[2014-9-25. : 7:59 pm] NudeRaider -- And Sac, your PSU has about every protection there is. Your other hardware will be fine in case of a defect. A coil whine is annoying though. No way to RMA that?[2014-9-25. : 3:42 pm] Sacrieur -- Anyway, I'm not going to worry about it since it's in a box not doing anything.[2014-9-25. : 3:32 pm] Sacrieur -- RoyRoy shouted: Also, the coil whine sounds like you've got a defective unit. It's a really popular complaint among the CX430s[2014-9-25. : 3:05 pm] jjf28 -- how to fix coil whine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M-wK-2DNUU#t=68[2014-9-25. : 2:59 pm] Roy -- Efficiency ratings don't matter for low wattages. Anything below 600W can get away with a regular 80+ and be fine.[2014-9-25. : 2:45 pm] Roy -- The difference between a functional $30 PSU and a functional $130 PSU is $100.[2014-9-25. : 2:41 pm] Sacrieur -- mobo/PSU just isn't a part that I can see skimping out on, if either of them malfunction you can screw up a whole bunch of everything else at once.[2014-9-25. : 2:40 pm] Roy -- A ton of brands use SeaSonic as the OEM on at least some of their PSUs, not just XFX.[2014-9-25. : 2:38 pm] Roy -- The reviews between the CS450M and CS550M are about the same in quality. But the CX430, efficiency aside, gets pretty good reviews for a budget PSU.[2014-9-25. : 2:32 pm] Roy -- Oh, you know what, Nude? The PSU he picked is a CX, not a CS (like he labeled); that's why I got confused.[2014-9-25. : 12:51 pm] NudeRaider -- i saw a review that explained it. its a different board, so it doesnt have to be a different oem to have different properties[2014-9-25. : 12:14 pm] Roy -- I can't find anything suggesting there's a varying degree in quality between the two PSUs from the same series.[2014-9-25. : 12:14 pm] Roy -- Wait, Nude, what's the difference between the 430 and 550 other than wattage? It's the same OEM.[2014-9-25. : 11:27 am] Roy -- I think you just confused yourself into misunderstanding how EUDs work just so you could get the numbers to add up right, sigsaucy. And it may be all my fault.[2014-9-25. : 5:23 am] jjf28 -- you could simply claim you're using the word in a slightly different manner to make your language more colorful |
