 What's up internet? Bibili ka ng PSU and gusto mo na sigurado ka na compatible yun sa ibang components ng computer mo. So as usual sa series na to, dadan tayo sa lahat ng basic components ng computer and then one by one sabihin natin na ito kailang mo tutukan, ito kailang mo i-check. So CPU yes, we need to talk about that. CPU cooler no need, motherboard no need, RGB no need, GPU yes, we need to talk about that. Case, we need to talk about that. Storage, we don't need to talk about that. Ram, we don't need to talk about that. So we'll start with the case and itong madali lang, siguraduhin mo lang na kasha yung PSU dun sa case mo. I mean physically that it fits into the case that you bought. Most PSUs, yung size nila is 80X standard. Kahit hindi 80X yung case mo, let's say M80X case na mas maliit, pasok pa yung 80X na size. So just make sure. But that's how standard the 80X size is that even some smaller cases like M80X cases will fit an 80X size PSU. Of course if you're doing smaller builds kagay na mga ITX builds, yun talaga kailang mo mas maliit na PSU. And usually for ITX builds you look for SFF PSUs or Small Form Factor PSUs. But regardless of what case you're using, just make sure that physically mapapasok mo yung PSU dun sa loob ng case. And for a CPU-GPU, we'll take those two together first kasi yung CPU plus GPU, yan yung dalawang primary sources na gumagamit ng PSU mo. Kung baka sila talaga yung humihigop ng koreyente, sila yung gumagamit ng wattage ng power supply unit mo. So you need to make sure na kaya ng PSU mo yung dalawang components na yun. Yung CPU pati yung GPU. Fortunately, it's easy to check online. Madali lang para ma-check mo kung ano ba yung recommended between CPU and GPU. Kasi yan dami daming possible combinations anong yung CPU mo, anong GPU mo. Just make sure that you have enough power to power both components. Karamihan sa mga builds ngayon, hindi naman kailangan ng sobrang daming wattage. Even like a fast CPU like the Ryzen 7 3700X, yun total wattage lang normal usage is around 65 watts. And then kung mag-overclock ka pa, tumatas yun to 88, pero sobrang extreme overclocking lang noon. So even for a fast CPU like that, 88 watts is nothing for most PSUs. Kung yung graphics card mo, hindi naman ganoong ka power hungry, you can get away with a 550 watt power supply. Even at 2070 Super, which is sort of medyo high end na, yung recommended power supply lang noon is 650 watts. May tendency kasi tayo na, ay, kailangan madaming wattage, kailangan high capacity yung power supply ko. So 750 watts, 850 watts. And yes, there's an argument to be made na maganda yun kasi may allowance ka kung ga-upgrade ka in the future. But in general, it's easy to get carried away na, ay, kailangan sobrang high capacity yung power supply ko. Pero sa tuto lang, hindi naman talaga kailangan. Of course it depends on your individual parts. But generally, you do not need as much wattage as you think you do. Madaling magpanik. But if you know, you do a little research and you look at anong kailangan on CPU and GPU, usually a modest 550 watt power supply, 650 watts will already be good for your system. Ngayon, pagusapan natin yung GPU separately. Kailangan mo, tutukan doon sa GPU, aside from anong power requirements niya, is yung anong pins na ginagamit niya. Yung ibang GPU kasi, saksak mo lang sa PCIe slot, okay ka na. However, the more high end GPUs may power connectors pa yun sa gilid nung graphics card. Question, kailangan mo talaga saksakan yun, gagana ba yung card? Yes, gagana yung card kung di mo ay plug-in yung additional power supply cables doon sa gilid nung GPU. But you should because that means na your card needs more power and it won't reach its full speed kung di mo sinaksak yung additional cables doon sa gilid niya. And ito yung kailangan mo, tutukan kung 8 pin or 6 pin ba yung nasa gilid nung GPU mo and if your PSU has those pins or has cables that can fit those pins. Madalas na nangyari, old system, mag-aglaration ng graphics card, pagsaksak niya, napansin niya na, oh dito sa gilid may pagsaksak palats ng PSU cables. Pero pag-check niya, yung old PSU niya, wala pa lang 6 pin na available or wala pa lang 8 pin cable na available doon. So nasayang lang yung pag-upgrade sa GPU kasi hindi niya mabigay yung wattage or yung power na kailangan ng GPU, hindi rin maka-arangkada si GPU. It will not reach its full speed kasi kulang ngayong koreante na kung mapasok sa kanya. Hindi sapat yung nakukukawa niya doon sa PCIe slot. That's why manufacturers put those additional pin holes or the additional plugs on the side. So kung yung GPU may ganon, may pagsaksaksak sa gilid, make sure to plug those in. Otherwise, sign lang pera mo. Hindi tatak mo yung GPU mo up to its maximum possible speed. So actually yun lang yung basic tips for buying a PSU. And since sign naman yung oras, and dito naman tayo, dagdegan ko lang nung conting information. Number one, a common question we