Hey Jason, how about this Deal & this Brand?? Any info/comment whether or not It's Worth Buying: AZZA PSAZ-850G ATX 3.0 850 W ATX / ATX (ATX 3.0 Compatible) 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply. Price: $99.99 $69.99 after $30.00 rebate. I'm currently running the 550 Watt Model in my 2nd PC, for over 1 year without any Issues.
Built a PC this past December after a few months of gathering parts and went with a Corsair RMe 1000 which is probably overkill for the 7800x3d/7900 xt combo. Was relieved to see it pretty well rated on the Cultists List you've referenced at least. Thanks for the content, too, watched and learned a lot from you in the run-up to building the PC and have been hooked on PC hardware content since
@PCBuilderChannel I ordered the Super Flower Leadex VII XG 1300W. Gold. Saw it as a tier on the psu cultist list. It was on sale for 189.99. Is this a good psu? Iyo
I bought a really well tested and reviewed PSU. It was one of the best rated 1200w ATX 3.0 PSU’s on the PSU Cultist List. Unfortunately, the cables are terrible. They have really hard plastic sleeves that run almost right up to the connectors. I almost all the cables are way longer than they need to be, with tons of redundant leads. I basically had to throw cable management out the window and just shove cables in any nook and cranny I could find. If I had it to do over again, I’d buy a Seasonic/Phanteks, Corsair, Asus or EVGA. These are the only makers that seem to have readily available aftermarket cable replacements. Otherwise you’ll have to custom order or fab your own if the cable included don’t fit your case or fail.
@@alexb.1320 Even on a larger case a lot of these issues would remain. For example, all the connectors are right up against a very stiff vinyl sleeve that is almost 3” long. So all the returns have to protrude out about 4-5” before routing to the back of the case. If you used extensions you’d probably have an unruly amount of cable length behind the case. It’s honestly kind of shocking that the designers clearly never tried to build a PC with the provided cable before signing off on the design, the cables are objectively a poor design. The crazy thing is that everybody just accepts the lie that PSU makers won’t adopt a cable standard to “protect consumers from damaging their components”. It’s really just engineered obsolescence. If a cable fails or gets lost, then you need a whole new PSU. There’s already a standard for the component side. No reason not to do the same on the PSU side. An 8,6, or 4 pin CPU connector won’t physically fit an 8,6, or 4 pin GPU connector. If they all used the same connections consumers would have a million affordable options for cables. Right now, expensive bespoke cables from Cable Mod are the only option besides the DIY route.
@@sengan2475 it was the NZXT C1200 I ended up replacing it with a Seasonic Focus 1000w PSU. Such an improvement cables are so important, and often overlooked by even the best reviewers because they do most of their testing on a test bench.
As I understood the Cultist list, the difference between A-tir and B-tir is that A-tir has thermal protection. And that's why power supplies are 50 euros more expensive in the A tier. If the air intake in the power supply is separate from the space where your processor and graphics card are(for example, your power supply is on the lower part of the case and sucks air from the outside), then you can freely buy a B-tier. Because the temperature of the processor and graphics card will not affect the temperature of the power supply.
noise levels is something i truly care about.. My PSU has been sounding like a jet engine. Small distinct high frequency sine wave sound (pretty loud) that also annoy and makes me tire out easily when working. Temps are always good to think about, but i care more about my mental right now hah! So A-tier it is.
@@senectarius9685 i went for the NZXT C1000 (2024 revision) for my used 4090 build. Its got pretty stiff power cables which is a little wack, but the noise and cooling is top notch. Haven’t had any issues for the past 2 months.
I swear, every time I'm in the market for a component, you have a video on it that week. The concise, easy-to-understand, and up-to-date information is always appreciated! Thank you so much!
I would also recommend looking at reviews at hardware busters for power supplys. This guy used to do the power supply reviews for tech power up. He is held in high regard in the tech community.
When it comes to PSUs. I always go with SeaSonic. That warranty they offer is amazing, and other brands use their units, like Corsair. And I always make sure my power requirements, are at 50% to 60% of the PSUs make power. Because I've been told that PSUs are most efficient in that range of their power.
The DeepCool PN-M and PN-D power supplies are coming with ATX 3.1 compatible. The PX-G and PX-P units are A tier and are ATX 3.0 compliant at a great price!
@rodiculous9464 not exactly true given common advice is to try to size ur psu to only run about 2/3s of its max output so as to not run it flat out all the time... leave some headroom if you will
You make a lot of great videos. But this one really educates people who do not know. And this is one of the most if not the most important part to a pc. Thank you Jason again for these.
this video came out at just the right time!! slowly ordering all my parts for my first ever gaming pc and the PSU is one of the few parts I haven’t fully decided on yet
@@MrAnimescrazy I’ve got the RTX 4070 and an i5-13400f, 16gb RAM from Corsair and will be ordering a b760 mobo next. Really only deciding on the PSU, SSD and monitor right now
You can pretty much have one answer: buy a seasonic of the right size. It may cost more, but a good PSU will last you through several MB/Videocards/CPUs. A bad PSU will risk killing them. You are better getting a GOOD PSU and spending money on it because it is one component that longterm can pay for itself. A good PSU, a good case? You can reuse for a LONG time.
Hey dude if you could help me out really quick, do I buy the Seasonic Focus V3 GX-850 or the MSI MAG A850GL PCIE 5. Just your personal opinion I can’t decide myself
The MSI MAG A750GL is not on the PSU cultist tier list like stated in the video. The one that is in the speculative section of Tier A is the MSI MPG A-G series.
Here's an important bit of information for those that don't read the manual. You'll often get a PCI-E power cable that has 2 x 8-pin connectors on it (as well as another with a single 8-pin connector). This DOES NOT mean you use just this cable for a GPU that has 2 x 8-pin ports. You will often need to balance the load across two 12V rails (check the PSU manual!!). In other words, use two cables. The extra 8-pin connector on the single cable is for when a GPU has 3 x 8-pin ports in which case you use that cable and the one with the single 8-pin connector. Although the card will look to be working 90% of the time with just the single cable, you will encounter problems.
