Can You Trust 80 Plus?

id never trust thermaltake. you get their bit cheaper 700w models and the box just smells burnt and like bad electronics. makes the whole room smell burnt when running it. had many do it

Corsair did this witrh a 750w bronze I got

I was expecting this videos sponsor to be SeaSonic

No plug for LTT Labs?

Fun fact (or not so fun) it's not efficiency its power factor. I can't remember verbatim why but I was lectured to remember specifically that so it's gotta have some value

I just bought Corsair RM850, is it good good?

Short answer: no

I only trust seasonic

just bought an NZXT 1000w psu and as soon as I powerd it on it blew. GG!

That aircraft has piston engines, not turboprops. Turboprops are more closely related to jet engines then traditional engines.

Link to "Cybernetcis Rating System"... Is still missing.
How about to edit the video description?
Sponsors and Merch is more important then the message in the video?
Well done LTT. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I look for the brand rather than 80 Plus logo, especially after Gagabite explosion.

why no one did sue them for false advertising, if on box its 600w i expect 600w next 3 years constantly

Cybenetics also has a certification system that goes beyond just efficiency and they even have a database where you can actually look up the components and construction of the PSU thats certified. It's high time we give others the recognition they need in order for companies to want to be certified by them and start using their standard. In Brazil some of the national "makers" are already doing this.

True and real.
My rtx 3060 had power line led blinking with 700wat 80 plus (not even bronze) then i upgraded 750wat golden and newer tech and problem was fixed. And ye I should mention it's asus strix card that has that extra red led for errors.. and the previous PSU was able run all games without any crashes or wierd stutters too but apparently was using higher voltage trying to achieve same which occured as error in end any way and not letting GPU really never go over 180wats and blinking started around 170wat peak loads even, but with newer supply and newest drivers it can go high as 190wat easily with slighty lower voltage on gpu by automaticly and trouble free.

I have a Corsair HX620w. It used to feed a e6750 cpu and a 8800gt back in the day, then a q9550 and a gtx 680, now it feeds a i3 9100f and a rtx 3060. So it's a 16 years old psu still working silently, without any problem.

Just a note on the Cybnetics noise testing, it's done at 30-32° celsius ambient, meaning you should still look up seperate reviews for more modest noise data if you use your PC in a cooler environment.

What now is it 70 minus

People keep saying to not cheap out on psus

Why not just tell me the good cheap ones then??

Damm PC gamers never really thought about budget smh

did this guy have a stroke or something

Can’t believe the future of power supply standards decided to name themselves after a fucking typo

I've seen even Platinum units with F-tier caps. So no, a Gold or better certificate doesn't automatically make a PSU better.

this is the best fuc** video about 80+ certefication congrazt for me you re the only one who explain it correctly

where is all the testing of products from your labs?
i dont think i have seen one video from it

90 plus is best, lol Corsair PSU and products crap, never have I had a worse experience aside from ASUS.

Anyone have a feeling Linus tech tips is going to start giving LTT ratings from the lab testings. How long until manufacturers print that on the box?

80 PLUS measures at 10, 20, 50 and 100% and includes Power Factor, PF at all of those levels. You can download and sort all of that information from all tests from the website for free. Thus a consumer can sort on every/any level of data desired. As for cherry picking, which happens in most 3rd party testing programs, 80 PLUS has a challenge process within industry as well as an audit process since 2005.

You can go cheap in just about everything in your computer under the right conditions, but never, never the power supply. The difference between a pipe-bomb and a crappy cheap Chinese power supply is that one was actually meant to plow up

πάμε να τα κάνουμε όλα Cybenetics να τελείωνουμε. άντε ντε!!

My new Power Supply is called a 420watt Thermal Master which had No 80 rating that the seller on ebay call an OEM Cool Master?????? I can't find anything on it. It wasn't a New build it just my 15 year old DRS stop working one day. Standards are great. Made in 2010, so 12-13 years ago, only had a six pin for the GPU, but had 20-24 Motherboard and 4-8 pin CPU I was sad to see it go.

Just buy seasonic or fsp =D

About time for 90 plus then :D

"The extra wattage... goes back to the grid"
That is bs. The only way it could "go back to the grid" is as reactive power which has to be compensated and thus is undesired and effectively also using energy on your end.

well in the other vids i saw that 80+ stuff isn't really mean much, because they only represent how much of power draw could occur in certain load, but they didn't mean it's really have great build quality, good PSU usually came with a heavier weight which means they could probably build better than average manufacturer.

Very well explained. Best explanation I have seen so far. Thank you.

Picking a CPU is hard since there are so many things to take into account and there are so many different models. The same goes for GPUs. The same goes for RAM. And for storage. And for the motherboard.
And then all components have to be well balanced on performance and price. Adding the complexity of a PSU to this makes it only more confusing since it's so hard to find proper data and consistent data to compare different power supplies.

It's good to recommend this kind of thorough research for the people who like to dig into all of that, but what advice would you give to people who are new to pc building and who already overwhelmed by the amount of things they need to keep in mind and take into consideration?
If you spread doubt and confusion like this, I would like to know exactly how I can easily avoid major mistakes while still keeping things as simple as possible

I have a 5950x and a 4090 was wondering if the Seasonic Vertex ATX 3.0 80 Plus Gold 1000W Power Supply is a good choice? Just trying to find the best fit.

Bought a Silverstone DA1000R 1000 watts Gold power supply with Cybenetics Gold rating absolutely love it its so quiet even on load can barely hear it only if i move close enough to the power supply didnt come cheap though.

shut up on trying to make me spend more on psu

I bought deep cool PL650D which is 80+ bronze

Had a Gigabyte P450B. Used GTX1650 6pin variant with it. Gave out after warranty period was over, it cannot hold itself at all during gaming and restarts. While the AC side had an 85°C Teapo capacitor, the DC side had some Chn Cap and other no name 105°C capacitors. It was advertised as having Japanese capacitors in it.

test with gtx 1080 ti

I dont get it...i have a 80 plus psu for 7 years nothing wrong has happened...got it for 70€

There's something about looking and listening to these people from LTM that activates an irrational Neanderthal rage in me
