Please help! Is the Kyber 850w worth it for $80usd? Bought it the other day, confusing it for the Core Reactor II. I’m on a tight budget but I hope it lasts. If not, I have to save up to get a more expensive one.
It is a decent PSU, yes. The Core Reactor II 850W is typically above 100$ as I remember.
I am unsure if many users will opt to pay 110 dollars for a native-cables-only PSU in 2024, given that with 10-15 dollars more, they can get a fully modular ATX v3.x compliant (e.g., the Thermaltake GF3 A3 850).
On page 11, I think there’s a typo in the thermaltake model’s name (GF A3 vs GF3 A3)
