Power Supplies

PSUs (Power Supply Units) convert mains AC to the various DC voltages required by the components inside your PC. It's important to pick a good-quality PSU to ensure a stable supply of power, low noise and waste less electricity.

Start by checking how many Watts (W) your system requires. You can find this information in your component documentation or our buyers guide.

It's also essential to pick a PSU with the right connections for all the components in your system as different motherboards, CPUs, GPUs and storage drives each have their own unique types of connector. Choosing a PSU with modular cables will save space inside your system, aiding cooling.

It’s also important to look at efficiency, which is displayed in two similar standards, Cybenetics and 80 PLUS. These rate efficiency from Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Titanium and Diamond, in order of increasing efficiency. More efficient PSUs waste less electricity as well as running quieter and cooler.