Jason, going along with a video 5 days ago and a question about cleaning your PC; My area is very dry, so we use humidifiers inside the house. These are the ultrasonic humidifiers and as a result of the hard water in the area, they leave a residue of calcium and magnesium all over the house and in my PC. Do you know of or have any concerns about this kind of build up of minerals being any worse than regular dust for a PC?
L M A O is crazy that you would upload this and put the link to that PSU tier list! Not because it's wrong, it's just funny. I had been researching stuff to build my gf her first PC with what I could find and within her given budget (out country laws and economy isn't great, also not good for availability) and found through several posts that PSU tier list which was already a year old but I thought it would do. One of the Tier C (I feel that is good enough considering with what we deal here generally PLUS the electricity as a whole which is whack) was affordable enough and I was like "Oh! Look I found something quite good that won't break your bank!" (in fact at around the same price there's a Cougar GEC 750 as well, new) using that list, only to find that my current PSU is F tier replace immediately, lol! I've been finding stores that sell used stuff, so I am planning in 1 or 2 weeks, if possible doing an upgrade with used parts if I can, get a 6600 XT (going from an RX 580 I think that is completely fine, especially it's 70 dollars less than the used 6700 XT which was my initial aim and I also am on 1080p so the 6700XT might not be a need), an AsRock Steel Legend B450 and the main topic of this video, a Seasonic Focus GM 750 or an XPG Core Reactor 850, which looking at it again right now is 10 dollars less. I guess I put in the Seasonic because is a brand I've heard on TechTube the most and not as much for XPG, despite the tier list. All that said, my current Ttake SmartRGB is there because out of the 3 PSU I could buy at the time, to replace my old Ttake NR2 which unbeknownst to me, it was an open box purchase that lasted 8 years+! with HEAVY use, heat, dust and shotty electricity. It only made sense for me to go with the same brand again. Needless to say that it's been around 3 years now, maybe? And I haven't had any issues. In fact I bought a new case and an AK400 Zero Dark from DeepCool, the processor and RAM are OCd right now to 4.1Ghz@1.3v and 3200MhzCl16 @ 1.35v and it's stable to the best of my knowledge on OCCT and cinebench + games I play. That said, like I said I have a 580 so it doesn't draw much power, and thinking on upgrading the PSU, I thought why not spend a bit more and switch also the PSU just in case and the MoBo so I can later add an M.2 and maybe at some point next month upgrade to a 5600-5700 if possible (currently have a 2600). So all in all, it is clear that PSUs sometimes despite the brands and quality build is a coin flip, with better quality/brands having much less % of bad things happening, even if it could. Thankfully I've never had bad experiences with these, but I also never mismatched components or overloaded the system with components that exceeded the potency of the PSU in use. Amazing video! Very well put together, explained everything and it's great information easy enough to digest. Thank you!
Alternatives to the MSI and Apevia depending on your market: Cougar GECs and Corsair CVs (650 and 750) are also C tier or better, so if the prices of those aren't insane, those are good choices too, according to PSU Tier List.
@@MrAnimescrazy Well, we hovered the idea of a 5600G (or 5700G if she wanted to stretch out) and an overall mid quality build so she could be up and running due to GPU prices being literally insane for bad performance (1650s and the likes are the most affordable which is stupid because it'd be wasting too much money for something barely usable in general). We did more searching and we landed on the idea of an i3 12100F and a low GPU which was good enough for her (16Gbs ram @ 3200Mhz on both occasions). I spoke to her and decided that if I buy used parts and they don't steal my money, I could send her my PSU and GPU (580) which would be good enough and better than anything she could afford new right now. And then maybe eventually in the future if needed she can buy one of those things but gives her time to get the money for it.
Man, i hope they keep on testing more PSU and update the PSU Cultist list, there are some PSU which are cheap but couldnt find it in their listing, making doubt of buying them in the first place
I bought a thermaltake bronze psu 12 years ago that lasted me until now, still going strong. Building a new pc hoping I can get something as reliable as that.
Yes! Lots more good PSUs out there, this is just a list of the most competitive priced ones at the US market at time of filming. But I'll keep the links in the description updated as prices change
Good video as always. The ADATA XPG Core Reactor II 850W and 1000W GPUs also seems like really good options due to their $99 and $129 Prices and 10 Year Warranties.
Doing a entry busget build for my sister this summer and your videos always come in clutch and refresh me on all the good deals and current market standings of parts - thank you a ton - keep it up!
Which one is best for this setup? Corsair | RMe 1000W vs MSI MPG A1000G Case: Small m-atx case aquarium Mobo: AsRock a620m-HDV/M.2+ CPU: AMD Ryzen 7800x3d GPU: Nvidia RTX 4080 super Ram: Kingston Fury 2x8gb ddr5 5400mhz (going to 2x32 ddr5 6000mhz) Storage: 1tb Nvme2.0 + 1tb hd sata + 120gb ssd sata Others: 5x120mm fans in the case
Love my corsair rm850e. People will tell scary stories about a noisy fan. I game for hours in silence. I have the rm850x too. only difference is a bigger fan and japanese caps and no 12vhpwr type 4 cable for my gpu. I havent noticed any performance issues from the more compact design of the E series and it included the cable my gpu needed.
I have ordered the corsair rm850x too with my rtx 4080 super ryzen 7 build, can you tell me if the rm850x is loud or has any other issues if any youve experienced?
I'll stick with Corsair. My wife's pc is powered by a 11 year old AX760i pushing a 3800x/ 3080. My son's pc has an old tx750 still going with my old 1080ti. I'm running an RM 1000x for a few years now. No issues ever..
When I bought my 7900xtx nitro+ I wasnt sure if my Seasonic 850W PSU would fit because it only had 2 8-pin GPU power connectors with a 6+2- pin connector attached to each 8 pin cable, so the 3 8-pin slots were powered by basically 2 cables only. I contacted Seasonic and they recommended to get a unit with 3 8-pin connectors. I still took a shot (trusting Seasonics quality) and my pc shut down the moment I loaded up Cyberpunk 2077 :) . For the time being I undervolted the 7900xtx just so I could use my PSU and I ordered a new unit (power cables ran fairly warm, so this is not recommended!, but I have excellent air flow in my Fractal torrent). This time it was the Corsair RM1000x with 3 seperate 8-pin cables and it works totally fine. I heard the X- version has no fan issues so I went for that one instead of the E- version. And my unit is silent and works perfectly even on the highest power draws I can pull off. Always invest in a good and proper PSU. Id even say the PSU is the most important PC part.
