£300 Mobo + PSU for 780ti SLI

[Kellogz]

Hello again well after an interesting week of a new build it turns out I now need to choose a new PSU and mobo. I would really like to get the z87x-oc if possible but I am willing to listen to advice. Can't be a superflow as I've already sent one back and due to others I don't trust the brand. Preferably I would like to be able to get a 4.4 4.5 oc and run 2 780s in sli.

Thanks
Kellogz

wow i have a Superflower Leadex 1000w Gold and its been magnificent... perhaps look at EVGA, or Silverstone then?

maybe try NZXT Hale powersupplies, expensive but the reviews seem good, and they're on offer this week

yes but made by superflower

 

[Kellogz]

I looked at the hale there's one on offer which is perfect but it's white... As for the super yes I had the gold 1000 also and the fan failed in a few hours and also made a high pitch squeal... I would simply ask for another if I could trust and the not going bad.. Can I ask do you have the PSU fan facing up or down the case also just interested to know.

Ah ok thanks mate, well this is proving difficult
difficult.....

Get another Superflower, just bad luck, its not like any manufacture has never had a defective item.

8pack is LN2 benching now, guess what PSU I can see running.

Yea saw that might go for it again worst case same problem and have to rma again

 

[SiDeards73]

Mines in a Phantek Enthoo Primo case facing out sidewards of the case.

Disclaimer:
I 100% do NOT recommend you use spray paint on a Power Supply.. Its a foolish idea and the person responsible for that suggestion should be treated as such.

 

[Kellogz]

I was gonna use my wife's nail varnish but hell to it when I could just spray paint it!
