Some units won't be returning, due to discontinuation and / or too old.Ī PSU cleanup is scheduled for January 31st 2016. Stay away from units with close to no safety switches at all, for the safety of you and others around you.Īll PSUs will be colored in co-ordination of the Ecova 80+ efficiency ratings (true efficiency only) below -Īgain, all PSUs are researched by reading professional, unbiased reviews with the correct testing equipment. Perform critical research on your desired PSU to make sure it is safe to use with all safety switches, such as over-temperature protection included. Safety - A power supply must be capable of working without short circuiting or causing any serious harm to you or others around you if it fails. Perform research on your desired PSU to see if it can reach its labelled efficiency rating. A power supply that can't must be avoided.Įfficiency - Although not really relevant to the quality or the stability of any power supply, but it can contribute to saving money on energy bills and can even be close to virtually silent.
Stability - A power supply that can output it's wattage and ampere current at a stable temperature and beyond or below capable with minimal ripple and without shutting down shows that the unit is more than capable of powering any PC within it's labelled wattage.
Low quality components can affect the life of the unit and all components of your PC. This list looks at the main and critical sectors of a Power Supply Unit -Ĭomponents - Higher quality components means more stable functionality, thus longer life on power supply and components of PC.
