Pros

  • i went for a higher wattage psu as i know that the cpu and gpu can spike in wattage for a couple seconds at a time, it is the retail version and i did see the cooler but i wasnt sure if it would have been powerfull enough.
  • Corsair RM850e (2025) 850 W Fully Modular ATX Power Supply 184.99

  • I also recommend the Montech Century II and Corsair RM850e (2025) at this budget, (theyre about £10-15 cheaper), but BeQuiet is very renown for their PSUs being near silent even under heavy load.

Cons

  • The one right now? Yeah nah, fuck that overpriced downgraded POS.
  • RMe has issues.
  • I’m on the fence about testing or not testing my Corsair RM850e (2025). I’ve seen how to do the paperclip test but I’ve also seen some advice that it’s mostly useless other than determining if the power supply turns on or not.
  • So my psu is a corsair rm850e (2025)
