The PSU Tier List features the best computer Power Supply Units based on a range of factual information.
All credit goes to the contributors who create and maintain the list on the Linus Tech Tips Forum, huge thanks to Princess Luna, @DatTestBench, @Stefan Payne, @GreatMasterAden, @PSUGuru, @Ave with a model o and @LukeSavenije without you guys this list wouldn’t be possible.
This site was created out of frustration of not being able to quickly see a complete list of prices for the PSU’s in the list.
Where available we have provided up to date pricing information from Amazon for each Power Supply, ordered by Tier.
