Opinion on this PSU?

[Red™]

My friend recently got his PC. Unfortunately he isn’t much of a tech savvy.
He bought a somewhat funky psu and I don’t trust it. He’s having weird problem, like his computer would crash, sometime it’ll either freeze or black.

Where is this info from? I would like to see the good ones. I have an EVGA 1000W that may be acting up. It is from 2015 I think.

Can you recommend me any good quality psu? Preferably at 550w

1000W is NOT normal for pc, even gaming one. Most of them only use 500-600w

This good?

I was going to do SLI. Never did. 500 to 600 is low nowadays. 750 is good.

Stick to a tier A if he's having problems.

The usual reason why tier D etc are to be avoided is that the power output is not within tolerance for gpus.

buy from tier 1(A) or 2(b) imo

Normal - yes, if it's a good one. Common - no. The reason why people buy at the top end is for the use of premium electronic components and top operational performance.

For example, assuming it's high quality, 1000 W means the psu has larger capacitors than those in smaller psus. So the capacitors won't produce much heat. No heat = no running fan and minimal degradation over time of the psu and pc components. Plus mInimal ripple, desirable for overclocking. And a higher quality fan.

Totally normal depending on the build. I run 1050w 80+ platinum in mine. I also have a Vega 64 that draws 330w for gpu alone under load, and am about to jump from a heavily OCd 4790k that pulled 110 to 130w under load to an R9-3900x that draws near or over 200w under load.

700w was not enough for me.



@OP what are the system specs?

it's already confirmed it was a crappy psu. he got ryzen 3 3200g and rx580. he didnt list out the rest because h didnt bother doing research on the pc he's building
also i'm only asking about the quality of the psu not watts. quality make a huge difference

700w is more than enough for your build tho