always get asked is, anong ba tong true rated? You know, you go on Lazada, you go on Shopee and daming nakapowersupplies nakadvertize na true rated. Pamitsan yung mga costumers mismo nung tatanong true rated ba yan? Ano ba ibig sabihin ng true rated na to? Kasi yung sagot ko doon, wala. Wala ang ibig sabihin yung true rated. It's a made up term. It does not signify anything. It is not any recognizable standard. There is no governing body that says ito true rated, ito hindi. As far as I can tell, tayo lang gumagamit ng true rated. Punta ka sa Amazon, search for true rated power supply, wala kang mahanap. Pero kung pupunta ka sa new egg, search may true rated power supply, wala kang mahanap. Pero kung pupunta ka sa local websites like Lazada, Shopee, yun, isang katutak ng true rated. If you stop to think about it, true rated to what? True basis saan? Sino nagsacertify na true rated? Ano yung standard of measurement? There are no answers to these questions kasi wala nagsacertify na true rated. Kung baga marketing lang yan, maganda paking gan. Kasi isipin mo true, totoo, toonay. Kung marinig mo true rated, 650 watts. Yung inisip mo, ah, ito talaga aabot to nung 650 watts. Kasi true. Kasi may nag-rate sa kanya. May nag-sabi na ito true rated. Pero toto lang, wala nga manufacturers na nag-tipon-tipon at nag-sabi na okay, mangap dude, mangap pre. Para maging true rated yung isang power supply, dapat pumasa sa mga standards na to. Dapat Japanese rated capacitors. Check, lahat ng true rated may gan yan. Dapat kung sabi mo, 650 watts, 100% of the time, kahit anong load, 650 watts yung linalabas ng PSU mo. You wouldn't want that actually kasi sayang sa koreante. But let's say, for example, na yun nga yung pinangdisipan nila. Okay, check. But there is no body, there is no group, there isn't anyone saying that a true rated PSU matches these requirements. There are no requirements. There is no such standard, walang tatak na true rated. Marketing lang yun. Pero may ibang aangal at sa sabihin na, de, sir, yung true rated, yung ibig lang sabihin nung 80 plus certified. That's an interesting point. Yung 80 plus, 2-9 na standard yun. May nagsabit talaga na para maging 80 plus yung isang PSU, kailangan pumasa sa checklist na to. And I've seen other, you know, local YouTubers or you know, other local shops use this na yun true rated, ibig sabihin lang yun 80 plus certified. Pero dalawa tanong ko doon. Kung pareho lang pala yung true rated, pati yung 80 plus, pati na lang gamita natin yung 80 plus na ginagamit na rin natin and pangalawa, nagamit sa buong mundo. If you go to Amazon, maraming 80 plus certified doon, New Egg same thing, maraming 80 plus. And sa totoo lang, kung pumunta ka sa Lazada or Shopee, maraming gumagamit nung true rated na hindi sila 80 plus. Kiklik ka doon sa isang PSU, true rated siya, pero hindi siya 80 plus certified. So kahit doon sa usage nung ibang nagbabenta, hindi tugma, hindi equal, it does not mean that true rated equals 80 plus. And again, so we're left hanging in the air wondering, ano ba talagong true rated na to? And as far as I can tell, it's a nice marketing term. It sounds good. True rated. Dito ako sa true rated. Pero sa totoo lang, medyo na inisa ako sa mga, nagtatangong kung true rated ba yung power supply. Tuturo lang sila sa power supply. Ito sir, din mo. Sa Shopee, ito true rated. Pero ano ba talaga ibig sabihin noon? Hindi nila masabi, kasi walang standards to measure what is true rated or not. So at the best, it's a marketing term and manufacturers or sellers are allowed to embellish a little in terms of marketing. That's actually the law. So at the best, if you want to look at it generously, parang pang marketing lang yan. But if you want to look at it, medyo negatively, actually scam yan. Sinasabi mo sa customers mo na true rated, implying a certain level, a certain standard na inaabot ng PSU mo. Pero sa totoo lang, there is no standard. True rated does not mean anything. Maganda lang, paking gan. Pero magandang introduction to, kung wala talaga ibig sabihin yung true rated, ano naman yung 80 plus? And yun, ito two night talaga to na standard and it's recognized worldwide. If you ask somebody na hindi pinoy, pero may alam sa computers, tina nang mo, is that 80 plus certified? Malamang he'll know what it is because it is recognized throughout the world. So ano ba tong 80 plus na to? Yung 80 plus lang noon at its very basic level. 