We interview JonnyGuru (Jon Gerow) at Corsair's HQ to talk about power supply reviews, showcasing some PSU testing equipment while there.
Ad: Buy Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on Amazon goo.gl/pygud5 (or their standard Kryonaut on Amazon goo.gl/8ySAVs)
We talk about catastrophic power supply failures, what makes a good power supply, voltage ripple, and other PSU characteristics with Jon Gerow of Corsair (founder of JonnyGuru). This also marks the start of GN's exploration of power supply testing, which we can now do with some high-end PSU testing equipment. We'll need more time yet to explore this testing approach, but we will get there. Our goal is to produce detailed power supply reviews for both YT and written articles, as we find them lacking presence in general on the web.

PSU reviews - I def looking forward to that. As you say, not enough of that at all. I do trust JonnyGuru's reviews. Very cool stuff!!!

@Dirtyboxer1 6 лет назад

I started paying attention to JonnyGuru's reviews after I had an Antec PSU cut loose and catch fire in my case. To their credit, Antec was pretty cool about it and offered to RMA the unit even though it was past warranty, but I went with a Corsair instead.

@TillOverHill 6 лет назад

So far my only points of reference were OC3D TV channel on here and johnny guru. Looking forward to GN's take on it very much!

@wtfskilz 6 лет назад

Ye I started paying attention myself after my brand new Intel platform was randomly crashing on idle. I then realized that certain PSU's could actually damage your hardware over time and that quality actually mattered.

I am amped for psu reviews

@aemonblackfyre4159 6 лет назад

The german site computerbase does great reviews including sound and ripple measurements You could check them out AFAIK They have an English site too

'guru' means "teacher" around Nusantara, his name makes so much sense for me :)

@bitmau5 6 лет назад

Ripple measurement was the single most selling point of me purchasing an Enermax EVO Galaxy 1250 in 2009. So clean. Never an issue, especially in a town that was once notorious for brownouts. It was the best 350 bucks I ever spent. There's a reason why you can't find these PSU's on the second-hand market. It's a keeper.

@ZuckerbroTx3 6 лет назад

and from now on u will be cursed by the unlucky chance of spilling water on your pc ;)

@randomsomeguy156 6 лет назад

Pax Justica found a sea sonic x1050 for 80 bucks called him up and and planned to meetup the next day, calls me a few hours later and says someone already bought everything he was selling. So yes the beast older PSUs are way hard to find and sell in seconds

@killtyrant 5 лет назад

I invested in a fairly beefy UPS that feeds a constant 120v to my PC. I never noticed how bad my power grid was until I kept hearing my UPS beep to indicate it turned on the battery.

@liamkoloke8746 4 года назад

The legendary PSU reviewer.. I’ve never made decisions before reading his reviews. 🙏

@realTredz 6 лет назад

Outstanding. GN is setting the bar high for other tech channels yet again. (sidenote: CX550M pls don't explode my 1070)

@mateuscampello 6 лет назад

If it's the new one, with the grey sticker, it won't explode, but I think your 1070 deserves more, I gave my 970 a TX550M.

@dongurudebro4579 6 лет назад

I would prefer a be Quiet, Seasonic or BitFenix PSU over nearly every pendant from Corsair anyways!

@DrathVader 6 лет назад

You're fine. I used to have an R9 290X which is far more power hungry than a 1070 on a VS550. Other than PSU getting audible (still drowned by the reference 290X cooler, obvs) under high load it worked without a hitch. oh, my CPU is 2500K at 4.8GHz, I also have two 3TB hard drives with I think 5 platters each, so they quite power hungry as well so yeah, a 1070 is fine on a 550W PSU

@Annatar. 6 лет назад

Ive got a 550M, (old one, green sticker i think) running an i5-4690K at 4.5Ghz @1.32V + a 1070Ti, and they're still alive :D

@andrewskaterrr 6 лет назад

Don Guru de Bro Corsair, like many psu companies, have their low tier, poor manufacture rebrands, and then they have their good psus from good manufactures. The AX1500i is one of the best psus you can get. You just have to look up JG reviews (you see people mentioning the sticker colors because they come from different manufactures)

@duffvader6731 6 лет назад

That's the legendary Jonny guru???