There are Thermaltake, corsair, deepcool, phanteks, asus, gigabyte, msi, super flower, cooler master, silverstone, antec, seasonic. They all have white power supplies.
Just picked up a Corsair SF1000L to replace a Cooler Master 750w unit. My 6950XT was giving coil whine with the 750w, but is quiet with the 1000w. Got the 1000w SFX PSU for $110 on sale. It comes with the ATX bracket, so works fine in my O11 Vision. Just budget some extensions if you go this route, as SFX cables are short. Good job kn the breakdown of PSUs. Everyone should see this
MSI psu weights 1/3 more than corsair 3kg vs 2kg... wtf ... more weight, more quality in electronics and sound systems... it has always been said... Just bought the MSI psu (same manufacturer as corsair), It may be a little better or worse... but it will last many more years... ... thx 4 video
I really love your guides!!! Easy to understand, and you cover it all - keep up the good work 😍🙏🏼 and give the cats a ekstra hug/kiss for good work on editation they do on your videos 😅
Hi . Asrock Live Mixer + Ryzen 8700F + 7700 XT + 2*16gb cl 30 Which power supply do you recommend? Seasonic has always been perfect for me. G12 850W 85 dollar /// Focus 750 95 dollar ? Enermax REVOLUTION D.F. X850 102 dollar? MSI Mag here 110 dollar /// Pure power 125 dollar.... Maybe another manufacturer at a similar price? Thank you very much for your help
Ty jason for the vids! I come back to your older guides so I could remember some of the knowledge you share. Now I could come back to this one for PSUs. Thanks so much
This channel has been invaluable! I'm new to building, and I had felt extremely overwhelmed in trying to research what I should pair with what. I found this and BOOM! Piece👏of👏mind👏 I'm so thankful for all of your recommendations. The PCU was the final piece to my budget build and I was skeptical of my MSI MAG A550 selection and once again as in every single video you just have great info and I feel confident in what I have put together. Big big thank you!!
That Apevia Prestige 600 watt sitting on top of your stack on the right is the one I just bought on Amazon for 51.99! Supposed to be here today for my Marketplace PC.
Thank you for letting me know about this one. I hadn't seen the reviews on it and it seems they copied Thermaltake's design but also improved it and made it cheaper. A little noisy under heavy load but otherwise very recommendable unit.
@PCBuilderChannel it has a quiet mode mine is supper quiet but I also not running heavy system just bought it for the price at the time compared to 750w for 30 more why not the 1000w
Last week, I just bought a MSI MAG A850GL for my future gaming rig, Right now im using 6700XT + r7 5700X, I love do OC or UC Also Modular cable helps me to manage some cable to be Clean and tidy! So i dont need to Do cable management, Not like my old PSU 650BN 😢its pretty Messy and Hard to manage it.
After 8 years i still have LC power 600w office edition, that i got for 30$. Had Gtx1060, 1660 super and for last 3 years rtx 3060. Even people in shops didn't recomend it, and experts on forums. But many people bought it, and it has been better than other cheap PSUs here in Eastern Europe (Serbia) like Raidmax and similar..
Thanks PC Builder... Kept me from making a bad purchase from a SI after referencing the PSU Cultist List. They seem to only offer lower-tier PSU's for their $2000.00 plus custom build component selections.
It's Thursday, July 25, 2024 I chose several older EVGA 1300 Watt Power supply models all three have appropriately labeled PCI-e / VGA cables and without pigtails. Forced to buy additional extention kits or modded replacements for pigtailed PCI-e/GPU cables costing in excess of $100- for a partial or complete replacement kit, while not directly naming power supply manufacturers, I will always choose to be a frugal and use that savings towards other components.
Snagged a super flower 1000w titanium last year for $239 USD, I think, for my main rig before it shot back up past $300. It had all the new new standards attached. Moral of the story is watch that favorites list on PC Part Picker and the market like a Hawk lol
I would agree with comments about the Corsair RMe ATX 3.0 fans. I have the RM1000e and the fan constantly stop/starts with a 'soft buzz' noise even at idle! Not recommended as the could be distracting for you. Further to this I have rotated the PSU (fan up) and placed a fan directly above as an assist. I'm sure the PSU fan starts but I can't hear it.
Man, I wish i had this video a little earlier! I recently bought a new PSU for my build to acommodate a future RX 6700 XT. Using that calculation trick i saw that I needed around the same amount of watts that the PSU provided. I mean, it'll still do the job but if I had known better, I would have held off and bought an even better one.
hot tip - the corsair is the better psu because it has a longer 600w GPU cable. The GPU cable in the Thermaltake is VERY SHORT. Did not work in a meshroom S.
great video, getting back into tech after being too busy to put my brain to it, feels great to get back upto speed on the terminology and jog the memory, and that hasnt been upgraded since 2010
I got the be quiet pure power 12M. 1000W. Got it on a sale that made it as cheap as any other 850W. It taught me to hate 6+2 connecters, but it's doing well otherwise.
Apevia ATX-GX850W so far a year later is still working fine and for 3 months i had it in the garage so it ran hot and never gave out Pc has ryzen 5700x Rx 7900 xt Definitely recommend for $69 and semi modular black out cables look great since i dont like extensions
The important thing to keep in mind with PSUs is that a name brand doesn't guarantee that of their PSU models are the same quality, as most of the brands source their PSUs from multiple OEMs, of which there are only 3 or 4 truly good ones. Looking at the Cultist's list, you'll see brands that have A-rated PSUs also have low-rated or even garbage PSUs. Thermaltake is a good example of this; they have a few gold-highlighted A-Tier units (two of which are sourced from CWT, one of the best PSU OEMs), but they have plenty in the trash end of the list as well.
I’ve watched like 3 or 4 ur vids for picking pc parts and I really appreciate all the effort u put in finding good prices and keeping them updated as well, you earned the subscribe 😄
Great Video Jason it's been awhile since I built a PC but with your vids I am getting back up to speed. I am not sure what cpu/gpu cpu/gpu but thx to your videos I am getting back up to speed. I am leaning hard towards AMD for both. Thank you for all you and Sarah do and the kitties!
I want to buy a psu this Black Friday, anticipating getting the 5090. Would all of the top tier ones you recommended here have the cables needed for the 5090?
I got an hx1000i and regret not getting a super flower, woulda been much cheaper but i just went with the “safe” pick since its my first high end pc. Either way should be fine for a 7800x3d and 4080 super *knock on wood*
Hi..My name is ROB...😂 Jokes aside, I really enjoy your videos and content. They are super informative and helpful for us pc builders and gamers.

