8 Shocking Mistakes in Power Supply Selection

Hello friends, welcome to our new blog. In this, we will talk about how to choose a in power supply for your PC. Which one is modular, which one is non-modular, which one has 80+ gold certification, and which one has 80+ platinum certification? You might have many such questions in your mind. We are going to answer all of them today. If you are confused about choosing a processor, you can read our blog on how to choose a processor. If you are confused about the motherboard, click on Motherboard to get complete knowledge about Motherboard.

how do you know how many watts of power supply your PC needs?

First of all, we will talk about how you will know how many watts of power supply your PC needs. If you just want to know how many watts of power supply you need, and you don’t want to know anything about the power supply, then you can directly click on Calculator and you will go directly to the power supply calculator website. You will find a calculator below, where you have to choose your components, and there you will get the result of how many watts of power supply you need.

You should take a power supply of 100 to 200 watts more than the number you get there so that if you want to upgrade your PC in the future, you can easily do it. If you want to know how to find out yourself without any calculator how many watts of power supply you need, then there is no difficult task in that too. Simply put, whatever components you want to install in your PC, you need to go to the official website of the component, check the details of the component, and there you will find out the power consumption of this component in watts.

Similarly, find out about the power supply of all your components, and whatever the total is, choose a power supply with 100 to 200 watts more. Now it is not necessary that you always have to take a higher power supply, you can also take a power supply equal to the load, and you will not have any problem in running it. But if you want to upgrade in the future, then you might face a problem.

How many safety protections do you get in the power supply?

After this comes the matter of safety protections. How many safety protections do you get in the power supply? You can get a maximum of 6 types of protection in the power supply, such as OCP, OTP, OVP, OPP, UVP, and SCP. You will find written on the box of the product how many safety protections are available in it. There is nothing to worry about in this; the more protections you get, the longer your power supply will last.

Certifications

After this comes the certifications. This simply means how efficient this power supply is.

• First comes 80 Plus – This power supply will be 80% efficient at 100% load.
• 80 Plus Bronze – This power supply will be 82% efficient at 100% load.
• 80 Plus Silver – This power supply will be 85% efficient at 100% load.
• 80 Plus Gold – This power supply will be 87% efficient at 100% load.
• 80 Plus Platinum – This power supply will be 89% efficient at 100% load.
• 80 Plus Titanium – This power supply will be 90% efficient at 100% load.

which type of power supply you should buy

Now we will tell you which type of power supply you should buy: Fully modular, Semi-modular, or Non-modular. None of these three will affect your power supply; they are mainly used for cable management. In a fully modular power supply, you can order all the cables as per your requirements. In a non-modular power supply, the cables are directly attached to the power supply, and you cannot order them as per your requirement. It mainly depends on your budget. If you do not have budget issues, you can buy a fully modular power supply. If your budget is a little less, you can also buy semi-modular and non-modular power supplies.

What is PCIe 5.0 ready?

You can also call it 5th Gen; this is the new standard of PCIe. In this generation, you get to see double the bandwidth compared to the previous generation.
