      That may be true but he didn't actively PROMOTE the corsair psu's until the end of the video other than showing them on the video. He spoke about the information in a general manner. So I'm personally fine with it.

      Funny enough I shopped around and initially went with a China off brand but the Corsair is cheaper and probably less boom potential

      THE psu guru on TH-cam quit making videos to better the industry and started working at Corsair, their PSUs have since reflected this.

    Is a thing that PSUs works the best they can when their W output is near the half of their max output range?

    • @ProjectMATHEW
      @ProjectMATHEW หลายเดือนก่อน

      Its a basic principles of electricity. You get max "power efficiency" for a laod equal to half of the output Wattage.
      Its a bit misleading because the overall efficiency from AC source to supply is always above 80% (thats the gold, platinum etc rating for 80+ efficiency) but i think that the "peak performance" is related to converted power delivered to the components and it will never be higher than 50% - this is because of one of the basic principle about load resistic matching internal resistance). there will be thermal efficiencies too as most power can be delivered to its desired source. Its complicated becasue AC and DC are quite different and also because electricy isnt really as simple as it seems due to real world problems (like material and imaginary numbers) that muddy up the models.
      In short yes, but it kinda won't matter a whole bunch if its not super exact, with modular supplies these days and gaming builds being pretty easy with reccomended power needs. As long as its reasonably close to half and you replace it before it fails it will in most cases be fine.

    • @Axelux99
      @Axelux99 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If you havent googled your question already here you go;
      Yeah man 600-700w is the requirement for 4070 super. It depends on the model whether it's recommended to have 700 or not (for example, the gigabyte gaming oc model recommends 700)

    • @Axelux99
      @Axelux99 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Just make sure your psu has 3 or more pcie cables
      Mine only has 2 pcie cables, one of them goes into my motherboard and the other has a 2 connector 6x2 pcie, but using the same cable split into 2 is not safe so I have to buy a new one because I can't power up my 4070 super with just 1 pcie (it was only 600w so I must've bought a new one anyway)

    How can I know when a PSU has cables pre-attached and I don't have to buy them separately?

    • @ProjectMATHEW
      @ProjectMATHEW หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It will not be "modular" - that will be more like the one shown in the video with the massive wad of cables coming out the back. Many of the plugs on these cables will go unused when building a PC, but you can't remove them without "damaging" your PSU.
      Most (I would nearly say all) good "modular" PCUs come with cables, or options to bundle cables in when purchasing though so it shouldn't be too much issue, it just kinda seems like the way things are going today (less waste, neater, potentially efficiency but like barely). If you are worried about missing a cable - try using a spreadsheet and matching up what cable a component will need and check it off when buying your "modular" PSU - this can be found by knowing what "port" the component plugs into on the motherboard (the motherboard also requires power so don't foget that too).

      There is a thing called sweet spot for the the maximal load percentage that it performs best in terms of noise & efficiency. When you are able to get that number, you save money in relation to buying what you exactly need and energy consumption savings.
