I'm experiencing shutdowns with my current power supply and need some advice on which new one to get. I've narrowed it down to two options, both of which come with a 10-year warranty. The first is the Cooler Master V850 Gold V2 850W, and the second is the Be Quiet Power Zone 2 750W Platinum. I'm currently using a 6650 XT and a 5800X3D, but I plan to upgrade to a 9070 (non-XT/XT) in the future. I'm leaning towards the Be Quiet unit because of its ATX 3.x compatibility, just in case AMD switches to the 12VHPWR connector for future GPUs. What do you all think?

The Cooler Master unit is a higher quality power supply overall. The Be Quiet option is decent, but just keep in mind that an ATX 3.x certification doesn’t guarantee it has the new connector. So, check the specifics before you decide!
Got it, but does the ATX 3.x version offer any other advantages compared to the 2.x?
