It is Cooler Master we are talking about, so a pretty crappy PSU isn't unheard of lol.

I don't think I have ever seen any shielding. Just simple wires with insulation. I don't think It is needed given PSUs work fine without it...

There is no real way to see rma rates for each unit and amount of people claiming system damage. Amazon reviews? Don't even look at them. Most...

Well, he won't get a 3080 any time soon for a decent price. When the 3080 is coming back closer to normal (it will probably never go back to MSRP)...

Nice, thank you-this had me worried pretty bad. Just out of interest, is there risk of it damaging/melting the pcie out/port/connector on the PSU? I...

This combination shouldn't cause any problem.

Thanks, pal. It's been working the past few months.

I really want to give Seasonic a try but on most of their Amazon product pages, they have many bad reviews from users saying that not only did the...

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.
