    Not very attractive …
    Centrecom is selling MSI 750W fully modular gold for 119 including shipping.

      I would put Silverstone leagues ahead of msi.

      Lol that's like saying a MG is attractive cause it's cheaper than a Honda.

      • yangmao on 08/08/2021 - 22:25

        Apparently MSI is Honda in your case, full of Japanese parts :)

        • Void on 09/08/2021 - 10:26

          Yes, but it's MSI.

    Good point @yangmao, I saw that too. MSI's deal on that PSU is the stiffest competition out there price-wise until you get to 850W.

    I still went with the Silverstone 650 I think, something about the MSI I didn't like, can't remember now what it was.

    EDIT: Oh yes, it is much larger, and I couldn't find any specs on it. Seems to be newer in the market (MSI haven't made a name for themselves in PSUs yet), however they claim to offer double the warranty (10yrs) and it may well be a better choice as it has a larger fan (as there is more room for it).

    The Silverstone fan doesn't do the neat total cut-off at low load that a very select few high end PSUs can, so will always makes (some) noise (at least 18dbA). That said, the MSI might not too (the spec sheet pdf was woefully blank when I looked)

    Tier B for the 650 watt model according to the PSU tier list so not bad at all. I'd definitely be jumping all over that if I was in the market for a new build. Delivery is around $11 for the uninformed but still a nice find, OP

    • resisting the urge on 08/08/2021 - 21:18

      Thank you @newpolarfan1, glad to be of help. I didnt think I'd be the only one needing a decent PSU to get me thru another 10 years of lock-down

      BTW: $11 P&P is for AusPost IIRC, $20 or so for a courier, which may be quicker given AusPost is pretty busy at present

      Just received the ST65F-GS v1.2 I ordered @$105.

      It was very good value, as expected. Only has a single main interference capacitor in the bridge rectifier (this is the biggest one, so easiest to see). I think all Tier A supplies have two, but this makes them deeper, too. Having two seperate PFC caps means they are far less stressed, esp. when doing power factor correction at higher loads. it. They work better, last longer, but need more space for an extra control circuit as well as the 2nd cap. Not sure if all platinum rated supplies always have two, but it costs a lot more to make, and may be the only way to achieve even better performance.

      So a single cap is the biggest drawback to most of the sub-750W supplies. But does allow physical size, and cost, to be reduced.

      Anyhow, for $105- it is >$40 less than the bigger models. Cables were good, All four PCI-Es are short, but this can be good- you don't want long ones if you don't need them as you get a greater loss with bigger ones). Instructions were decent, and included the pinouts of every socket.

        Running a PC with one graphics card, overall draw at the wall (at idle) is now 97W, and silent.

        Previously had an old 500W Earthwatts ATX supply, it used 121W.

        Before that a 600W Antec poverty grade one- that used 123W but the fan started 'cackling', so it came out. Soon to have a new fan installed and be a backup.

        Gold supplies are far more efficient, especially at low draw.

    This or giga aueros 850 Gold fully mod at $145 delivered?

    • resisting the urge on 08/08/2021 - 21:20

      @mrtee: Yes it's also a good option, but still the tech details are still very thin on that model also. MSI kit is normally pretty decent in my book, but with PSUs, it really depends on the factory/company that actually makes them, production and design is often outsourced- but MSI probably at least design theirs (guessing)

      • mrtee on 08/08/2021 - 21:33

        I just linked the one I'm referring to, not sure to get that or the Silverstone for $149.
        The GiGa PSU is apparently Japanese components.

        • resisting the urge on 08/08/2021 - 22:22

          That is a good find too- I can't see anything wrong with it, except that info is super-thin, exactly as it is with the Gigabyte/MSI ones.

          How much power do you need? Any features you want? Will it always be on? Is noise a problem? Physical size? What about efficiency?

          I've learned always buy verified quality- and beware when specs are not available. Gigabyte kit are normally good, seldom found problems with the kit, just the software. But I doubt their PSUs are going to be up there with the established best, immediately. Are they made in Taiwan? Mainland? What about the specs? So many questions, nahhh, I reckon safer to go w a Silverstone (since I am not shelling out for a Seasonic. Again…)

          EDIT: The internets thinks the Gigabyte is made by MEIC in the PRC. Not sure who they are. There are good reviews around so the Giga looks a decent contender. If you were suggesting EVGA there'd be no question, but Gigabyte and this unit- well, it's real hard to figure it out.

  • Dealzallday on 08/08/2021 - 23:54

    Just because there's a lot of discussion here about MSI PSUs I thought I'd give my 2 cents. Currently own their 750w PSU and have 0 complaints. Besides noise I'm not entirely sure what else there is to compare about personal experience so the PSU is really quiet. If there are any questions I can help answer about user experience I'll be glad to :)

    • resisting the urge on 09/08/2021 - 09:03

      Thanks for your comment @Dealzallday.

      Good designs are expensive to make, have better components, and last longer. Also tend to be very stable. No parts of the circuitry that get overly hot, create noise, etc. In ATX PSUs, a decent fan and fan control is vital, too.

    Scorptec has the SST-SX700-G for $149

    • mrtee on 09/08/2021 - 01:35

      What's the advantage with this one? I'm a newb

      • resisting the urge on 09/08/2021 - 08:33

        Its super compact, for a start. Maybe its a newer model too…?

      • m13 on 09/08/2021 - 22:42

        That G stands for gold, where the PT stands for platinum, all about how efficiently they run.

    How about Thermaltake toughpower gf1 (tier1 if im not wrong) currently $99 Delivered @ centrecom https://www.centrecom.com.au/thermaltake-toughpower-gf1-650w…

    • resisting the urge on 09/08/2021 - 08:12

      Looks pretty decent, but I've never had a Thermaltake PSU, just a few dodgy cases and fans.

    • mrtee on 09/08/2021 - 08:14

      The 850w gold is the same price as Silverstone. Which one is better?

      • resisting the urge on 09/08/2021 - 08:25

        Depending on model, the TT's may be a bit larger physically. Some have a fan that turns off at low load, that can be really great if you leave it on 24x7, so are very modern. I'd be happy with either quality wise.

        • resisting the urge on 09/08/2021 - 14:02
          +1

          As it is Tier 1, I'd go for the TT GF1 over the Silverstones. Especially if the 650W model comes with 2 main caps though. Excellent find!
