Cooler master 500w power supply review năm 2024
|
I have a really bad PSU in my computer, and I am scared to continue using it , as it sounds like an airplane . I barely have any money, but I do have enough for this http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/b-series/b500ver2/. This costs 38euro. It's not the cheapest, but it's the best looking one for it's price. However, this PSU is only made for Europe, so there is not a lot of reviews. That's why I need your help. Thanks.

Decent build but voltage regulation could be much better. Where are you shopping from and what other PSUs do they have available?

What is an 80 plus bronze PSU? What's the difference? Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sites
double post sorry Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sitesCooler master does make good PSU's and I would say that that one should be fine.

Since the PSU is for EU only and only runs off 230V, it can not qualify for 80+ Bronze (or higher) certification regardless of efficiency. However in real-world usage it can achieve what we would call bronze efficiency on a dual-voltage PSU.

uhh okay, that's pretty weird. See, I have a big fear of electricity, and just stuff like this in general , I am really scared of PSU's, that's why after I saw how bad my PSU was, I just turned off my PC, unplugged my power cord, and started looking for a new one. You can call me weird, it's just one of the biggest fears for me Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sitesWhat is an 80 plus bronze PSU? What's the difference? When you see the "80 plus" on a PSU it means the efficiency level for it. There are 4 levels. The one that I would recommend for a value build would be 80 PLUS Bronze. Then you go to 80 PLUS Gold and the best but most expensive is 80 PLUS platinum. The one you have linked is just 80 PLUS which isn't bad just not as efficient as Bronze.

Ok , so I currently have a 400W PSU, my GPU is a GTX 550Ti, so apparently it requires a 500W PSU. I also have an i3-530 Processor, and 4GB of ram , if that matters. If I missed something, just tell me please Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sitesBert & Ernie before squirting spermie.

It's too expensive for me, and I really need my PC Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sitesThe one you have linked is just 80 PLUS which isn't bad just not as efficient as Bronze. Technically it is a bronze and performs like one. Again, it can't qualify for anything higher then 80 Plus, as it's only a single-voltage PSU for EU/230V. Ok , so I currently have a 400W PSU, my GPU is a GTX 550Ti, so apparently it requires a 500W PSU. I also have an i3-530 Processor, and 4GB of ram , if that matters. If I missed something, just tell me please NVidia recommends a 400W PSU for 550Ti, and even then the numbers that the GPU company recommends are pretty much always higher then you need. In reality, your system will never draw more then 300W from the PSU under full load on every single component. Realistic gaming load will be around 250W max. I'd suggest getting one of these. Looks ugly, but it is a Seasonic, and they make great PSUs. http://www.skytech.lt/ss350et-seasonic-ss350et-350w-plus-bronze-p-153083.html Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sites
Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sitesIt's okay. Nothing special. Not even 80 Plus tbh (no idea why page says 80 Plus Bronze, it's not)... I'd trust the Cooler Master more then this though Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sitesThe Cooler Master B500 v2 is an CWT GPA unit internally. It's essentially identical to the lowest end line from Corsair - the VS. Since the PSU is for EU only and only runs off 230V, it can not qualify for 80+ Bronze (or higher) certification regardless of efficiency. However in real-world usage it can achieve what we would call bronze efficiency on a dual-voltage PSU. Actually, the 230v EU standard for desktop PSUs to achieve Bronze is 85/88/85%. Since the Cooler Master B500 can only achieve 86.93% efficiency at 50% load, it got qualify for the standard 80 Plus EU rating. http://www.plugloadsolutions.com/psu_reports/COOLER%20MASTER_RS-500-ACAB-B1_500W_EU-039_Report.pdf If it was a 115v PSU as well, however, it would achieve Bronze like you have said though.

Would it actually still be okay to have a R9 390 connected to this PSU? I'm thinking about an upgrade next year. According to the psu-calculator from bequiet I would have a maximum usage of 422 W with a r9 390 and an i5 4460 which means roughly 85%. I live in the EU, if that matters at all. Does Cooler Master make good power supply?Generally it is a good idea to go with a PSU that has an output around 100 to 150 watts higher than your estimated requirement, to be on the safe side. Cooler Master's GX III Gold is a top-of-the-line PSU with a particularly broad range of wattages, from 650W to 1250W, capable of supporting a wide variety of builds. Who makes power supplies for Cooler Master?Cooler master has power supplies in the E tier and A tier. All PSUs are made by the same handful of OEMs such as Seasonic, CWT, HEC, Super Flower, Gosspower, Enhance etc. Does Cooler Master make good products?Coolermaster, Rosewill, and Thermaltake produce solid power supplies as well, but it's best to avoid their low-end models. 2. It has been certified 80 Plus (at least 80% power efficient). For power users such as gamers and overclockers, the power supply must be at least 80 Plus Gold (87+% power efficient).
