Power supply units, or PSUs, have a strong case for being the most boring part of a PC build. They are often relegated to that box in the corner of your case that provides power to the much cooler parts. Even though manufacturers add RGB lighting in an attempt to attach some glitz to certain PSU models, it\u2019s hard to compete against the true stars of PC gaming, like CPUs and GPUs, or even keyboards. Thanks to a new technology that\u2019s gradually taking over the market, power supplies have managed to enter the PC building conversation beyond a brief mention at the end. Though other components will probably always be on gamers\u2019 lips more often, the ATX 3.0 technology is more than enough to remind us all of that neglected box in the corner.

Image via Amazon Key specs \u2022 Power output - 1300W, 1600W \u2022 Size - 8.6\/6\/3.4 inches \u2022 Efficiency rating - Titanium \u2022 Noise rating - A++ What we like about it \u2022 High-quality design with a heavy feel to it \u2022 Can support virtually any consumer level PC \u2022 As silent as an ATX 3.0 PSU can get \u2022 High efficiency at full and reduced loads What we don't like about it \u2022 Large unit, would not fit in any case \u2022 Overkill for most consumer level PCs \u2022 High price Today's Best Deals \u2022 View at Amazon \u2022 View at B&H Photo VideoProduct Breakdown For Seasonic Prime TX ATX 3.0 PSU Power supplies don\u2019t get more premium, or more expensive, than Seasonic. You know that you\u2019re getting top engineering and you know your wallet will have to suffer for it. The Seasonic Prime TX is designed to be the best ATX 3.0 PSU on the market, which is why it only comes in 1300 and 1600W variants. It is dead silent, super efficient, and mighty powerful. It could withstand a double 4090 setup and barely break a sweat. Simply put, this is the best ATX 3.0 PSU in 2024. SPECIAL OFFER: Get 6 free months of Amazon Prime with the Prime for Young Adults plan 2) FSP Hydro Ti Pro The Hydro in the name stands for increased humidity resistance. Image via Amazon Key specs \u2022 Power output - 850W, 1000W \u2022 Size - 5.9\/5.9\/3.4 inches \u2022 Efficiency rating - Titanium \u2022 Noise rating - A++ What we like about it \u2022 Compact size \u2022 Comes in the most common 850 and 1000W variants \u2022 Can withstand harsh environmental conditions What we don't like about it \u2022 No variants above 1000W can limit its usage in some high-end PC builds \u2022 A sizeable price premium over most competitors Today's Best Deals \u2022 View at Amazon \u2022 View at WalmartProduct Breakdown For FSP Hydro Ti Pro ATX 3.0 PSU If you want that premium ATX 3.0 PSU experience but aren\u2019t keen on mortgaging your house, the FSP Hydro Ti Pro is a great compromise. By compromise, we mean it\u2019s still a high-tier, plenty-expensive PSU that just isn\u2019t as expensive as the Prime TX. In addition to being a great performing, silent power supply, the Hydro Ti Pro has an additional surface coating that allows it to keep its efficiency level in unusually humid environments, hence the Hydro in its name. If you want to go even cheaper, there are the Hydro G Pro variants, though the price drop comes with a drop in quality. 3) be quiet! Dark Power 13 Quiet power is what you're getting out of this PSU. Image via Amazon Key specs \u2022 Power output - 850W, 1000W \u2022 Size - 6.9\/5.9\/3.4 inches \u2022 Efficiency rating - Titanium \u2022 Noise rating - A++ What we like about it \u2022 Very quiet unit \u2022 Comes in the most common 850 and 1000W variants \u2022 Most budget-friendly high-tier ATX 3.0 PSU in 2024 What we don't like about it \u2022 No variants above 1000W can limit its usage in some high-end PC builds Today's Best Deals \u2022 View at Amazon \u2022 View at WalmartProduct Breakdown For be quiet! Dark Power 13 ATX 3.0 PSU The Be quiet! Dark Power 13 ATX 3.0 PSU lives up to its name. It is very quiet and, in fact, very powerful. It\u2019s basically the Hydro Ti Pro, minus the extra environmental protection, though this one is also a full inch larger. It is also much cheaper, so if the size difference and the lack of additional coating don\u2019t matter to you, you might as well save up some money and grab the Dark Power 13. 