Power supplies are not my thing, really.
Normally, I just buy a Corsair and be done with it.
However, I need PSU that is more about efficiency than it is about power. 550W is more than enough.
Corsair don't really have anything suitable any more, tending to concentrate on larger PSU's. The most appropriate of theirs seems to be the RM750x, but that is too big and I seem to be paying a tad too much for that capacity.
However I spotted the Fractal Design Ion+ 2 560W 80 PLUS Platinum. It has a ten year guarantee, is reasonably priced, and has an acceptable power output at 560W. And, of course, it has an even higher efficiency, which is really good. So, it seems to meet my needs much better than the Corsair.
Now being an expert in these things, can anyone tell me which is the better of the two?
