  • I don’t know if I’m really defending the product. It seems odd to me that 4 bad reviews are enough for people to completely discount the product. Especially when its highly rated by reputable sources (like Tom’s Hardware) and at least A grade on various tier lists.

    Heck even Amazon reviews are decent.

    For my specific case I’m close to around 800w in the max case with my current build; though it rarely hits that high point. In idle, it’s much less though. I just wanted a bit of headroom for the future.

    Now for the Platinum vs Gold, I’ve done a bit of chatgpt math here. The theory is it would save me about $10-$11 bucks a year in energy usage. I plan on running it for about the full 10 year warranty span if not longer. It’ll be on 99% of the time. If that math is even ~half right, it pays for the difference for me. For Platinum, this is the cheapest on pcpartpicker: .

    I find it hard to believe that the tier lists, review sites, amazon reviews, are all wrong based off ~4 bad walmart.com reviews.

    idk.