Thanks so much Rob! Love to hear how much you're enjoying the channel. And that sounds frustrating, glad to hear you feel better equipped! Thanks for watching :)
Maan, I'm planning to buy 80 gold PSU, but the question is can I use additional stabilizer again? Someone said do not use additional stabilizer for the full range PSU because it can destroy the PSU/ stabilizer itself because it will be a double AVR/ Stabilizer, AVR/stabilizer from the PSU and stabilizer it self. Thanks man. Great video anyway.
enermax all the way been using enermax psus for years never had one of them fail im running a ryzen 7 5800x 81gb ram artic am4 cpu cooler with a radeon rx 7600 xt 16gb 6 case fans and a wifi card everything stable
To make is simple just buy the ROG Thor P2, a Corsair HXi, or seasonic prime and at 1000w. Those are the best PSUs, and nobody really needs more than 1000w TBH, and it leaves you room to grow. Betweem the prime and thor, go with whichever you prefer or has the better deal. The ROG Thor is basically a rebranded Prime with an OLED wattage readout. This is only if you want the very BEST PSU. Cheaper ones can still be fine. Many come with 5 to 10 year warranties, so might as well go a bit oversized. Definitely no more than 1200w, though. IDK why they make PSUs above that. I don't exceed or even hit 1000w with an OC 4090, 14900ks, 96gb DDR5-6600, and 10tb of storage across 3 high speed Nvme drive, plus a bunch of fans and rgb. You'd need to start getting into mobos running a 4090/7900xtx, and dual workstation CPU configs to go above that. Even an 850w PSU would cover like 99% of builds.
I also wonder why no Seasonic PSU on your recommendation. The latest Seasonic Focus GX ATX3.0/PCI-E 5.0 and vertex comes with individually sleeved cables ssving money from buyin cable extension for the looks and comes with a 10 yr warranty. I think Corsair RMe models doesn't use Japanese capacitors, would this be a deciding factor over other PSU that uses one?
I recently bought a used PC for $400. It came with a 5800X3D, 2060 6GB, 16GB RAM, and a Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 750W 140mm fan PSU. PSU cultist doesn't really specify this unit, but it does have the 850W variant on the A tier list. Please advise? Edit: PSU Cultist
Hi, I got a couple of questions regarding the sponsor: - are those keys global? I live in Europe, I know some game codes are region-restricted. - if I buy a Windows 10 key, can I upgrade it later to Windows 11, or should I buy the Windows 11 key in the first place? Many thanks for the answers!
So what shall I buy for the Pro Art z790, i9 14900k, pro art 4080 super? Getting tired of all these new bullshit standarts, to be honest. Would have gone for a corsair hx1200i, because I want a silent supply where the radiatior ist not going all the time, but Ive heard its missing some of the current cables...
I have the Be Quiet Pure Power 12M 850 Watts. It's a nice PSU but the cables aren't great. Aside from the motherboard cable, none of them are braided. It also seems like the PCI-E cables are also kind of short. The PSU unit itself is great, certainly high quality and the price is quite good. You can buy this unit but you may need to also buy some extensions for the cables.

