Many players struggle to choose a power supply. Many newbies will think that the appearance of power supplies is similar, and power supplies with the same power provide the same power support. Why should they buy expensive power supplies? The power supply of the game console is very important. Some game players will also struggle. Some people say that a power supply of 1 yuan per watt is stable, but this will be too much for the budget. Can I choose a cheaper product when playing games? Then we will tell you how to choose the power supply of the game console. In fact, when players choose a power supply, the first thing they must consider is the rated power. The reason why we emphasize "rated power" instead of simply "power" is because there is an article here. The rated power on the parameter nameplate is reliable. The power we choose for the power supply is mainly based on the TDP of the CPU and graphics card. Adding a margin of about 60W can be used as the maximum value of the 12V output power. If the +12V output of the power supply is If there are multiple channels, the power consumption of the CPU and graphics card cannot be greater than the power consumption of a single 12V output. The total power needs to be added to the CPU and graphics card with 120W of other hardware and margin to ensure the stability of long-term use. A 500W power supply is the favorite of gamers. For most gamers, the TDP of the CPU is around 95W, while the graphics card is mostly 200W. With the remaining power, the power is about 420W. Considering that the fans and hard drives used by gamers will be more expensive. More, so most players use 450W-500W power supplies. The rated power of Huntkey WD500K is 500W, which can meet the power supply needs of mainstream game players. The single 12V output reaches 40A or 480W, which can provide sufficient power supply support for mainstream hardware. There is no problem with the rated power, but compatibility must be considered. Most power supplies on the market are ATX size, which is 150 mm wide and 86 mm high. However, different products have different lengths, which will result in the inability to install a long power supply in some small chassis. Compact design can be accommodated in all ATX chassis. Huntkey WD500K power supply adopts standard ATX size, with the shortest length of 140 mm, and can be installed in all ATX standard chassis without considering compatibility issues. Players who pay attention to the use effect will route the power supply to the backplane. In larger chassis, the backline also has many requirements for the power supply. First, the power cable must be long enough to lead to a beautiful backline. In addition, there must be enough strength, not easy to break. Sufficient cable length is convenient for players to carry back cables. The cables of Huntkey WD500K power supply motherboard, CPU, graphics card and other modules all reach 50 cm, which can be very convenient for back cable routing in large-sized chassis. The power supply lines of different hardware are protected by black braided mesh for better stability and durability. An intuitive certification of Huntkey WD500K's conversion efficiency and power efficiency is the 80Plus certification, which is divided into white, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and titanium gold medals. The conversion efficiency increases in order. Generally, gold certification is a product with very good energy-saving performance, and the price is also Not too high, suitable for most players. Standby power consumption of Huntkey WD500K In the actual evaluation, the conversion efficiency distribution of Huntkey WD500K almost coincides with that of the Platinum gold medal, which has exceeded the gold medal level, reflecting the positioning of the product. In actual use, it can reduce heat and noise while saving energy. You certainly don’t want your computer to fail at a critical moment, so the stability of the power supply also needs to be considered. This is mainly reflected by the internal design and materials used. Huntkey WD500K power supply internal design EMI filter circuit Huntkey WD500K power supply internal design is neat, and the overall materials are very solid. The power supply adopts active PFC+LLC resonance+DC toDC architecture, and the secondary EMI circuit is complete to ensure higher conversion efficiency. , while also providing stable output. PFC capacitors and closed inductors For gamers, the choice of power supply is related to the stability of the whole machine, so they should not be greedy for cheap, but should choose products with guaranteed quality. When purchasing, they should also choose regular channels to avoid being cheated. . If you have relatively high power requirements and do not need a full-module product, you can consider the Huntkey WD500K gold medal power supply. The power supply I use is an old brand, Delta dual-channel power supply, and the hardware is safe and guaranteed.

When purchasing a desktop power supply, you must first look at your computer configuration. The status of power supply is very important. If you accidentally choose an inferior product, it may burn the hardware or cause huge economic losses. It is said that once you buy a power supply, it can be used as a family heirloom, so I also recommend choosing a better quality one when buying a power supply.