@ggchbgigghb7699 6 лет назад

Jonny guru is a shill not a legend. He gives biased reviews, works for Corsair.

@PRCptPlanet 6 лет назад

You realize he sold the site many years ago right and no longer does reviews?

@lucasknapp5676 6 лет назад

That's really interesting! Please make a beginner video in which you go over every detail you are going to test for, explain it and its effects and give a baseline of a good example so we can compare and kinda understand what you are talking about! Looking forward to it!

@AndrewTJackson 6 лет назад

JG and the guys at the JG forums are INCREDIBLY knowledgeable. I've really learnt a bunch hanging out with them and reading their reviews. I really appreciate him and the guys sharing their passion. Thanks JG and forumites!! I'm downloading this video to my phone to view when I have the chance. Thanks GN! :-)

@AndrewTJackson 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video, Steve & team. I look forward to seeing your testing! :-)

@carlos2004 6 лет назад

Thank you Steve for deciding to start reviewing PSU's. It will be nice to have a bit more objective information instead of having to to rely on reviews by users who are just as clueless as the people asking. Not only that, but I'm glad this will be reviewed instead of a sixth rbg gaming chair like in most other youtube tech channels.

@AshtonCoolman 4 года назад

We need more PSU reviews at Gamers Nexus. It's been 2 years since this video.

@wedgoku 6 лет назад

@JonnyGuru I just wanted to say Thankyou for all your in depth power supply reviews, most reviewers are too scared to take apart a powersupply's. I learned alot from your reviews thankyou for everything!

@eskimio 6 лет назад

Long time watcher, first time commenter -- I just wanted to say that the title to this video literally made me sit up in my seat. When I saw "JonnyGuru" in the title, it made me so happy because I have been an avid JonnyGuru reader for about 10 years now. I love his methodology, he's always thorough but straight to the point with a bit of fun added into the mix. I am beyond excited for the folks at GN to start reviewing power supplies and I cannot wait to see what you have in store for the future. Edit: I've based all my PSU purchases since I started building off JonnyGuru reviews. A++ source and always my go-to. I look forward to seeing the same level of quality and professionalism from GN as I've come to expect from them having been a subscriber for some time now.

@dveydah 6 лет назад

OMG!!! I consulted his website on my Corsair HX620 purchase over 10 years ago - the Corsair still runs in my dad's PC now (& I checked Johhnygury on my Seasonic too)! What a nice surprize. Very good thinking, Steve! (as usual;)

@cjolney 3 года назад

Glad to see this video coming full circle with your guys upcoming video about the exploding one egg gigabyte PSU, as well as testing other units.

Jonny Guru is the man! His love for a topic nobody understands and everybody underestimate is just great. Working on something he really likes. No wonder he became the PSU Guru. Kudos Jonny!

@ZZstaff 6 лет назад

I have gone to Jonnyguru for many years and recommended his site to others. Most people do not understand the importance of power good supplies. Keep up the good work!

@S.ASmith 6 лет назад

Easy to Understand PSU Electronics for nubs, laymen and noobs from an E/E Engineer: 110/240V goes in, Passes through a transformer (reduces the voltage) & bridge rectifier (4 diodes in a diamond which changes AC to DC). The transformer will have multiple "tapped" voltages, giving you the 12V, 3.3V & 5V buses inside (a "bus" is basically a common conductor). This then passes through capacitors and inductors (capacitors are usually electrolytic tall and black, and stick of fish when they pop, inductors are coils of insulated wire around an iron core or ceramic). Then you plug your cables in to your components. Different companies add in various other things, some proprietary, to give you added features, deal with frequency (ie: if it has a built in switch to change from 50 or 60 Hz), use of Integrated Circuits (ICs) to cut down on component count and improve power factor (an efficiency measurement that has no units). Smoothing helps flatten out the DC voltage. A full bridge rectifier won't completely get rid of ripple. Diodes act like a valve, and if you've ever used a garden hose, you know they still leak a bit. This is basically "ripple", in short. And if it's too high you end up with instability & unstable clocks. You can use decent, off the shelf components, LEADED solder (as it doesn't bloody fracture, split or break like lead free shite) & a local cheap PCB maker (still good quality usually) and build a PSU that'll last you years. You would just need to buy some plastic, cut it to size and build your own housing. Acryllic would work well, and you can just glue it. I've thought about doing this and testing it on a bastardised pentium (celeron) based PC.

