I currently have a corsair cx650, concerned about the reliability as I have had some random crashes. Latest was inserting a usb stick

My system below

Ryzen 5 3600x
Arctic freezer 34 (2 120mm fans)
Asus x470 pro
16gb adata ram
Rtx 2070 super
1tb samsung evo ssd
240gb gigabyte ssd
3 120mm intake fans
1 140mm top exhaust
1 120mm exhaust.

I want some advice before I cancel or keep my current order.

Ordered this
RIOTORO 750 W 80 PLUS ENIGMA modular psu

But was looking at this
EVGA 750 B3, 80+ BRONZE 750W

As its not too late to cancel it should I do it and get the evga over the riotoro?

Personally I would prefer the EVGA one, they are a great company to deal with. However the Riotoro unit isn't bad, it's pretty good quality.
 
I've had the same Corsair CX series power supply for around 6-7 years. Nothing wrong with them. Your one is perhaps faulty or there is something else causing your crashes.
 
Right cancelled my order, gonna rip my superflower leadex out of my other pc and use that instead

You buy a PSU that OCUK doesn't sell and come here asking for help! Best of luck, but the EVGA one would be better.

whats with the attitude? was a fair question to ask TBH and I normally get my stuff from OCUK TBH people like yourself should not be allowed to advise! Thanks for your useless input
 
The Riotoro is a rebadged Seasonic unit, so there should be no issue with the quality. It is based on the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold FX. Having said that the Seasonic Focus did have issues with some gpu's so maybe it affects rebrands as well.

Grumpy old man syndrome. Just feel it's not right to talk about buying from other suppliers. You can't reference competitors here. The forum is paid for by OCUK and is not intended to help other retailers.

In the end I will just take the psu out of my other pc. I got my superflower here with my 1070 2 years ago, think things only atarted acting up with the corsair when the 2070 went in.
 
No one seems to do certain wattage evga's apart from competitors grrrr. Oh riotoro are ex corsair and Nvidia staff, like evga they get oems to make them.

Riotoro is a rebadged seasonic with the top plate removed and the EVGA is a slightly cheaper made superflower.

It goes on price points as some places are not always cheaper.

Although when I got my msi 2070 gaming x ocuk were the cheapest at £499, think they are cheaper again now.

Not once did I mention a competitor oh and plenty of members do suggest things are available elsewhere without naming. Although I do understand your point and agree it is a help forum after all.

Anyway as said Im going to remove the super flower leadex from my sons(my pc) and use that.

I dont have much love for corsair psu's and as he is running a 1660ti it wont be as demanding.

Oh yes I'm equally as grumpy and react to a negative when a positive could be offered.

So we should only discuss items on here if OcUK sells them? There are many items OcUK doesn't sell but it doesn't mean we can't discuss them. Maybe after OcUK reads about them on here they''ll start selling them.
