    PSU Watt Requirement.

    No. That's not the only reason why I think it's better.

    PSU Watt Requirement.

    Surely there's a difference between it being better and it being worth £40 more. It is definitely better, but not necessarily worth £40 more.

    PSU Watt Requirement.

    You're saying that the NZXT Hale90 which is also built by Super Flower isn't better than the Golden Green HX 650W?

    PSU Watt Requirement.

    I know they're only 5p under £100, but these are both better than the Golden Green HX 650W: Seasonic G-650 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-017-SS&groupid=701&catid=123 This only has the 24pin, 4+4pin and two PCIe cables hardwired, the rest are modular. NZXT Hale90...

    new PSU question?

    Don't know of any 450W OCZ PSUs. So it is hard to know if it will be able to power a system with a GTX 470 without knowing what it is. Although I would only trust a GTX 470 to a 450W PSU if the PSU in question was very high quality.

    Akasa Cobra PSU's, any good

    FYI, the reason it is not 80 PLUS certified is because it is 240VAC only, a unit can only be 80 PLUS certified if it is full range, ie 100-240V. Also just because a unit isn't certified, doesn't mean that it has poor efficiency. Akasa on their website make a very general claim about 82%...

    Good very Quiet 750 or 850 Power supply?

    Corsair AX750 on a deal for £100. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-027-CS&groupid=595&catid=662

    Spec me a PSU, please :-)

    Not much point buying the Corsair HX650 over the Seasonic G-650, as they have the same internal design. The HX650 has the disadvantage of only coming with two PCIe cables. Whereas the G-650 comes with four. If you don't need a PSU with four PCIe cables then you don't need a 650W PSU, a...

    Loud Power Supply?

    The Antec HCP-850M (and the 750W version, and any other unit based on the same design which is the Seasonic SS-xxxAM, otherwise known as M12II Bronze 650-850W. The non-modular version is SS-xxxAT) are known to be noisy units. Especially as their minimum fan speeds are quite high. There are...

    An Ax860 is Seasonic oem right?

    Yes AX760-860 is made by Seasonic. No, AXi is made by Flextronics. As is mentioned in this review: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Corsair/AX760i/4

    Enough power?

    If you have that unit already then you would only have to change it if you experienced problems. Which I think is unlikely. Antec HCG-520 is made by Seasonic btw.

    psu question

    Cooler Master Silent Pro M700 is now discontinued. So if you do get an M700 back, then I think it is more likely that they will have repaired your original unit. If they replace it then it is likely to be replaced with a Silent Pro M2 720W. Which I believe received a fairly positive review at...

    need opinions on this PSU

    Both TPU and KitGuru measured the maximum power consumption of that card (by itself) to be 300W under Furmark. Closer to 250W when gaming. Which is easy enough even for a good 550W PSU to take. I'd be tempted by the NZXT Hale90 650W at the same price as well, as the maximum speed of it's fan...

    Corsair TX650 or OCZ Modxstream 700W

    Can't believe people are still considering the ModXStream Pro 700W in 2013... It is not a good 700W PSU, this is because it has a combined +12V rating of 552W and only 2 PCIe connectors. A good 650W+ PSU should have at least four. Which the TX650 doesn't have either. So if you want to be...

    Need help with a psu

    The ASRock B75 Pro3-M doesn't support SLI, so you would have to upgrade the motherboard first. The first requirement for a PSU to power GTX 660 SLI is two PCIe connectors. Also you don't need as much as 700-800W for GTX 660 SLI. Wattage isn't too demanding because GTX 660s are rated for a...

    Haswell PSU

    "Haswell compatibility" isn't a problem for independently regulated units, like the OCZ-ZT750W.

    Advice on a new PSU

    In case you don't know, the recommendation from your GPU of 650W is for the entire system, not just the GPU itself. And recommendations from GPU vendors are always over-estimates. One possible reason for this is because some people will buy low-end, cheap junk which can't deliver half of what...

    PSUs - OCZ ZX 850w Gold or Antec HCP 750w Gold?

    If you're talking about the Antec High Current Pro 750W, then it isn't that new, the first reviews for the series first show up at the very end of 2010. Whereas the first reviews for ZX series seem to show up in early 2011. The HCP 750 is definitely superior IMO.

    SShd or wd black?

    Two reviews for the Seagate 2TB Desktop SSHD: http://www.storagereview.com/seagate_desktop_sshd_review http://techreport.com/review/25425/ I personally wouldn't go for WD Black as they are noisy and they aren't necessarily faster than a quieter option. However they do have the best warranty...

    how often should you replace your PSU with a new one?

    Antec TruePower New units have a 5 year warranty, so there's not much point replacing it before the 5 year period is up.