@demoniack81 4 года назад

Leakage in diodes has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with ripple, which is caused by the switching regulation (or just by the input AC waveform in linear supplies). I have to seriously question your "engineering" credentials if you make such a basic mistake. Also you forgot the entire voltage regulation step. The transformer output is completely unregulated and varies wildly depending on the AC input, and needs regulating to get a stable voltage. Computer PSUs are switchmode which means they switch the (regulator) input on and off at very high frequency, as opposed to linear regulators which use basically a variable resistor to pull down the voltage if it floats too high. Linear regulators are more stable but they're horribly inefficient.

@hartsickdisciple 6 лет назад

This is why GN is my favorite tech channel. Fantastic stuff. I killed a 500 watt Antec PSU back in 2008ish from running a pair of 8800gt's with it. It was then that I started learning about why PSUs matter, and how much is enough.

@predality 4 года назад

Here in Brazil we have the guys from Teclab. They've tested a lot of psu's. They use a similar testloader to check voltages,ripple levels, efficiency and all that stuff. I bought my current CM psu after watching their video.

@EXPERIMENTONGOD 6 лет назад

Great video guys, it's cool finally "meeting" Jonny and I'm glad you're going to start reviewing PSU's!

@WarbossRB 6 лет назад

Shit yeah, this is why I love this channel.

@lunaticdoto 3 года назад

i could watch this all day even though it was an hour long or even more, absolutely worth it.

@PowerRanger83 6 лет назад

Man, PSU reviews. Really looking forward to it. I had a pretty hard time to find reviews that go beyond, it is 850W and has sleeved cables. Learing from JonnyGuru is learning from the best.

@Excalabur50 6 лет назад

Aside from Jonny Guru the only other place that I use for powersupply reviews is OC3D as TTL uses a Sunmoon himself and was taught by Jonny himself, but it will be nice to have another reviewer that I trust like GN doing them too

@Luredreier 5 лет назад

I *very* much appreciate this. And if you start doing this I'll double my patreon pledge.

@mrshotsmith 6 лет назад

I feel like this moment is legendary. Like two rival titans of industry have teamed up to take on the gods. This was the moment, the start of something epic.

@RedFenceAnime 6 лет назад

Great! YT needs more PSU reviews. Hope other people think so too, because it would be a shame if the vids don't get views.

@christopherjames9843 6 лет назад

I though Johnny Guru didn't really exist. Kind of like Eddie Baur sort of thing.

@__aceofspades 6 лет назад

IIRC Jon used to do pretty much all the PSU reviews under the name johnny guru, got a website up and going, and then found other capable enthusiasts to contribute, which then became employees, especially when Jon started working with corsair and didnt want to bring bias into the reviews.

@rudysal1429 6 лет назад

Pretty sure Eddie bauer was real lol

@dankuchar6821 3 года назад

Yes but Jack Bauer totally exists!

@FiscalRangersFlorida 6 лет назад

Fascinating. I never thought about overloading a cable... like adding Y cables to one so 6 devicees are connected to one while I have 2 spare cables and ports that could be used to reduce the load on a single cable. Great info and I look forward to your reviews of power supplies. PS - Just luckily, I just completed my first full Z370 i7-8700K build and got a Corsair PSU and case for it. I hope you make a practice of testing existing PSU's in pre-built PC's and also cheap replacement PSU's to show what they are missing, including cable quality.

