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

Holy heck....It just never ends. I haven't been able to buy a AMD 5000 series CPU. I see APPLE has reserved 80% of TSMC for 2021 on 5nm ....so not...

Well that's a good thing, brand loyalty is stupid. :D

We need to know where you are from to recommend you the best deals.

Do you know any other PSU made by comstars? Thinking about it again there is no reason to get this PSU than to get Cooler Master's MWE Broznze V2...

That is not exactly true. I have had no problem finding Solid Gear units in stock :D

I will say, I can see the lack of brand loyalty in NPD data (sure, that's only the US, but it gives you an idea of what happens). You see EVGA go...

Yep. For example, I see over 1000 each of the SF600, SF750 in Almere. Most are still in China, though. Of course, not everyone gets their...

The SF750 is sold-out here in The Netherlands since November the first. Do you know if there is stock at Corsair Almere? All SFX PSU's from 650W...

Interesting, Xigmatek is using for this model Comstars. From what I saw Comstars was rather expensive but mediocre at best. The PSU shell is...

If it is a non-overclocked model you should be fine.

Okay. Would it work with an R9 280x? It also need an 8+6 pin. Other HW won't draw much power. Currently a 65w i3. I know its not a fantastic...

I don't disagree. And with power supplies, there's very little brand loyalty. Is it XXX wattage? Is it XXXX efficiency? Is it full modular? ...

That's a good way to loose a lot of potential consumers and therefore money. Especially if you have for example 9000 in stock, the order is 10000 but...

Well... I did learn a thing or two about allocation during this pandemic. Someone was complaining that there was no SF750 in stock anywhere. I...

Yes that's safe and it's also the only perfect way to fix it.

Without overclocking this config won't consume more than 350W.

Well other guy complained about it and they replied... "It is globally discontinued so we can't order new stock from HQ, oversea market is selling...

You pretty much outlined the difference right there. Otherwise the two units are two identical. Switching 12v OCP on (that's what the toggle for...

Except the Prime Ultra Platinum doesn't use DBB. It uses FDB. That's why I asked the questions I asked. I think the problem is the driver IC...

Ball bearings tend to get noisy.

Could be the fan they use, but I did run the PSU for a while about a year ago in standard mode (as opposed to hybrid) and it did not make the noise...

I have also wondered about this issue; how to choose a comparable fan (other than the exact same model). I guess one wants to match the RPM and...

You know, the problem might not be a "defective" fan, but the fan they use. Does it just make the fan at very low load/RPM?

So that just proved to be a big waste of time and money. Seasonic sent me back a replacement PSU that has a rattle-sounding fan that is just as loud...
