Regarding the Seasonic Focus Plus units, they did identify that they can trip OPP on high transient load GPUs. That is why professional reviews (not some guy sticking it in a PC or using a multi meter and saying it works) are so important. A mediocre gold PS may do well in EPRI testing at room temperature but efficiency may dive once in a PC case. So the label is meaningless unless the PSU is tested in a hot box to get temps above 40c. Gold efficiency is a rating done by EPRI and tested on platforms at 28c (+/- 3c) while virtually all gaming PC cases have an internal temp of over 40c while gaming. Even the rare few good ones may push you towards a unit whose features you may never use. If you have a corsair PSU why the need for a new unit especially if the PSU calculator says you only need a 500w unit?ģ- is well reviewed by a professional review site (Tom’s, techpowerup, kitguru, if it’s an older model you can try Jonnyguru) and uses a modern platform & topology…basically DC-DC w/LLC resonant converter which is most “gold” units and virtually everything platinum and above in efficiency.Īvoid tier lists, most are bias and created by fan boys not professionals. not entirely sure what rating or standard ( gold i think ) it is. i currently have a corsair one in my PC no huge issues with it that i know of.