6 лет назад

Interesting topic. Will be looking forward to it. Bet you get a ton of views here. 👍

@rock-n-roller3584 6 лет назад

I've used JonnyGuru's web site to buy all of my power supplies. The PSU is one thing a person doesn't want to skimp on. With Jonny's help I feel that I got the most stable and clean producing PSUs that I could get. I had almost forgot that he went to work for Corsair. I'll always check out Tagan and Enermax but now feel fairly comfortable that Corsair is likely putting out a decent PSU also.

@MrSeon123 6 лет назад

Rock-n-Roller They don't test the protections and noise, though. The result being things like the EVGA B3. Basically, EVGA sent out review samples to Jonnyguru. The consumer samples were manufactured by RSY instead of SF, had aweful soldering, and had non functional OPP.

@rock-n-roller3584 6 лет назад

So far I've stayed away from re-branded. Its been awhile since I bought a PSU. If I need one I'll start by checking out quality ones. Like say Seasonic. Then look for confirmation that it delivers. I've seen some scary stuff in the build quality of some PSUs. You have to check, though, because even good brands make stinkers some times.

@mdrumt 6 лет назад

I've been reading Johnny's reviews for over a decade! Top website, has helped me decide on units in my builds.

@Xr4di4ti0nX 6 лет назад

Burned 1 pin myself and repaired 4 burned pins for people who didn't understand what happened. OVERLOADING SINGLE CABLES POWERING MULTIPLE GPU'S OR RISERS IS A FIRE HAZARD. Change all your machines to spread the load as wide as possible. Great video topic! I too have learned a lot about the chemicals they put into the plastic so it doesn't start on fire, and how it smells when it melts....

@murraystechtime8530 6 лет назад

This is different and interesting, in the military as an engineering electronics technologist. This was one of my many jobs, testing equipment components to spec and calibrating test equipment... Awesome I'll be watching :-)

@brianfitz1604 6 лет назад

HELL YEAH! Can't wait to see you guys pass on some knowledge about what we are actually getting brand for brand.

@Rocky-bz8wr 6 лет назад

Great Video I actually use JohnnyGuru as my go to for power supply tests when I need a new PSU. That is why I chose the Inwin Desert Fox 800 80+ Gold unit. When he tested the PSU it performed great and also performed way above it's weight as being able to handle way higher power output than what is listed on the spec sheet my unit was tested to about 950 watts and still had 89-90% EFF so it was good to know this before buying the unit and also knwing that if ever the power reaches or surpasses the 800 watts the unit will handle it fine.

@oysteinsoreide4323 4 года назад

That it makes sense that my computer that has an AX 860 power supply from Corsair still is so stable and so little problems with. Since a good power supply makes a good environment for the components to live in. And it may also be the reason why the sound that comes from my PC is so jitter free.

@musmuk5350 3 года назад

Still looking forward to PSU testing. It actually makes a lot of sense to review PSUs these days given how much power nvidia cards pull

@cmnhrnytoad2003 6 лет назад

This is one of the most interesting and least covered topics! Thanks for the interview, keep it up!

@ThrakazogZ 6 лет назад

The PSU for my latest custom loop build was chosen based on a Johnny Guru review. His PSU reviews are the same as Gamers Nexus case reviews. You can trust them.

@QuintilianA 6 лет назад

You guys are become my favorite RU-vid channel. Most of that was a foreign language to me but it was still fascinating. Can't wait to see psu reviews.

@dabombinablemi6188 6 лет назад

Bit of a failure a temporary desktop. I burned one of the negative wires+the FDD connector due to a Thermaltake "500W" (400W off peak) PSU with unknowingly exposed-in-connector wiring. The PSU entirely stopped working, but the (1993) FDD still works despite its connector being badly burned and melted. The entire system would have been pulling well under 150W total, with most of that on the abnormally strong 5V rail.