(Haven't watched th video yet)@@SkyLiink
@@senectarius9685 i went for the NZXT C1000 (2024 revision) for my used 4090 build.
Its got pretty stiff power cables which is a little wack, but the noise and cooling is top notch. Haven’t had any issues for the past 2 months.
@SkyLiink thank you for the fast reply :)!
I will check this one out
I swear, every time I'm in the market for a component, you have a video on it that week. The concise, easy-to-understand, and up-to-date information is always appreciated!
Thank you so much!
Love it when the timing is good! So glad we could help!
I would also recommend looking at reviews at hardware busters for power supplys. This guy used to do the power supply reviews for tech power up. He is held in high regard in the tech community.
Good tip!
When it comes to PSUs. I always go with SeaSonic. That warranty they offer is amazing, and other brands use their units, like Corsair.
And I always make sure my power requirements, are at 50% to 60% of the PSUs make power. Because I've been told that PSUs are most efficient in that range of their power.
The DeepCool PN-M and PN-D power supplies are coming with ATX 3.1 compatible.
The PX-G and PX-P units are A tier and are ATX 3.0 compliant at a great price!
I bought a 1000w PSU a few years ago, knowing I would be upgrading to a power hungry GPU one day. Glad I did!
Thinking ahead!
What are your specs?
You'd need a 4090 with some kind of OCd intel cpu to need that much power
@rodiculous9464 not exactly true given common advice is to try to size ur psu to only run about 2/3s of its max output so as to not run it flat out all the time... leave some headroom if you will
@@gizmo104drives7you'll have plenty headroom even with a 4090 if you're using a ryzen cpu, no need for 1000w psu lol.
You make a lot of great videos. But this one really educates people who do not know. And this is one of the most if not the most important part to a pc. Thank you Jason again for these.
So glad they are helpful! Thanks for the feedback it means a lot
this video came out at just the right time!! slowly ordering all my parts for my first ever gaming pc and the PSU is one of the few parts I haven’t fully decided on yet
Love it when the timing is good!

