Got my new build finally spec'd out on PC PartPicker and had compromised on an EVGA B3 full modular 550w unit. Now it's not in stock today. I can't find a PSU that's reputable with the options I want in stock anywhere. Looking for at least 80+ bronze, full modular, prefer FLAT cables and a reputable manufacturer, at least 550W. Someone HELP me find one.

If you knew anyone who had a MicroCenter near them and they'd do you a huge favor, MC seems to have at least a bit more stock than anyone else I've found. Of course, it's the bit more spendy power supplies still in stock, but stuff like Corsair RM650x and 750x, Seasonic Focus Gold and Focus Plus Gold in various outputs....at least at the two MC's in ATL.

Wow, i knew they were getting scarce but geez. Just looked at Newegg and Amazon and nothing to be found. Like Meghan said, Microcenter seems to be the only one with any in stock (although only in store).

What options are you wanting where even a B3 is a compromise?

Amazon has nada. And that's mostly their own fault.

Newegg is pretty stocked.

They have the Corsair RM650x, RM750x.... Antec Neo Eco Zen 600W,

Mind you, they all say ships within 5 to 10 days, but they don't say "out of stock" like everything else.

You can get the HX750i or HX850 directly from Corsair.

HX850, $184.99: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categ...-Units/hxi-series-2017-config/p/CP-9020138-NA

HX750i, $204.99: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categ...upply-Units/hxi-series-config/p/CP-9020072-NA

Keep in mind the 750W is the "i" version and that's why it's more expensive.

Their stock was pretty low the other day, so I went back to look what they got back in stock. Even though it shows the item in stock (not the usual "sold out" note under the item), when you click on individual units they are from 3rd party sellers or have something like this

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-rmx-series-rm750x-cp-9020179-na-750w/p/N82E16817139233

I don't see any open box HX1000's. Just used ones.

If you want to see how a PSU performs at a particular load, just look at the Cybenetics reports on cybenetics.com.

HX1000: ftp://members.cybenetics.report/PDF_Reports/d/cybenetics_shI.pdf
the ftp link doesnt work for me but im at work so maybe thats why.

found 10 of these for sale. 208$ tho https://www.ebay.com/itm/Seasonic-S...373365&hash=item2cc7c95878:g:RAIAAOSwx7VasL96

most likely i wont use 600w in my system so its closer to what i should use or just slap the 1000w for the same price and call it a day

the cables look REALLY NICE. i sure hope it comes with the blue and black like shown here https://www.anandtech.com/show/1152...itanium-600-w-12year-warranty-80plus-titanium
(again im at work so loads of webpages dont work like jonnyguru review of it ;(

/ edit nope it has plain black flat cables which stupidly was the biggest selling point of the psu for me (with out seeing a decent review) damn

Meaning it’s got rolled cables, would prefer flat, short of getting custom cables made and it’s bronze instead of gold.

Lots of parts are coming in short supply now. Prices are also going up. Power supplies, video capture cards, and other parts that have less total factories making them are all mostly out of stock and up 20% to 50% in prices right now. Kind of a bummer.

Why are psu's so squeezed in supply? Is it due to the coronavirus factory shutdowns?

A number of things caused a domino effect.

The virus broke out right after Chinese New Year. So nobody could get back to work. Even after the factories were allowed to open up, it took a long time for the supply chain to all fall back into place. So even if you have healthy workers to assemble PSUs, you still need the guys to make the capacitors, the heatsinks, the ICs, etc.

So NOW the supply chain is back in place and you can build PSUs, you have to get that product out of China.

Good luck!

Freight typically ships under passengers in passenger jets. But with fewer passengers, there's fewer flights. And what flights there are, they're stuffing full of medical supplies! So while it used to cost maybe $5 to ship something (as part of a larger order, of course), it now costs 10x that!

So you use FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc. jets.... Well, not only is that typically more expensive, but now you have to take the products out further to a port that supports those carriers since they're not at every airport. Example: Fedex only has 12 hubs including their Memphis facility. You have to take that additional transportation cost and time into account now.

So you decide to put the product on the water. More expensive than usual, but still cheaper than air freight But a ship from China to the U.S. takes four to six weeks! And when the virus hit and those boats came back into port, they didn't turn them back around with more cargo like they usually do. They closed the ports and quarantined the workers! So for a long time there's been fewer boats on the water to move the merchandise!

after a week of searching i grabbed a t2 titanium 850watt evga supernova for 133 after taxes and shipping on ebay. i see most psu's going for more a few going for less and missed the openbox hxi i was looking at, ill get another psu (hxi) after watching another week or two for a good buy it now. Everyone also is staying at home and getting checks from the government so you hear of people buying buying buying more pc's and laptops. work from home ;/

(its not flat cables tho round )

That's a good price for a NEW unit. But on eBay? Is that really new? Does it have a warranty?

You can get an HX70 on Newegg for $155: https://www.newegg.com/corsair-hx-s...817139206?Item=N82E16817139206&quicklink=true
sadly it wasnt new, i dont really care about warranty really because i wont be maxing this thing out, i read your review from 2016 and figured the oldest it could be is 4 years so im ok with another 6 years of use. (never had any power supply die except for laptop power bricks ((that doesnt really count does it))

i will still try to register it i guess if its just a add serial number kinda thing but im not worried and enjoy the gamble of used hardware, (super lucky and would rather have a titanium 850w used then a new 750w platinum for 155+7ship+tax=$175.88 ) over 42$ more ((plus i didnt know newegg even had any in stock ;/

$133 is WAY TO MUCH for a used unit with a limited warranty. But, good luck.
30% less then the hx750 for a better/ more powerful power supply? i guess you should know what the chances of a power supply dying are better then me but out of 20+ ive never had one die in 20 years and i had some that where covered in feathers/ soot / ran on dirty power etc. to be honest i didnt know newegg even had the hx750 in stock and if i did know might still have bought the used one idk and to late now. the 133 was shipping / tax / supply and demand, titanium psu's seem to be 200+$ new (if you can even find it in stock) so almost half price didnt seem bad
i pay 45 cents kwh or more usually.

What state is that? HI?

Edit: To keep my post on-topic, I stocked up on a few EVGA "White" 500W PSUs, with 2x 6+2-pin PCI-E cables (supposedly, according to Newegg listed, I haven't opened one yet). I figure, those are enough for a basic browser build that's not a giveaway, or a GPU / Gamer build with a single GPU. They were $40 ea., plus ship (plus tax).

Also, sadly, bought a couple of $27 Apevia "Captain" PSUs, "470W" (and I put that in quotes), NO PCI-E, basically, for giveaway builds, or basic APU builds for browser-boxes.

Almost bought some of those 500W RaidMax "Cobra" PSUs, those had ONE PCI-E 6+2-pin connector. But only three eggs. Figured that the EVGA 500W units that I had already purchased were better.

those are the ones id fear of course you dont want a warranty since it most likely will take out a component with it and you will decide to never use it again heh.. im in california and we do tier usage, so first tier will be like 25 cents then 35 cents then 45 cents then more! i was happy to pay 133 for my psu ;P
