Just got the Corsair RM650x 80+ Gold fully modular PSU with 10 year warranty. There are 'tier lists' you can look up to find the best quality PSU at various price points. I just went with the best rated A tier. Recommended as the best PSU at this wattage.
Finally someone that explains the function of each cable. I have watched other channels but non of them explain it quiet well, except you sir. This channel is indeed number 1 on the content. Salute !!
Thank you for explaing the 80 plus ratings! I was always wondering what those meant. It was cool to see some of the basics of the electromagnetic physics behind it
This video was right on time for me! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos lately, and yesterday I was thinking about how the 80 Plus works. Well, sure enough, this video gets uploaded lol. The video quality is great! Also, hearing a story about how the one cheap power supply worked out was informative and funny (although at the time it was probably really scary lol). 👍
Hey PowerCert, I really want to become a network technician in the future, And I am currently watching your videos to get a headstart at becoming one. I want to thank you for making these videos as I probably would have changed my mind about becoming a technician.
10:07 - this situation occurs very often in Brazil. The power supply comes with 120v or 22v input, and with a switch to change according to the voltage coming out of the wall. So when we set the power supply to 120v but the wall supplies 220v we have smoke indeed!
These are always great! The videos are elegantly animated, the voice-over is very professional, and, of course, the content is of great value. The most interesting part I found is the 80-plus ratings. I had no idea this existed - let alone the additional ratings based on precious metals colors. I think if you're the type of person caring about the environment, you will want to get an "80-plus Titanium" rated power supply. Over time, that extra over-and-above baseline 80% rating can mean real savings on your energy bill while being slightly less cruel to the planet 😃.
Addendum to PCI Power: with PCIe - 5.0 specification coming out, GPU's are likely to use a new 12+4 connector (12 pins for power delivery, 4 pins for signaling). The 3090ti's currently use this connector, though often through splitters to 8pin PCIe power. Also, the new ATX 3.0 PSU specification is around the corner with new certifications for transient loads and efficiency on certain power rails.
Absolutely golden reference worth more than any gold in the world. Knowledge is absolute power and knowing all of these brilliant knowledge from you absolutely amazes me. I was able to take away all the core components of the PSU and all thanks to you for providing with us the necessary information. Apart from your concise and precise explanation, the editing of the video where you are providing us information visually is also what matters and helps to understand better. Since, I'm a visual learner and this helped me to learn much effeciently.
Oh my God, I was really waiting for this video from that channel, and without complimenting the videos provided by that channel, it makes me wish I could put more than one like for the video. Much love
Another benefit of fully modular PSUs is that you can replace the power supply without having to detach all the cables in the process, so you can keep your cable management intact.
If you use modular cables. Just remember not to mix up those cables with PSU with different brand and/or model. Mixing up will kill your pc. Gamers Nexus made one informative video about it.
@@Juzimaster Agreed. Always stay in vendor lines, and also make sure that the generation didn't have any revisions on their cables. I have noticed a few Silverstone models have changed up their standards within a few years apart.
I just did a little math which the result surprises me: If you buy the Gold rated PSU instead of Bronze, and with the average usage of 200 watts for 24/7 for 5 years, it could save you 438 kWh and it translates to around 52 USD saved on your electricity bill in 5 years. So if the price difference between Gold rated PSU and Bronze is less than 52, you're actually saving money by buying the Gold one.
🚨 It’s worth mentioning that modular cables are not compatible with different power supplies models. Do not mix and match them, even if the plugs fit! ☠⚡
People need to know that the 80+ mark isn't a sign of quality. You can get a cheap power supply and still have an 80+ rating on it. As far as I know, the best way to check for a PSU's safety and quality is to open it and do an autopsy, or to just check for a "UL Listed" mark.
Your knowledge delivery skills are to the point. I respect your ability to deliver presentations and topic so extraordinarily well. I like almost all you your videos. I just can say THANK YOU to thank you. Love from India.
This vid is really informative.👍 9:58 So the cheap power supply you bought blew up? I've heard a few stories, similar to the one you told in the vid. That is good advice you gave, to buy a good power supply, instead of a cheap one. Thanks.👍😲
I use a EVGA supernova 80 plus NEX 750B, it's been flawless after several years of use and more than I really need. I don't skimp out when it comes to PSU's, it's actually the most critical PC part for longevity of a computer. I also don't skimp out on PC components, quality stuff is all i use. Buy good the first time and be done with it and the odds of problems decrease drastically. I built my last computer 7 years ago and still use it to this day, never once had any issues.
I learned alot watching these animation videos then reading books. I am currently studying for the new Comptia A+ 1101 & 1102 Exam would be great for videos on the updated Exam.
thanks for you videos. You help me so much about my preparation to the certification compTIA A+, I read the book for my training but after finish one chapter I watch the video which have same content to help me to remember
ChatGPT Summary : In this video, the presenter discusses computer power supplies. A power supply, as the name suggests, provides power to a computer by converting electricity into the specific voltages required by the computer. It is typically a square metal box with wires and connectors that fit inside the computer case, usually located at the top or bottom of a standard tower case. The video highlights different types of connectors found on power supplies, including the main power connector (P1), which can have 20 or 24 pins, and the P4 connector introduced in the early 2000s to supply more power to the CPU. The P8 or EPS connector is an 8-pin connector for newer, power-hungry CPUs. Additionally, there are 6 and 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors used for high-end video cards and SATA connectors for storage and optical drives. The older Molex connectors, once used for hard drives and optical drives, have been largely replaced by SATA connectors. The video discusses power supply wattages, which can vary from 200 to 2000 watts. The wattage you need depends on the components in your computer, with average computers requiring 500 to 600 watts, while high-end systems with multiple components may need 1000 watts or more. The presenter mentions a power supply calculator on Coolermaster's website to help determine the appropriate wattage. Power supplies also come in different configurations: non-modular, fully modular, and semi-modular. Non-modular power supplies have permanently attached cables, while fully modular ones allow for manual attachment and detachment of cables as needed, leading to better cable management and airflow. Semi-modular power supplies have only essential cables permanently attached. The video touches on 80 Plus ratings, which certify power supplies with at least 80% energy efficiency at 20%, 50%, and 100% load. The presenter explains that these ratings also have different levels, such as bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and titanium, depending on the efficiency rating. Lastly, the presenter shares a cautionary story about the importance of purchasing a quality power supply from a reputable brand to avoid potential issues.
