![]() ![]() The A-Tier Cooler Master V 1300W is currently the best available deal at $309 delivered The only thing worse than buying a cheap PSU is buying a cheap high wattage PSUĪt this wattage level, the Corsair HX/AX and SeaSonic Prime are the best picks (I never cheap out on the PSU, even then you can't be too safe) It just went pop on me today when I turn on my PC.ġst time happened to me from 20+ years of PC building. No magic smoke but my gut told me there is something wrong with the power supply that could merit damage to the unit if I decided to use it. Unfortunately, mines made a loud pop and then the fan went to 100%. Thank goodness EVGA included a little power supply jumper so that you can test the unit before installation. Frying my NVME and Motherboard with it (Maybe the CPU/RAM, but I can’t currently test any of theses right now). A few days after, the second one exploded. So I replace the PSU with the second 1600w P+. Maybe a faulty PSU I thought, good thing I bought 2x. Less than a month before the order, the first PSU (1600w P+) seemed like it shorted. I saw the new P+ model and they were on discount (at the time), so I figured I’d order 2 cause of their smaller form factor and higher efficiency. Unknown OEM for the P+ and compared to the P2, it has kept the same wattage but shrunk by 2cm which means cost cuttingįirst of all, I’ve been running that build for close than a year using a 1600W G2 from EVGA. ~ Not rated on the Cultists tier list, unlike the older, larger and A-Tier rated P2 model which was made by Super Flower. ~ Released in 2021 and no reviews available at all I'd point out though that it has a rating of 4.6/5 averaged over 220 reviews on Amazon which is pretty good and should provide some reassurance. $259, 1600w AND a quality PSU? EVGA and BPC Tech - you are the perfect switch…you turn me on…ĮDIT - There seems to be concern that there's no in-depth reviews out there. I read a forum post about someone complaining about coil whine under heavy load on the 1300w model but YMMV. It's actually cheaper than the 1300w equivalent model which is on sale for $269 at BPC (still a great price) so I figured it's worth future proofing myself (crazy how I thought that getting my existing 850w Tier 1 PSU would be fine for many years when I bought it in 2021). My 850w PSU wasn't quite up to the task to keep reliably powering my 7900 XTX, after a recent CPU upgrade, so I went on the hunt for a 1000-1300w PSU which led me to stumble across this absolute bargain - a quality 1600w on sale for $259 with free shipping (save $290). ![]()
