Adata XPG CORE REACTOR CREACTOR650G-BKCGB 650W is a modular, 80 Plus Gold power supply unit equipped with 100% Japanese capacitors

Product Information

A 500w psu would be plenty ... the 3060ti peaks at maybe 230w (basically consumes as much as an RX 580 did only now people are exaggerating power requirements) and a 5600x / 5800x won't consume more than 100-120w - so anything that can do 400w or more on 12v output would be plenty. The first thing first is the brand name, obviously, no one is going to buy ₹ 9,694 power supply of some brand that came out of nowhere. Well, for that we can rely on XPG because it is a part of ADATA that has expertise in manufacturing industry-grade products. It is not necessary for big brands to be better. It depends on where the product is in the product line of the brand, for what purpose is it build, and what kind of certification and components it holds. And XPG The CR650 doesn’t deprive of that. It holds the 80PLUS certification only requires the critical 20%, 50%, and 100% load to meet the requirements. Although, certification alone is not a buying factor but increases the reliability and ensures that it will work up to the mark with desktop, workstation, and non-redundant server applications. For more info on 80 Plus Certification see Wikipedia. A definite asset is its extremely shallow depth of only 140 mm. This is PSU downsizing at its best since you have 850 W of power in a compact enclosure that will easily fit into any ATX case. This will also make installation easier as it helps make up for the stiff modular cables. Here is the PSU in various loading conditions which includes a 12900, RTX 4090 and RTX 3090 all loaded. The PassMark Inline power tester only capture 1 PCIe pair but the system is drawing around 900W. I was hoping to get another RTX 3080 Ti in the mix but we don’t have another slot available. Under lighter loads, the fans on the CyberCore remain fairly quiet. This ramps up to hum at 900W+ of load which is a win for both XPG and their Nidec partnership, proving that its not just a pure PR move. The main PSU unit gets fairly warm at higher loads but barely goes above case ambient with anything lower than 400W XPG Core Reactor 850 Gold Coming to other key things that are important, the quality of components used in a Power supply unit; CR650 uses Japanese capacitors to offer longer shelf life to the product; the areas between various key components are divided quite clearly and the protection between the same is relatively tight, therefore controlled interference. Furthermore, the 10-year warranty shows the brand’s confidence in the quality of the power supply that’s why they are offering such a long period of support.

This power supply arrived at a time before the RTX 4090 and RTX 3090 Ti so it does not come with a 12+4 pin power connector but the PSU supports it thru the power adapter supplied by the graphics card if you own one. We waited years for a competitor to dethrone Corsair's AX1500i, and in the end it was another Corsair power supply to post higher overall performance. The Corsair AX1600i is the best PSU that money can buy today, period. It offers top performance in all areas and uses an innovative platform, which provides a glimpse at the future of power supply design. While double forward may be less efficient than other topologies, bigger heatsinks and/or better fans can easily counteract the few percent of efficiency loss and still have a reasonable power supply. DC-DC Converters:2x UBIQQM3054M6(30V, 61A @ 100°C, 4.8mOhm) & 2x UBIQ QN3107M6N (30V, 70A @ 100°C, Rds(on): 2.6mOhm)At 140mm long, the CyberCore is relatively of standard size. This size applies for all capacity so sizing is uniform across the different wattages so you should be able to compare with photos on the web if you need to measure for your build. Again, please allow for some bend space as the modular plugs do take up space. The Core Reactor is the upper mainstream power supply offering from XPG. Available in 650W, 750W and 850W capacities, and rated with Cybenetics efficiency rating of Platinum and noise rating of A-, the XPG Core Reactor was a good first stab at the PSU game from XPG.

Panasonic SA-PMX94 / Realtek onboard + B&O speaker system / Harman Kardon Go + Play / Logitech G533A 650w psu would give you plenty of margin and will keep the psu from spinning fans high and make lots of noise.

The XPG CORE REACTOR is a modular, 80 Plus Gold power supply unit equipped with 100% Japanese capacitors. Combined with Line Level Control (LLC) resonant topology, it is power-efficient, reliable and makes creating a tidy build easy. After testing with different loads, I thought it is better to give a real perspective that an ordinary consumer should have in mind before buying a PSU. Because he or she won’t go through a long list of numbers of the test results unless and until the person is highly a geek. Moreover, it is not practical for a general gamer or user to get all professional equipment to test various voltage and current factors to buy just a single Power supply unit. Therefore, let’s talk about the real things which one should see before buying a PSU unit for an expensive Motherboard and GPUs of a PC.Infineon IPA60R190P6 (600V, 12.7A @ 100°C, Rds(on): 0.190Ohm) &1xSPN5003FET (for reduced no-load consumption)

Electrolytic: 8x Nippon Chemi-Con (4-10,000h @ 105°C, KY), 2x Nippon Chemi-Con (105°C, W), 1x Nippon Chemi-Con (1-5,000h @ 105°C, KZE), 1x Rubycon (4-10,000h @ 105°C, YXJ) The XPG CyberCore 1300 Platinum also comes a large assortment of SATA and MOLEX connectors which with the SATA cables up to 16 connectors on the 1300W and 12 on the 1000W. All Core Reactor models have two EPS connectors, so they are suitable for high-end mainboards, including those equipped with AMD's X570 chipset. A few years ago, only server mainboards required a pair of EPS connectors. However, the comparatively higher CPU core count with today's high-end processors lead to an increase in the power delivery capacity of the corresponding VRMs and, consequently, power consumption. This means a single EPS connector isn't enough anymore, especially for high-end CPUs like the AMD Ryzen 9 3900x and 3950x. I already evaluated the XPG Core Reactor with 750 W, so it is nigh time to take a look at the strongest member of the line. These units are based on a Channel Well Technology (CWT) platform and are not only 80 PLUS Gold certified, but also have Cybenetics efficiency and noise badges. To be more specific, the Core Reactor 850 W meets their ETA-A and LAMBDA-A- rating requirements, which means it is efficient and very quiet overall. Yeah, so just like I assumed, it's a High Power / Sirtec OEM design, which means the power supply should have average/good performance for a good price.XPG CORE REACTOR SERIES is certified by Cybenetics for its efficiency and noise level, scoring at the top of its category in both ETA and LAMBDA standards.