80 plus certified just means that all of the time, that PSU is at least 80% efficient. So kung kalaman nung 500 watts, bumalika nung 80 plus certified na 500 watts PSU. And for some reason, ginamit mo talaga 500 watts, the whole capacity of your PSU. Or ilang watts kinukuhan nung PSU na yun, galing sa wall outlet mo. How many watts is it actually consuming kung 500 watts ginagamit nya? And yung unang sagot, parang di 500 watts, 500 watts yung PSU, kilang niya 500 watts. Yung kirihigop niya na koreyente, galing dun sa wall socket or yung ginagamit niya na wattage dun sa wall socket, 500 watts din, unfortunately, no. Kasi may tinatawag na inefficiencies, hindi 100% yung nakukuhan ng PSU from the wall outlet, hindi lahat nung power na yun, nagagamit niya. Usually, a lot of it is wasted as heat. There's waste heat involved. It's just physics na po yun. Hindi natin mabago yun. There is always waste in any system. No system is 100% efficient. Sinasabi ni 80 plus na all of the time, your PSU is at least 80% efficient. Sa balik tayo dun sa example natin, yung 500 watt PSU mo, kilang niya 500 watts talaga, yung kinukuhan niya dun sa wall outlet is actually 625 watts. Kung yung 625 watts, adon ba 80% nun? 500 watts yun. Nakukuhan niya 625 watts from the wall outlet, pero yung nagagamit lang niya is 500 watts. Depending dun sa level nung 80 plus mo, mas mataas yung efficiency niya. Yung 80 plus kasi, minimeshwer niya on load. Like how much is your PC really using? So 10% of load, 20% load, 50% and 100%. And there are different colors or grades of 80 plus. The higher you go, the more efficient your PSU is. So, mabilis lang, yung 80 plus may 80 plus white, 80 plus bronze, silver, gold, platinum and yung pinakamataas titanium. Para lang to get a sense gano ka layo yung efficiency nung 80 plus titanium versus yung pinakabasik na 80 plus or yung tinatawog nilang 80 plus white paminsan. Yung 80 plus white at 100% load, 80% efficient lang yun. Pero yung titanium at 100% load, 91% efficient yun. And actually in other configurations, 80 plus even reaches higher levels of efficiency. Like yung platinum at 50% load, 94% efficient yung mga PSU na yun. Or even yung titanium at 50% load, 96% efficient. So you can really tell dun sa mas mataas na kulay, sobrang ang layo nung efficiency rating niya dun sa mga lower end na 80 plus. And generally, 80 plus is just about efficiency. How much power it takes from the wall outlet and ilan ba dun na gagamit talaga niya? How efficient is it in using the power that it gets from the wall outlet? Karaniwan kasi, tinating na na rin yung mga kulay as stand-ins for quality. So usually, kapag 80 plus gold ka, mas mataas yung tingin ng power supply na yun kaysa sa 80 plus white lang. Usually, tingin ng mga higher levels of color, tingin ng mga tao, ah ito tatagal, ah ito quality to. And that's true at a certain extent, kasi para makuhama yung level of efficiency na yan. Kailangan mong gandahan o kailangan maganda yung design nung circuit sa loob and maganda yung mga hardware na pinasok mo dun para maabot may yung level of efficiency na yan. Usually sa high end power supply units na highly rated sa 80 plus. All Japanese capacitors yun, the fans are much nicer because they run quieter and you know, mas efficient mas magandang airflow nila throughout the PSU. Even though yung sinasabi lang talaga ng 80 plus, gano ka efficient yung isang power supply, generally the higher you go sa 80 plus rating, mas maganda rin, mas high quality yung mga power supplies. Generally, kasi may makuento din kami na platinum after one week palpak na din. So medyo hit or miss talaga, but we can talk about that in another video. But as a general rule of thumb, the higher you go on the 80 plus scale, the better quality your PSU is, and usually mas tatagal siya. So para lang mabilis, true rated doesn't mean anything. Magala lang pakinggan. Yung 80 plus, talagang may measuring standard yun, may nagsasabi ito yung basis kung bakit yung isang PSU 80 plus or not. At yan yung ginagamit worldwide. Yung last na sort of added information, andami kasi nakitanong kung ito build ko, sapat na ba yung power supply ko? It's hard to just give general advice for beginners kasi andami makaposibleng builds kung depende sa CPU mo, depende sa GPU mo. Depende ko mag-overclock ka or hindi. So ako, I don't want to give specific advice. Yung general advice ko lang how much wattage do you need? Research online based on what you have and your needs if you're going to overclock. And number two, huwag matakot masyado na makulangan. It's very easy, depende talaga sa shop kung parang 550 watts lang pala kailangan, pero yung sinugest sayo, 750 watts. It's true. I mean, yes, you might need a more expensive and a more high capacity power supply, pero check mo lang din. Bago ka nag-yes dun sa 750 watts, 850 watts, 1,000 watts. Umabot ng 1,200 watts. I personally had a 1,200 watts power supply from EVGA, which broke, but EVGA repaired it and you can see that in this video. Pero anyway yun, kung medyo nagdududa ka sa shop kung san kabungi bilay, bilay ka sa amin. We want still your wrong. Or just do your own research na kailangan ba talaga na sobrang tas nung power supply ko e total, mag light gaming lang naman ako for office, for MS Word, MS Excel, web surfing, things like that. For those things, you really don't need a very high capacity power supply. So I hope nakatulong. Thanks for watching. So I hope that these basic tips help you.