Same here. I just ordered a white nxtz h9, I'm stuck on which motherboard and cpu to get to match a 4080 oc.

@@prfinest07 are you leaning towards AMD oder Intel?
I was literally looking at a new psu last night and then wake up to see this video, great timing
Love it when we get the timing right!
You can pretty much have one answer: buy a seasonic of the right size. It may cost more, but a good PSU will last you through several MB/Videocards/CPUs. A bad PSU will risk killing them. You are better getting a GOOD PSU and spending money on it because it is one component that longterm can pay for itself. A good PSU, a good case? You can reuse for a LONG time.
Hey dude if you could help me out really quick, do I buy the Seasonic Focus V3 GX-850 or the MSI MAG A850GL PCIE 5. Just your personal opinion I can’t decide myself
@@ghollz8488 Maybe others are different, but I gave up on the MSI PSUs, we had a run of a few that did not work correctly. But YMMV
@@ghollz8488 We have had good luck with the Asus and Lian Li so far, though.
The MSI MAG A750GL is not on the PSU cultist tier list like stated in the video. The one that is in the speculative section of Tier A is the MSI MPG A-G series.
This is what I'm wondering about. He says he recommends this one but I'm looking at either this or the Corsair RM850x.

Here's an important bit of information for those that don't read the manual.
You'll often get a PCI-E power cable that has 2 x 8-pin connectors on it (as well as another with a single 8-pin connector). This DOES NOT mean you use just this cable for a GPU that has 2 x 8-pin ports. You will often need to balance the load across two 12V rails (check the PSU manual!!). In other words, use two cables. The extra 8-pin connector on the single cable is for when a GPU has 3 x 8-pin ports in which case you use that cable and the one with the single 8-pin connector. Although the card will look to be working 90% of the time with just the single cable, you will encounter problems.
Jason, going along with a video 5 days ago and a question about cleaning your PC; My area is very dry, so we use humidifiers inside the house. These are the ultrasonic humidifiers and as a result of the hard water in the area, they leave a residue of calcium and magnesium all over the house and in my PC. Do you know of or have any concerns about this kind of build up of minerals being any worse than regular dust for a PC?
That is a very good question. I would guess that it can be a problem but look up information on youtube etc. to find out.
I don't know about this personally sorry! Interesting question. Let me know if you find out!
You read my mind brother. I was just wondering if you were going to do a 2024 PSU video. Thank you.
We got you!! Hope you are having a great weekend Savage!
L M A O is crazy that you would upload this and put the link to that PSU tier list! Not because it's wrong, it's just funny. I had been researching stuff to build my gf her first PC with what I could find and within her given budget (out country laws and economy isn't great, also not good for availability) and found through several posts that PSU tier list which was already a year old but I thought it would do. One of the Tier C (I feel that is good enough considering with what we deal here generally PLUS the electricity as a whole which is whack) was affordable enough and I was like "Oh! Look I found something quite good that won't break your bank!" (in fact at around the same price there's a Cougar GEC 750 as well, new) using that list, only to find that my current PSU is F tier replace immediately, lol!
I've been finding stores that sell used stuff, so I am planning in 1 or 2 weeks, if possible doing an upgrade with used parts if I can, get a 6600 XT (going from an RX 580 I think that is completely fine, especially it's 70 dollars less than the used 6700 XT which was my initial aim and I also am on 1080p so the 6700XT might not be a need), an AsRock Steel Legend B450 and the main topic of this video, a Seasonic Focus GM 750 or an XPG Core Reactor 850, which looking at it again right now is 10 dollars less. I guess I put in the Seasonic because is a brand I've heard on TechTube the most and not as much for XPG, despite the tier list.
All that said, my current Ttake SmartRGB is there because out of the 3 PSU I could buy at the time, to replace my old Ttake NR2 which unbeknownst to me, it was an open box purchase that lasted 8 years+! with HEAVY use, heat, dust and shotty electricity. It only made sense for me to go with the same brand again. Needless to say that it's been around 3 years now, maybe? And I haven't had any issues. In fact I bought a new case and an AK400 Zero Dark from DeepCool, the processor and RAM are OCd right now to 4.1Ghz@1.3v and 3200MhzCl16 @ 1.35v and it's stable to the best of my knowledge on OCCT and cinebench + games I play. That said, like I said I have a 580 so it doesn't draw much power, and thinking on upgrading the PSU, I thought why not spend a bit more and switch also the PSU just in case and the MoBo so I can later add an M.2 and maybe at some point next month upgrade to a 5600-5700 if possible (currently have a 2600).
So all in all, it is clear that PSUs sometimes despite the brands and quality build is a coin flip, with better quality/brands having much less % of bad things happening, even if it could. Thankfully I've never had bad experiences with these, but I also never mismatched components or overloaded the system with components that exceeded the potency of the PSU in use.
Amazing video! Very well put together, explained everything and it's great information easy enough to digest. Thank you!
Alternatives to the MSI and Apevia depending on your market: Cougar GECs and Corsair CVs (650 and 750) are also C tier or better, so if the prices of those aren't insane, those are good choices too, according to PSU Tier List.
What will be your gf's specs for her pc?
So glad we can help!
@@MrAnimescrazy Well, we hovered the idea of a 5600G (or 5700G if she wanted to stretch out) and an overall mid quality build so she could be up and running due to GPU prices being literally insane for bad performance (1650s and the likes are the most affordable which is stupid because it'd be wasting too much money for something barely usable in general).
We did more searching and we landed on the idea of an i3 12100F and a low GPU which was good enough for her (16Gbs ram @ 3200Mhz on both occasions). I spoke to her and decided that if I buy used parts and they don't steal my money, I could send her my PSU and GPU (580) which would be good enough and better than anything she could afford new right now. And then maybe eventually in the future if needed she can buy one of those things but gives her time to get the money for it.
What about UPS? Please make a video about the best UPS to protect my PC from power cuts and surges.
Man, i hope they keep on testing more PSU and update the PSU Cultist list, there are some PSU which are cheap but couldnt find it in their listing, making doubt of buying them in the first place
Yes it would be nice to get an update! In the meantime we are searching for individual reviews the old fashioned way gerrrr
I bought a thermaltake bronze psu 12 years ago that lasted me until now, still going strong. Building a new pc hoping I can get something as reliable as that.
What is your budget for your new pc?
Hi Jason,other brands to consider:
Seasonic,
FSP Fortron Hydro
Chieftec
Yes! Lots more good PSUs out there, this is just a list of the most competitive priced ones at the US market at time of filming. But I'll keep the links in the description updated as prices change
My PSU is an Antec Titanium 1000w (Seasonic), been using Seasonic for years, but got a special deal on the Antec..
Never cheap out on your PSU..
The MSI MPG A1000G is really good. Got this over a Corsair unit and very happy with it
Good video as always.
The ADATA XPG Core Reactor II 850W and 1000W GPUs also seems like really good options due to their $99 and $129 Prices and 10 Year Warranties.
Pretty much mine got 850 and i feel like i can move anything with that.
Thanks Ty!
Just in time to upgrade psu, great video like always
Thank you! So glad the timing is good

