Activity Stream

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....

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.
