Goddamn. I got the Thermaltake sfx-1000 platinum because Corsair Sf1000 was not in stock. now I see it's F tier. Gonna return it real fast. Thank you to people doing this work

My current build uses a Corsair RMx PSU, my new build (parts will be here today) is using a Corsair RMx PSU, and my next build will probably use one too. You'll pay more, but why cheap out on a power supply when every other component in the box depends on its quality?

You`ve heard the saying I am sure that you need to budget accordingly before you purchase the rest of your equipment! You don`t build your machine and then decide you only have $30 dollars for a PSU! When instead of purchasing that cutting egde video card or cutting edge processor you could have purchased something not quite cutting edge and had money for good psu! India is a place where electronics are more expensive to buy there than elsewhere. They are a developing country and thus running out of budget is precisely a problem there. Their electrical infrastructure is far more flaky, and their codes reflective of a place that can't afford protection...at least one person in Hyderabad died from water and a washing machine because it wasn't grounded.... Here in the U.S now, the rural residents are relatively well-off landowners with access to many amenities, well water notwithstanding. In India, the rural residents are living in far more brutal life. Ebay still has sub-30 dollar Rosewill Capstone 450W modular units, XFX PSUs that use Seasonics, and Seasonics of yesteryear. Between the choice of a new Coolmax or these old reliables, the choice is clearly favorable to the EBay used units of quality.

That unit comes with a 30 day warranty. That, i actually didn't see. My Indonesian isn't that great. It's EOL since Q1 2017 so it's lying on the shelf somewhere for almost 6 years. True, but compared to used (abused) PSUs, this unused PSU, is still far better choice. And it is also better than newer crap sold today. First; I'm not a citizen of the USA. One doesn't need to be citizen of a country, to support it. E.g i don't have Ukrainian citizenship, but that doesn't mean i don't support Ukraine. Second; I give independed PSU recommandations based on proper reviews, self investigation, budget and availablity and not a fanboy of any brand at all. Yet, you're annoyed by everyone else, who's opinion differs from yours. This is 2nd topic of late, where we're having this discussion of PSUs. For PSU discussions, this topic here is better suited for that, link: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/psu-recommendations-and-power-supply-discussion-thread-toms-hardware.3212332/ Third; the most recent Tierlist does include EOL PSUs, your beloved brand for example, the S12II/M12II Like i said, that "latest" is biased. Sure, it does include the old S12II and M12II EVO units, but classifies them as "Avoid", with poor excuse of "have or had UVP issues". While the source linked doesn't include none of the S12II / M12II EVO units. Instead, source consists of Cooler Master, Cougar, XFX and Zalman units. And while you could argue that XFX TX500 is made by Seasonic, well, no. It is designed by Seasonic, but made by Hydance. S12II / M12II EVO units are not equal to XFX TX500 unit, which this biased site is happily applying to Seasonic S12II / M12II EVO units.

Neither the tier list at LTT forum not Cultists.Network are related to Linus, LTT or LMG. This tier list was originally a community project by members of said forum and was simply hosted there, and then it was moved to the dedicated site by the people behind it and the forum thread was abandoned. You can see that a forum member who published the list at LTT forum - Luke Savenije is one of the authors of the tier list article at Cultists.Network. So the tier list at LTT forum is essentially just an older version of the tier list at Cultists.Network.