When I installed a computer for a friend some time ago, I recommended the Cooler Master New Thunder 500W. Because it is configured with i5 9400f+GTX1660Ti, it is just right to choose 500W. There are many reasons for choosing Cooler Master's new Thunder, mainly the following: Cooler Master's brand is trustworthy. Cooler Master itself has a very good reputation among DIYers. It is a well-known brand in itself. Its chassis, power supply, and cooling The products are loved by everyone. Cooler Master has a pretty good reputation among DIYers, so people who buy their products naturally feel more confident. The feedback from Cooler Master New Thunder has been very good since it was launched. As an entry-level white brand power supply, Cooler Master New Thunder has good safety, conversion rate and stability. At the same time, in terms of safety certification, products that comply with national regulations must have 3C certification. You can’t get them without this certification. There have been news about computers catching fire before. Sitting in front of the computer, suddenly the power supply burned out and the computer caught fire. Just thinking about it is scary. At the same time, Cooler's products have also passed CE certification, which is equivalent to the EU's 3C certification. Better brands like Cooler Master and New Thunder are usually equipped with independent protection chips to prevent power overload, short circuit and other problems. Moreover, it is convenient to choose a brand with a good reputation such as Cooler Master to facilitate after-sales service. Cooler Master New Thunder supports 3 years of after-sales service. If you have any questions, please contact the manufacturer. Great~ The power supply supports the latest specifications and has a long life. Maybe your computer wants to be replaced or It has been upgraded and the power supply still works well. There is a famous saying in DIY: A good power supply is a family heirloom. Cooler Master New Thunder has been fully upgraded to support the ATX 2.52 specification, which means that it can support new hardware in the future, whether it is a new CPU from Intel or AMD, or a new graphics card from NVIDIA or AMD. Some students currently don’t have much money on hand and want to buy some things for use first and then upgrade them one by one in the future. So here I suggest that you buy a power supply with a larger power. I suggest my friend to buy 500W. If you plan to upgrade your computer configuration in the future, 650W may be a better choice and the price is more affordable. Moreover, the power supply supports the ATX 2.52 specification and can support various new hardware in the future, so it will last longer. White Label Certification Gold Heart In order to differentiate product positioning, entry-level power supplies are all white label certified. You may think that Silver and Gold would be better, but considering the budget, Silver and Gold power supplies may not be so attractive. However, although Cooler Master New Thunder is certified by 80PLUS as a white label, it uses a gold medal-like structure: LLC+SR+DC-DC structure. This structure cannot be said to be the most advanced at present, but for a white label It's already quite luxurious. The LLC transformer structure can effectively improve the conversion efficiency of the power supply. The DC-DC module can reduce the interference of each branch power supply circuit to other circuits. Taken together, the LLC+SR+DC-DC structure can more effectively improve the power conversion efficiency and reduce unnecessary power loss. This structure is more durable and stable for white-brand power supplies, and is considered a relatively good structure. Ultra-high energy efficiency For an 80PLUS white-label power supply, if the load conversion rate reaches 80% at 20%, 50%, and 100%, it has reached the standard. But even if Cooler Master New Thunder 500W is an 80PLUS white-label certified power supply , but its conversion rate actually reached 90%, which is close to the gold medal conversion rate. Such a conversion rate is quite strong among white brand power supplies. Silent fan In addition to materials, structure, certification, and conversion rate, the other factor to judge the quality of a power supply is noise. You may not think the noise matters at first, but after using it for a period of time, your tolerance for noise will become lower and lower, because it will really seriously affect the experience of using it. It's okay if you are playing games, after all, many people wear headphones.

