corsair website, the RM850x should be 149.90: ...

You would have to have a pretty crappy PSU for those capacitors to have any positive impact.

So Cooler Master is selling a marketing gimmick with this one? Good for them I guess. :p

Well, I agree that it no scam, but I have had the odd experience. I bought a PSU intending to use (TWO) AUX CPU and made sure the PSU had that...

LOL! Your 24-pin doesn't need capacitors. Talk about a scam.

Of course, you had to pick the most expensive kit to make your senseless point. Here's a tip: If you buy a second hand PSU, make sure you get all...

Oh yeah.. Think about it. You had multiple lot codes recalled. So you not only had to replace that inventory, but also produce additional units for...

Yes, it can happen if you buy second-hand. You may not get all the cables provided by default. Doesn't make modular PSUs a scam in any way. You...

An established reseller on the Amazon marketplace.

Only $300 over MSRP? How did you find such a bargain in today's market?

That makes sense for RMx (still disappointed tho), but they put 'discontinued' label on HX1200 selling page, not OOS label. You mean supply line is...

It's not only a unit with DC-DC on the secondary, it's also one that uses a modern LLC resonant converter design on the primary.

I suppose that's true, I measure from the wall, and even not taking efficiency into account, the draw is always much lower than outervision predicted...

PSU calculators are always way off. With ~445W you haven't found the first one that actually worked.

No just the one R9 290 :-) The CPU is i5 4460 though, I typed that wrong. The PSU calc I used thinks that the peak draw could be up to ~445w...

I thought your system only had one R9 290 and a i5 4590? Did I missed the second R9 290?

Thank you, I guess I'd need the 550 or 600w version for the system above. They seem inexpensive. Still curious about ATNG though, they appear to...

I didn't lookup the ATNG, but I'm sure this PSU is much better. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-400W-Power-Supply/dp/B0825KZX7T/

Apparently it's just a misunderstanding from their customer service. Comsvil knows RMx is not discontinued. They just choose not to stock it...

Yeah, the only thing I see odd is the use of a 16 core in a gaming rig. All indications are that 16 cores are only used for rendering, and high...

I recently bought my dad a gaming PC from OriginPC for the new MS Flight Simulator and he's very happy with it. You are going to pay more for a...

And it gets worse: https://news.yahoo.com/car-plants-shut-down-chips-104453078.html

No, not that familiar with Comstars and their products. Also I never saw their factory. I just had some contact with them when still working for my...

The be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 850W has a good price at Amazon at this moment....