Love my corsair rm850e. People will tell scary stories about a noisy fan. I game for hours in silence. I have the rm850x too. only difference is a bigger fan and japanese caps and no 12vhpwr type 4 cable for my gpu. I havent noticed any performance issues from the more compact design of the E series and it included the cable my gpu needed.
I have ordered the corsair rm850x too with my rtx 4080 super ryzen 7 build, can you tell me if the rm850x is loud or has any other issues if any youve experienced?
Thanks for sharing!
I'll stick with Corsair. My wife's pc is powered by a 11 year old AX760i pushing a 3800x/ 3080.
My son's pc has an old tx750 still going with my old 1080ti. I'm running an RM 1000x for a few years now. No issues ever..
The Seasonic VERTEX PX series was my PSU of choice on my recent 2024 build. Top notch, Tier-A rated PSU.
I rarely click like on videos, but your enthusiasm made me do it this time
Hey thank you! I appreciate it
When I bought my 7900xtx nitro+ I wasnt sure if my Seasonic 850W PSU would fit because it only had 2 8-pin GPU power connectors with a 6+2- pin connector attached to each 8 pin cable, so the 3 8-pin slots were powered by basically 2 cables only. I contacted Seasonic and they recommended to get a unit with 3 8-pin connectors. I still took a shot (trusting Seasonics quality) and my pc shut down the moment I loaded up Cyberpunk 2077 :) . For the time being I undervolted the 7900xtx just so I could use my PSU and I ordered a new unit (power cables ran fairly warm, so this is not recommended!, but I have excellent air flow in my Fractal torrent). This time it was the Corsair RM1000x with 3 seperate 8-pin cables and it works totally fine. I heard the X- version has no fan issues so I went for that one instead of the E- version. And my unit is silent and works perfectly even on the highest power draws I can pull off.
Always invest in a good and proper PSU. Id even say the PSU is the most important PC part.
So basically you're running a 1000w psu?
Perfect timing. I just upgraded from a 12400 to a 14900K. So I need me a PSU upgrade ASAP.
What are the rest of your specs?

There are Thermaltake, corsair, deepcool, phanteks, asus, gigabyte, msi, super flower, cooler master, silverstone, antec, seasonic. They all have white power supplies.
what is the difference between MSI Mag G and GL?
Why do you recommend MSI mag series a750gl? In the list the speculative one is MSI mpg series, not mag series?
Just picked up a Corsair SF1000L to replace a Cooler Master 750w unit. My 6950XT was giving coil whine with the 750w, but is quiet with the 1000w. Got the 1000w SFX PSU for $110 on sale. It comes with the ATX bracket, so works fine in my O11 Vision. Just budget some extensions if you go this route, as SFX cables are short. Good job kn the breakdown of PSUs. Everyone should see this
Thank you!
MSI psu weights 1/3 more than corsair 3kg vs 2kg... wtf ... more weight, more quality in electronics and sound systems... it has always been said...
Just bought the MSI psu (same manufacturer as corsair), It may be a little better or worse... but it will last many more years... ... thx 4 video

For MSI PSU's what is the difference between the G and GL models? One is a little more expensive but I can't tell why.
Glad I went with an XPG Core Reactor 750. It's presently overkill for my hardware but I trust it'll give me peace of mind for the next 8-10 years.

This channel has been invaluable! I'm new to building, and I had felt extremely overwhelmed in trying to research what I should pair with what. I found this and BOOM! Piece👏of👏mind👏

Definitely sympathetic to those on a tight budget, but of all the components I'd probably recommend spending the extra $30 here to get an A tier PSU.

@PCBuilderChannel it has a quiet mode mine is supper quiet but I also not running heavy system just bought it for the price at the time compared to 750w for 30 more why not the 1000w

