See spreadsheet for changelog, methodology, detailed description of colors, review sources, notes on grayed-out units including issues like GPU incompatibility or quality and performance issues, and other additional info.Ĭheck spreadsheet changelog tab for pending revision or ‘Units index’ tab if you can’t find some model here. Pay attention to rails configuration when using with high power draw components to avoid shutdowns. Multi-rail units – Not necessarily better than single-rail units but provide an extra layer of protection by having 12V OCP set lower than total capacity, which is especially relevant for very high capacity units (=>1kW). Not recommended for purchase over any normal priority units. Low priority subtiers – Lack of info (no reviews) or minor issues (see the corresponding tab in the spreadsheet). Numbers in red colored square brackets – footnotes, see descriptions at the end of respective tiers Square brackets – Additional description (wattage range, part of SKU code, label / casing color, release year) Parenthesis / Round brackets – Model variations (which belong to the same position) Slash – Models (inside one series) separator
