Nice. Am I to assume that the G2 is Gold, and the P2 is Platinum rated? Those are nice prices. I don't think that I need an 850W PSU for this rig, but maybe if I ever get a TR/TR2 rig, that would be a sweet option. (In that case, I might go for 1000-1200W though, if I were to use four RX 570 GPUs and OC the CPU.)

Edit: In the back of my mind, I have been contemplating a new PSU for my main rig, with a Ryzen 5 1600 and, right now, an R7 260X 2GB. I had a RX 460 4GB Nitro in here before, mining, but it mysteriously died overnight, so I'm not sure if this PSU is iffy or what.

I can't mine on the 260X, too unstable, crashes / hangs.

The RX 460 is truly dead, though, I tried it in another PC, same symptoms.

I'm waiting for a good under-$200 sale on an RX 580 8GB card with decent fans and no rebate. Soon enough!

Anyways, back to the current PSU, it's an Antec Neo Eco (Seasonic version, I think) 620W. It has only been in my rig for almost two years now, but what gives me pause is, it was in storage for like 5-6 years before that, BNIB. So I don't know if the caps dried out.

Yeah, the "P" is for platinum. I own both a G2 and a P2, and they are great power supplies.

Could be, but the only way to know for sure is to read the voltages with a multimeter. Generally a good quality PSU shouldn't be affected too much by sitting for several years, but you never know because of variables like heat and humidity.

Thanks - picked up a 1000 W platinum (EVGA 220-P2-1000-XR SuperNOVA 1000 P2) for $112 to use as a spare.

Went with the free shipping, so took 10 days to get here. But, the modular design allowed for enough room to install it, so....awesome.