It's Thursday, July 25, 2024
I chose several older EVGA 1300 Watt Power supply models all three have appropriately labeled PCI-e / VGA cables and without pigtails.
Forced to buy additional extention kits or modded replacements for pigtailed PCI-e/GPU cables costing in excess of $100- for a partial or complete replacement kit, while not directly naming power supply manufacturers, I will always choose to be a frugal and use that savings towards other components.
Snagged a super flower 1000w titanium last year for $239 USD, I think, for my main rig before it shot back up past $300. It had all the new new standards attached. Moral of the story is watch that favorites list on PC Part Picker and the market like a Hawk lol
I would agree with comments about the Corsair RMe ATX 3.0 fans. I have the RM1000e and the fan constantly stop/starts with a 'soft buzz' noise even at idle! Not recommended as the could be distracting for you.
Further to this I have rotated the PSU (fan up) and placed a fan directly above as an assist. I'm sure the PSU fan starts but I can't hear it.
Thanks for sharing!
Man, I wish i had this video a little earlier! I recently bought a new PSU for my build to acommodate a future RX 6700 XT. Using that calculation trick i saw that I needed around the same amount of watts that the PSU provided. I mean, it'll still do the job but if I had known better, I would have held off and bought an even better one.
Sorry for the timing!
hot tip - the corsair is the better psu because it has a longer 600w GPU cable. The GPU cable in the Thermaltake is VERY SHORT. Did not work in a meshroom S.
great video, getting back into tech after being too busy to put my brain to it, feels great to get back upto speed on the terminology and jog the memory, and that hasnt been upgraded since 2010
Glad we can help! I actually started the channel when I got back into it after a break and wishes there was a channel to catch me up!
I got the be quiet pure power 12M. 1000W. Got it on a sale that made it as cheap as any other 850W. It taught me to hate 6+2 connecters, but it's doing well otherwise.
Apevia ATX-GX850W so far a year later is still working fine and for 3 months i had it in the garage so it ran hot and never gave out
Pc has ryzen 5700x
Rx 7900 xt
Definitely recommend for $69 and semi modular black out cables look great since i dont like extensions
The important thing to keep in mind with PSUs is that a name brand doesn't guarantee that of their PSU models are the same quality, as most of the brands source their PSUs from multiple OEMs, of which there are only 3 or 4 truly good ones. Looking at the Cultist's list, you'll see brands that have A-rated PSUs also have low-rated or even garbage PSUs. Thermaltake is a good example of this; they have a few gold-highlighted A-Tier units (two of which are sourced from CWT, one of the best PSU OEMs), but they have plenty in the trash end of the list as well.

Would you recommend the MSI MAG A650bn for a rtx4060gpu or should I get a better PSU
i think 800 you’d be set but if you really aren’t trying to overspend a bit, get a 750
I want to buy a psu this Black Friday, anticipating getting the 5090. Would all of the top tier ones you recommended here have the cables needed for the 5090?
I got an hx1000i and regret not getting a super flower, woulda been much cheaper but i just went with the “safe” pick since its my first high end pc. Either way should be fine for a 7800x3d and 4080 super *knock on wood*
That is a nice high end build.
Is this one good or meh? "POWER SUPPLY ACER 750W FULL MODULAR +80 BRONZE BLACK/WHITE"

Yes that one should be good
Maan, I'm planning to buy 80 gold PSU, but the question is can I use additional stabilizer again? Someone said do not use additional stabilizer for the full range PSU because it can destroy the PSU/ stabilizer itself because it will be a double AVR/ Stabilizer, AVR/stabilizer from the PSU and stabilizer it self.

To make is simple just buy the ROG Thor P2, a Corsair HXi, or seasonic prime and at 1000w. Those are the best PSUs, and nobody really needs more than 1000w TBH, and it leaves you room to grow. Betweem the prime and thor, go with whichever you prefer or has the better deal. The ROG Thor is basically a rebranded Prime with an OLED wattage readout. This is only if you want the very BEST PSU. Cheaper ones can still be fine. Many come with 5 to 10 year warranties, so might as well go a bit oversized. Definitely no more than 1200w, though.
IDK why they make PSUs above that. I don't exceed or even hit 1000w with an OC 4090, 14900ks, 96gb DDR5-6600, and 10tb of storage across 3 high speed Nvme drive, plus a bunch of fans and rgb. You'd need to start getting into mobos running a 4090/7900xtx, and dual workstation CPU configs to go above that. Even an 850w PSU would cover like 99% of builds.
Sharkoon silentstorm cool zero
Or
Cooler master mwe gold v2 ?
I also wonder why no Seasonic PSU on your recommendation. The latest Seasonic Focus GX ATX3.0/PCI-E 5.0 and vertex comes with individually sleeved cables ssving money from buyin cable extension for the looks and comes with a 10 yr warranty.
I think Corsair RMe models doesn't use Japanese capacitors, would this be a deciding factor over other PSU that uses one?
Seasonic makes a lot of good ones! They just aren't priced as competitively as the ones in this video in the US market at the time of filming.
I recently bought a used PC for $400. It came with a 5800X3D, 2060 6GB, 16GB RAM, and a Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 750W 140mm fan PSU. PSU cultist doesn't really specify this unit, but it does have the 850W variant on the A tier list. Please advise?

Hi, I got a couple of questions regarding the sponsor:
- are those keys global? I live in Europe, I know some game codes are region-restricted.
- if I buy a Windows 10 key, can I upgrade it later to Windows 11, or should I buy the Windows 11 key in the first place?
Many thanks for the answers!
So what shall I buy for the Pro Art z790, i9 14900k, pro art 4080 super? Getting tired of all these new bullshit standarts, to be honest. Would have gone for a corsair hx1200i, because I want a silent supply where the radiatior ist not going all the time, but Ive heard its missing some of the current cables...
If in the US the SeaSonic VERTEX GX-1200 is a good choice. I've heard good things about SeaSonic PSUs.
I have the Be Quiet Pure Power 12M 850 Watts. It's a nice PSU but the cables aren't great. Aside from the motherboard cable, none of them are braided. It also seems like the PCI-E cables are also kind of short. The PSU unit itself is great, certainly high quality and the price is quite good. You can buy this unit but you may need to also buy some extensions for the cables.
Thanks for sharing!
What do you think of CoolerMaster PSUs?
I know this is a few days old, but... whats the difference(besides price) between gold and platinum?