@johngermain5146 5 лет назад

Reminds me of when Roman kept reducing the # of wires to the PCIe connectors of a video card while measuring the current and Temperature. He got them wires HOT...

@ChosenOneDan 6 лет назад

@FolixOrision 6 лет назад

This video has improved my opinion of Corsair power supplies.

@Passoul303 6 лет назад

I am looking foward to PSU reviews and also better understanding what's happening with those. Since last year, I had a bad times with PSU, it was a first in years. I had a eVGA 650B that died after only 6-7 months of use. The PSU was trying to power up for a fraction of a second than would not have enough to start the PC anymore. So I replaced it with a CX750M from Corsair, but after a 2 months the power supply would take sometime a few seconds to some minutes after pressing the power button to actually power up. I read online that may be caused by low temperature (but the AC in my house is only around 18 oC). I replaced it with a RM 750 i from Corsair and those issues went away. I really would like to understand more how PSU works in different conditions: variation in power from the wall, variation in temperature, how much power it requires to boot a system up. I hope you guys can look at that if you get the time and the knowledge. You always make interesting videos!

@spookychief 6 лет назад

Love videos like this. Super informative and I can't wait to see more reviews about power supplies.

@MaplePengiun 6 лет назад

Jonnyguru has completely changed my understanding and appreciation of power supplies. I *never* buy a PSU without looking it up on his site first.

@HelloWorld-lg1pz 4 года назад

man, ive got a thermaltake 750 watt 80 bronze from 2012 thats seen pretty heavy use over the years with a 8350fx and in the last few years an r9 fury. uses about 600 watts with high load. voltage rails all read normal. i hate to think its going to crap out soon. certainly hope it keeps chuggin along for another couple!

@Gixxer983 6 лет назад

Interesting. Im using a Corsair CS750M . No complaints. Nothing ever died using it. Its running my second system by now. Coffee lake i3 8350K. It used to run power hungry amd fx8350.

@K31TH3R 5 лет назад

I have an R9 290 that does 1250MHz 1.35v and memory at 1650MHz on water. It was beating R9 Fury's and GTX 980s in benches. I was powering it with a 1000w Enermax Triathlor PSU. It melted a total of 4 (separate) PSU PCI-E 8-pin/6-pin connectors, and it's own PCI-E 8-pin/6-pin connectors which eventually started to snap off due to thermal fatigue. I know those connectors can withstand at least 210c. In my case it wasn't the wires that were the weakest point, but the connectors. The 290 was a fun card, but now that I have a 5700 XT my room is on average 6c cooler.

@3R45U5 6 лет назад

Got my EVGA Supernova G2 750 after ths guys recommendation after having lost two branded PSUs in a span of three years. Best decision I have ever made. This guy is a true gem in the PC hardware community.

@InekoBK 6 лет назад

I hope the first video you make on this topic will be testing that HX850 . It's on top of my shoppinglist and would like how it does when / if you test it . 80+ platinum 850w psu for 150euros sounds like it's pretty much in the performance/cost sweetspot . Most ones I found so far in that wattage and pricerange have a gold rating or lower

@chrisladouceur4093 6 лет назад

I stopped buying corsair power supplies after blowing 2 of them in recent years. Had a TX650 that just stopped after a year. Also had a HX850 that blew after just over a year and let out the magic smoke. These were just regular use gaming computers where they were not pulling more than 70% at peak. Now I buy EVGA PSUs

@spyder000069 6 лет назад

Two decades ago I was definitely on the $25 500w power supply train. With overclocking and tweaking all these years I have figured out its just not worth my time or risk investment to go with a no name brand (or even many well known brands that are just junk). I have never had a problem with corsair power supplies including my favorite cheapo cx430 supplies for friend's and family's budget builds. Occasionally I will buy a seasonic if there is a really good sale but I am 99% corsair loyal. :^)

@kristiangronberg3150 6 лет назад

I can't wait to see the power supply reward, this is just the kind of technical in depth shit I'm interested in. Just make sure you have the oscilloscope and measure the riple on multiple different frequencies

@sr6550 5 лет назад

OOOh nice! This is the first time I've seen johny's face. Very cool stuff you're gonna do, Steve. I'm a tad bummed that this will come before any of the fan content.