But if the power supply is "whirring" for tasks that do not require high performance, such as watching movies or surfing the Internet, it is really terrible. You can't wear headphones all the time, right? Cooler Master New Thunder uses brand-new technology, the fan will stop under low load to avoid noise. Of course, if the load becomes higher, the fan will rotate to ensure normal heat dissipation of the power supply. Black flat wire is more beautiful. Cooler Master's new Thunder uses a brand new black flat wire. The advantage is that it will not be painful when routing, and it will not affect the aesthetics and avoid making the inside of the chassis a mess. The new Thunder also supports dual-channel 4+4pin CPU power supply, so even if you want to use X570 or Z390 in the future, it will be no problem. However, if you want to use high-power-consuming hardware like 3900X or 2080Ti, you need to consider whether the power of the power supply is enough. Summary: If you want to buy your own power supply, especially an entry-level power supply, if you have difficulty choosing, it is recommended to directly purchase the Cooler Master New Thunder series. It is full of materials and has 80PLUS white label certification, but it has a conversion rate that is close to gold medal. It is a A better choice. If you are a freshman and want to assemble a console to play games and study in the future; or if you want to assemble a console to use at home or even purchase for a small company, you can consider Cooler Master New Thunder. It is not recommended to buy Xingu, especially the cheap Xingu half-module. Back then, I bought a Xingu 299 half-module power supply for cheap. In a year and a half, I bought two Z170 motherboards. Fortunately, they were both under warranty, so I replaced them with Hainan. Yun's full module is fine. To sum up, for non-modules, choose Great Wall or Huntkey. For modules, choose Corsair or Haiyun. I don't recommend brands at least for prices above 600. I only tell you how to choose! First look at how many power supply interfaces are needed for the independent graphics card. Generally, 6 power supplies of about 450W are enough, and it supports 8 power supplies. Secondly, look at the graphics card power. Generally, look at the power above and below 175W. This is probably a watershed. For the above, a 550W power supply is recommended, and for the following, it is basically 450W. A friend wants to say, is the 500 one useless? I want to say, if the brand has a good reputation, how many of them would you recommend? Then check whether you are ready to upgrade. If you are planning to upgrade the graphics card in the future, it is recommended to directly use a power supply that meets the power consumption of 1070Ti. After all, the nominal power supply has to be discounted, but the discount is smaller for better ones. Finally, to overturn all the above statements ~ without a graphics card ~ 300W is enough, and there is no plan to use a dedicated graphics card. Finally, I would like to emphasize that there are only a few big brands with good reputations. Buy more expensive ones for peace of mind and buy after-sales services. The power supply is an important part of the computer. It converts 220V AC power into DC power and is a device specifically used to power computer accessories such as CPU, motherboard, hard drive, memory stick, graphics card, optical disk drive, etc. It is the hub for powering various computer components. Currently on the market, there are many power supply manufacturers, brands, and wattages. The stability of the power supply determines whether your computer works stably. For computer DIY enthusiasts, you must choose a power supply that suits you: Common brands include Great Wall, Huntkey, Cooler Master, Goldfield, etc. I think Great Wall and Huntkey are good because the company has used a lot of power supplies from these brands, and some power supplies have not broken down after more than ten years of use. It is very important to choose the appropriate power when buying a power supply. Power supplies with high rated power are generally more expensive. Generally, personal computers use 350W, 450W, 500W, 750W, 950W, and 1000W. The choice of a computer with high or low power depends on the configuration of your computer and the What kind of use are you doing? For example, for general office use, 350W-450W is enough. If you play 3D games, it is recommended to use 500W or more. Hope the above is helpful to you.

How to choose a desktop power supply? Adhering to the principle of only buying second-hand, not new, you can buy a cheap and practical power supply. I recommend you several frequently used power supplies. The first one is Panshi 500. This power supply can be used no matter what. It costs about 50 yuan on Taobao or Xianyu, and of course there is no free shipping

Although it is a second-hand power supply, ask if it has been cleaned when you buy it. Even if there is dust in the power supply, you should not buy it. That kind of cleaned power supply, and when you buy it, you must let it be returned or exchanged without reason within seven days, otherwise you should not buy it. If you use a high-power graphics card or processor, then you can choose Panshi 600, Panshi 800, and 600. The price is more than 50, and the price of Panshi 800 is 100

Finally, it is worth mentioning that don’t think that second-hand power supplies are inferior. Server power supplies like this are more durable than those you buy for less than 200. More, of course you can also buy brand new ones. We are happy to answer your questions. First of all, what we need to understand is that a computer is equivalent to a car. The same engine matched with different differentials will have different power and comfort. Therefore, when we configure the computer to obtain superior comfort, it depends on your needs. The four original components of the CPU, graphics card, memory module, and hard disk are connected through the motherboard. Different configurations also produce different textures. It doesn’t have to be the best accessories to match the best comfort. After all, cost-effectiveness is what we care about. Here are two recommendations for you. Configuration one: CPU AMD Ryzen5 1400 Quad-core eight-thread radiator AMD original radiator motherboard Gigabyte B450M GAMING Memory ADATA 16G 2666 DDR4 Graphics card Zotac GTX1060-6GD5 Destroyer storage GALAXY 240G SSD chassis Xingu Guangyun 7 plus Configuration two: CPU intel Core i5 9400F (9th generation) Radiator Kyushu Fengshen Xuanbing 400 Motherboard Gigabyte B360 M AORUS PRO Memory Kingston Hacker 8G 2666 Graphics card GALAXY GTX1660 General 6G Storage Intel 760P 256G M.2 NVME Chassis Xingu Guangyun 7 plus Power supply Antec BP500 rated 500W Finally, we attach several ladder diagrams for your reference and understanding. For memory sticks and hard drives, of course choose the Kingston brand. Divide the price by the wattage (brand new). Generally, 0.3 or above is a no-name brand. For example, if the product is above 0.6 in Jinhetian, it is actually quite good. There are not so many risks. The quality may not be very good. 0.8 or above is basically a good power supply. Here are a few brands recommended by Great Wall. Xingu Big Buffalo Patriot, etc. If it is second-hand, there is 350W in the seafood market for more than 40 years old. For small homes, it is basically enough for 70 years old. 450W is available. If you have an independent graphics card, pay attention to whether it has an independent power supply. Be sure to choose it, otherwise it will fail Haiyun Delta. For the Zhenhua Bronze Medal, I chose Haiyun and Zhenhua based on power.
