Hi,
I live in Europe/Poland, many people recommend XFX XTR PSUs here.
I've read some super-old 2009 year review about XFX Black XTR PSU in which it failed under high load, by failed I mean it has broken instead of shutting down, like other, even cheaper PSUs did.
So I wonder if XFX is still having some issues, do you have any info about that? Does it have now proper OCP protection (there were some rumors that it didn't).
I'm looking for 650-750W reliable and quiet PSU(I'm going to put it in Fractal Define R4). Some people recommend also Corsair RM as quiet PSU but I've heard they are not that reliable.
I can live with some quiet fan which is always on, I've heard that hybrid PSU (no fan when load is low) might be less reliable (more work for capacitors or something - I'm completely newbie if it comes to PSUs).
If XFX is not reliable, I'd be grateful if you could provide me some alternative.
I will use it with i5 4590 + R9 290x, but I need more power as I will upgrade my build in the future.