@enricofermi3471 3 года назад

Well, all things aside, I never underestimated the importance of a good PSU in a high-end PC. I was using 80+ Gold Enermax MaxRevo for the last 7~8 years (cant remember the month I bought it), and as I'm upgrading my computer this winter, I got a Seasonic TX-1000 Titanium certified PSU. I could've gone with 850 or even 700 watt titanium certified one, but this is the case when going a bit overkill is OK - who knows what you'll upgrade in 2-3-5 years, what if it's something with the power draw of RTX3090, so it's better to go overspec with that.

@peterjansen4826 6 лет назад

Good to see that Gamers Nexus starts to test PSU's, too few reviewers do so while it is an incredibly important component. Something to think about, a good PSU lasts longer than 10 years, spending a bit more on such an important component which powers your entire system and which also often is one of the big contributors to noise in your system is a pretty good idea.

@gimpojones1 5 лет назад

@arkama67 4 года назад

It's funny that the only two PSUs failure that I had were with corsair. And now this guy works there. Despite the failure Corsair sent me back a replacement one but yeah, it makes you wonder about the quality of what's in there. To share my experience one PSU just died like that while the rig was off, but the other one was quite a show. The computer shut down instantly, I was like ok is that a blue screen or what. I turn it back on 5-10sec later I hear a loud POP, pc goes off again and it started to smell burned condensator. PSU was dead but other components were still working strong. The build was not overloading the psu.

@dainiusvysniauskas2049 4 года назад

Any PSU can die. At least a good PSU will protect other components from dying too.

Thanks to Jonny Guru I bought 2011 Corsair AX750 power supply, I read the article at that time: www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=236 The AX750 is still strong, just did it with the 8600k@5.3ghz Oc clocking experiment :). So 7 years... it may soon be time to buy something as good as this psu. Great interview and great to see the man himself!

This makes me really curious about what happened to my EVGA 650 GQ, I was playing a game and my PC just turned off and everything that was plugged into the surge protector also turned off, it also tripped the breaker for my room. I then switched the PSU off and back on and I got the magic pop but no smoke or smell.

would like a PSU ranking for different areas, like noise cost safety and so on.

I would totally watch a PSU video if only to watch a 3 minute clip of the internals

Buff Barnaby Same! I have a Antec NeoPower 550w. Bought in 2007, now powering my bros coffee lake system. Has a 80mm fan and very quiet. Top quality.

Got the Prime Ultra Titanium to power the battle station. Most premium PSUs on the market and their the OEM for Corsair's mid and high end power supplies. Seasonic always gets Mythic rating on JonnyGURU.com too. Badass.

EVGA has made some good stuff. I picked a Supernova 1300 G2, after Jonny said it was better than Seasonic.

Peanutbudda hmm it's a good power supply (made by Seasonic) but idk that a 350 dollar gold rated PSU is Better value than 250 dollar 80 plus titanium that is Better in every way. I get you're basically paying extra for that 1300 wattage, but that's a very very, specific use case. I'm running threadripper 1950x OC to 4.8 regularly with a 1080ti OCed custom loop on everything with 12 fans in my caselabs sma8 and don't even come close to utilizing the 1000 watts my psu can push. So my guess is you're running 4 way SLI or a crypto miner. There's no way corsair beats Seasonic for gaming, you get 12 year warranty free rma for 3 years, and best efficiency for the money. Corsair kinda just king of the gold rated PSU.

I didn't know that Seasonic made EVGA PSU's. I definitely didn't pay 350 for it, more like 150.

When did John join Corsair? Also, what PSUs has he had a hand in designing? Can't wait for GN PSU reviews! You should test a super suspicious no name super cheap PSU for shits and giggles
