Thermaltake Berlin 630w
*The best power supply!*
cooler master ??????!!!!!?????
All of atx psu are just generic psu?
Will a cheap PSU void the warranty on a quality motherboard like an ASUS or Gigabyte.
350w out of a 400w rated PSU is OK tho, its not 80+…
0:55 SmartTeck should really change their company from making PSU into a fireworks/explosive production company because they are really good at it! CIT is also good at it too.
lol LC power 😀 I went through 3 of these(550w rated ones) back in the mid 00s. Powered up my Athlon 64 3000+,K8NF9 mobo, 2GB of rams, GF 6600 GT and 250GB HDD,. Had my PC on 24/7 and each one lasted me for about 3-4 years. They would ussually go byebye when the electricity went out.
I can’t believe cooler master elite is on the list too
it it peak rate or continuous? also these companies should just go out of business coz this can cause serious house fires
my psu exploded while watching
They should’ve labeled them as 300 watts or so not “500” Watts.
i call bs i run lots of items off these from random pc,s coolers rc car /drone charging systems
iv shorted out the output run 12v 100amp pumps off them thay never pop just cut out or stop working from consent abuse useing some shitty 250w 1 for my ebike charger as i type this fan dosnt work im pulling 300w from it pulling voltage down to 10.3v not dead yet lol what i can tell ur doing is putting a higher that rated voltage threw all these not saying it use in a gaming pc as voltage drop will cause issues but iv never seen 1 die as all these did unless its besttech
Atx sucks ?
Just wondering – My PSU isn’t shitty, but I’m just getting into mining. Is an EVGA 850w Gold enough for a HD 7950 + R9 390X, and in time, enough to swap the 7950 with an RX Vega?
Can you try this on good psus
The cheap power supply’s the fans go out right away and they burn up. If you replace the fan with a good one as soon as you get it it will keep working.
Why it blows ?
I decided to try furmark with my shit PSU and it blew far worse than these, damn I was stupid and lucky at the same time it didn’t catch fire or destroy my entire PC. It scared the shit out of me tbh the “fireworks” in this video look like little farts in comparison!
I know the heartache!
LOL what a shit
>When you’re actually using one of the PSU on the Video.
Are Seasonic fanless power supply good and reliable?
Why they exploded? They arent overliaded…
I have an i5 2400 with 3.1 ghz, 500 gb hard drive. Well in all my psu is 265 watts. I added a gt 610 and it worked perfectly. The recommended wattage is 300 so I bought a cheap 310 watt psu. Would I be able to run it without any troubles??? Please help. Contact me on skype truechip122