4) ASUS ROG Loki SFX-L PSUs can be pretty too. Image via Amazon Key specs \u2022 Power output - 750W, 850W, 1000W \u2022 Size - 4.9\/4.9\/2.5 inches \u2022 Efficiency rating - Platinum \u2022 Noise rating - Standard++ What we like about it \u2022 Very compact size \u2022 Has RGB lighting \u2022 750, 850, and 1000W models offer good purchase flexibility What we don't like about it \u2022 Can be rather noisy under load Today's Best Deals \u2022 View at AmazonProduct Breakdown For ASUS ROG Loki SFX-L ATX 3.0 PSU We picked the ASUS ROG Loki SFX-L to be the divide between our top overall recommendations and the more budgetary offerings we have for you. This PSU is ideal for the task because it\u2019s the only RGB model on the list. We couldn\u2019t leave lighting enthusiasts hanging, and this is the best you can get in that regard. The Loki SFX-L models are slightly more expensive than ASUS\u2019 Aura Gaming line of PSUs, but the improved efficiency is worth the extra dollars. The Auras are more silent, however, so you\u2019ll have to decide performance vs. noise yourself. 5) Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 The Toughpower GF A3 is a humble workhorse. Image via Amazon Key specs \u2022 Power output - 550W, 650W, 750W, 850W, 1050W, 1200W \u2022 Size - 5.9\/5.5\/3.4 inches \u2022 Efficiency rating - Gold \u2022 Noise rating - A- What we like about it \u2022 Best budget ATX 3.0 PSU in 2024 \u2022 Decently quiet \u2022 Covers nearly every consumer level PC\u2019s power supply needs What we don't like about it \u2022 Lacks premium features, though that\u2019s expected at the price \u2022 Cable quality could be better Today's Best Deals \u2022 View at Amazon \u2022 View at WalmartProduct Breakdown For Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 ATX 3.0 PSU Thermaltake is the king of the \u201cit does its job\u201d kind of product, and that\u2019s what you\u2019ll get with the Toughpower GF A3 ATX 3.0 PSU. It\u2019s solidly built, it provides the best performance and efficiency you could feasibly expect at the price point, it\u2019s reasonably quiet, and it covers the 550-1200W output range, making it virtually impossible not to find something fitting your needs. Our verdict is that the Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 is the best budget ATX 3.0 PSU in 2024. 6) Corsair RMe Corsair offers good competition at the budget ATX 3.0 PSU level. Image via Amazon Key specs \u2022 Power output - 650W, 750W, 850W, 1000W \u2022 Size - 5.9\/5.5\/3.4 inches \u2022 Efficiency rating - Gold \u2022 Noise rating - A- What we like about it \u2022 Good price to performance \u2022 Variants covering 650-1000W allow purchase flexibility What we don't like about it \u2022 Can get a bit noisy under high loads \u2022 Cable quality and quantity can be lacking Today's Best Deals \u2022 View at Amazon \u2022 View at WalmartProduct Breakdown For Corsair RMe ATX 3.0 PSU The Corsair RMe PSUs are our runner-up on the budget ATX 3.0 front. It\u2019s the little things that discern these from the Toughpower GF A3s, like the more limited variants and higher noise levels under load. Though we\u2019re talking barely noticeable amounts here, the Corsair PSUs also tend to be slightly more expensive. All these delicate details pushed the RMe units down to second place on the budgetary ladder, but getting one of those is still a good addition to your PC, otherwise it wouldn\u2019t be here. 7) MSI MEG Ai The MSI MEG Ai is a decent mix of high performance and relatively low price. Image via Amazon Key specs \u2022 Power output - 1000W, 1300W \u2022 Size - 6.3\/5.9\/3.4 inches \u2022 Efficiency rating - Platinum \u2022 Noise rating
