    *Modular means that some unwanted cables can simply be unplugged at the PSU to help improve airflow and reduce case clutter

    Re: recommend me a psu

    as long as it's somewhere around the 500 - 600w mark, the PSU will be fine.

    have you tried RMA'ing the Hiper btw? maybe you've mixed up the date ever so slightly and it's actually still in warranty?

    Re: recommend me a psu

    Enermax LibertyECO, Modu82+ or Pro82+
    Corsair make some good PSUs, as mentioned above.
    Not sure which unit/wattage to recommend as I don't know what it's powering - let me know and I'll help more.

    TBH if you stick to Enermax / Seasonic / CWT you can't go far wrong.
