Yes...........
btw, I am using the same 550w older Golden King version, still going strong.

i see. Ive heard good things about superflower.

just wondering, is there a huge difference between gold and platinum? because the seasonic has 7 years warranty while superflower only has 5; averaged out its almost the same..

Hi, i was hoping to get a good one that will lasts.

I am looking at seasonic because it has 7 years warranty over the 5 years warranty given by superflower. the pricing seems similar when averaged out.

Since both average out on price/warranty, then distro location is next to come into picture. Tech Dynamics for SuperFlower is at Chai Chee Lane, while Corbell for Seasonic at AMK.

i know lazada has them for $212. is it a good offer?

Unless you got coupon to bring down price below $195, else you can get from Fuwell/PC Themes at $195.

is it worth the difference for electricity bills?

lets say i switch the computer on everyday.

Efficiency of 85% vs 90%

Means, if you normally pay $90 per year for your computer with a Bronze PSU, you will pay $85 per year with a Gold PSU

not much diff, as long as it's 80+ rated means the components are of certain standard already. getting from a reputable brand like fsp, seasonic or superflower is more important

the importance of the efficiency or ripple is only significant during overclocking as people want to push their chip to the limit and any voltage spike can kill their chip. hence need to get really good and stable power supply

Beside efficiency/cost, Gold and Platnium models used better quality component which emit little or no heat at low to mid wattage. So the fan does not need to run at all time until preset wattage/temperature reached.
