Difference between PSU Non-Modular, Modular, Fully Modular

Guys this time i wants to discuss about the difference between PSU or Non-Modular, Modular and Fully Modular Power Supply Units. For friends who are accustomed to assembling PCs, or hobbies and updates about technology, they already know what's the difference. Yep! but I want to tell you for those who don't know the difference so that if you have a PC raft plan you know which purchase will depend on your choice and budget as well, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of PSU we will also review this so that you know more.

1. Non-Modular

This model PSU is very often encountered from the past until now in the market, yes this PSU is the first one compared to other types, the non-modular PSU has the characteristics of a permanent cable that only exists from one hole, so the cable comes out from just one source this PSU is also the same as other types of PSU which have various Watt capacities, some are from 430Watt to the only I know 650Watt, because I have never seen any bigger, maybe there is but apparently rarely.

Advantages of Non-Modular PSU:

Hmm, the advantage is that you won't be afraid of losing the cables you don't use because everything is permanently stuck in the PSU.

Disadvantages of Non-Modular PSU:

You will have difficulty implementing the cable management system that is in the Casing today guys, because the cable is only one source and usually the cable is not very long so it is difficult for you to set.

You will lack space in your case because the cable is very visible and disturbing, especially if the unused cable will make your PC messy.

Your PC may also have more Overheat potential when all of the space in your Case is almost half entangled in wires and bad for the air flow in or out so this cable actually blocks air flow.

2. Modular

This PSU model is quite organized guys, only important cables that stick permanently into the PSU and the rest can be assembled according to your needs, if for example you do not need the power cable for VGA, then just unplug it from the PSU, so the cable used does not hang on the PSU and make your case tight. Usually this can be removed cable is a 24 pin ATX cable, single PCIe, 8 pin CPU and maybe one or two power peripheral cables (SATA / Molex), it all depends on the brand yes guys, not all cables that can be removed are the same as what I explained there are the same there are also different, but if different usually a little different.

Advantages of Modular PSU:

You can unplug the cables that you don't need from the PSU.

You can use the Cabble Management System which is available in your case and it looks more tidy.

Usually in some brands the cable is flat so the cable arrangement becomes easier and the casing looks relieved

Usually the modular PSU is available up to the highest wattage option, hmm maybe now up to 1500 watts.

Power efficiency based on your PSU rating written 80+ Bronze, Gold or Platinum

You will also be easier to clean the PSU from dust because the cable can be removed.

Disadvantages of Modular PSU:

The price is a little more expensive than the Non-Modular PSU

The cable that you don't use can be lost if you forget to put it down.

3. Fully Modular

These PSU models are indeed all separate from the cables guys so if you buy this kind of PSU the PSU is separated from the cable, then you just plug it in again, yes, indeed there are many who analogize the modular power supply with enthusiastic or computer-level users. but indeed the Fully Modular power supply is generally worth above average alias is quite expensive, but why do many manufacturers offer modular power supply in the market? In addition to aiming at users who need a better quality power supply with better appearance and features, it turns out that the modular power supply offers a series of useful features for users who want more aesthetic value on the system they build.

Advantages of Fully Modular PSU:

You can unplug the cables that you don't need from the PSU.

You can use the Cabble Management System which is available in the case with more leverage than the Modular PSU version and of course it looks more tidy.

Usually in some brands the cable is flat so the cable arrangement becomes easier and the casing looks relieved.

Usually the modular PSU is available up to the highest wattage option, hmm maybe now up to 1500 watts.

Power efficiency based on your PSU rating written 80+ Bronze, Gold or Platinum.

You will also be easier to clean the PSU from dust because the cable can be removed.

The air flow in the casing will be maintained so that the components or parts of our PC will not overheat

Lack of Fully Modular PSU:

Much more expensive than Non-Modular and Modular PSUs.

The cable that you don't use can be lost if you forget to put it down.

See the difference between Non-Modular, Modular and Fully Modular PSUs, I understand, I hope you understand and you can choose which PSU model you want to buy, but I recommend buying a modular one at a minimum.
