Best 750W PSU on OCUK

[Andromeda1983]

I am going to be buying a new PSU and I was wondering if I could get some recommendations on what to buy. My budget is currently about 500 and I want the best possible PSU I can get so, knock me out with your suggestions and I will send you cookies!!

If I was looking for a new psu right now I would be looking at the Seasonic Focus plus series in either 80+ Gold or Platinum. Both versions have a single 12v rail of 744w, are fully modular and have a 10 year warranty. There is a review of the 750w gold here. No reviews for the 750w platinum but I expect it to be inline with the gold series. There is a review of the 550w platinum here to give you a idea of how they perform.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Seasonic Focus Plus 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £109.99
• 1 x Seasonic Focus Plus 750W 80 Plus Platinum Modular Power Supply= £124.99

Extremely happy with my EVGA SuperNova G2

10 year warranty, reliant and quiet. I've got this running on the energy saving mode so fans don't spin until a certain draw is reached.

tbh, any branded PSU with a 80+ rating is going to do the jobs nicely. If you allow enough headroom, then you won't even reach this far.

IMO, you are paying an extra £50 for the branding of "Titanium" and at this price I'd expect it least 85% or even 90% .

Mind you.. 12yr warranty and the specs on noise look impressive.. I doubt you'd need another PSU in that time..
so do well

Never had problem with Seasonic's and yeah I know I am paying for the branding but sod it, if im gonna splash out I might as well get the best one I can right?

Prime series actually some rather heavy duty sizing of components.

Like primary capacitance being IIRC around 40% bigger than usually, and those 400V caps aren't cheap.
Which is why it has nearly double the ATX spec requirement 30+ ms hold up time and not minding if there's whole AC cycle missing. (could throw in half cycle/wave for extra)
Also that efficiency was achieved for big part through component oversizing which keeps load and losses on components smaller.

Turned up and installed, from start to finish feels like a quality product and the coil whine from my 1080 has gone down some

I sent mine back because of annoying fan noise, i've seen another person with the exact same noise i had also.
