PSU recommendation for AMD 5900X

Jace007 · 11 Nov 2020 at 15:48

Hi, I need a PSU for my upgrade build for AMD 5900X i've always gone for EVGA PSUs which have been good but the recently ones seem to be loud. Can someone recommend Top 3 PSU for 750W.
I planning on getting a 3080 GPU down the line. Thanks

Good 750 watters are selling out quickly due to Nvidia 3000 cards & possibly in preparation for AMD big Navi release next month. If you want to buy NOW this is what I'd suggest.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Phanteks AMP 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £106.99
1 x Super Flower Leadex III ARGB 750W 80 PLUS Gold Modular Power Supply - Black= £119.95
1 x NZXT C-Series C750 750W 80+ Gold Fully-Modular Power Supply= £114.95

Total: £353.59 (includes shipping: £11.70)

Thanks, I was also considering a SeaSonic PX-750 I heard they are good, (I think that Phanteks is a rebrand of the SeaSonic?) or a Corsair RM750X (But not sure quality as heard issues in QA & about coil whine)

to be honest get a 850w for that wiggle room .. some of the 3080's are pulling a little more than they should ..

If you can wait until the end of the month, the Phanteks revolt look fantastic. 12 yr warranty too. I'll be after one.

If/when my PSU packs up, the Phanteks 1000W version OCUK have here is the one i'd be going for, without doubt.

thanks for the feedback, Phanteks are rebranded Seasonic PSU like focus gold plus platform. Internal are the same, just a different badge on them. After doing my checking, I'll stick to with the SeaSonic PX-750 or Corsair RM750x
which ever is in stock next week. @flea.rider I agree 850w is good if your going for the Strix or MSi Trio - it gives you that extra but i'm happy with standard 3080/or new AMD GPU

Phanteks have a 12 year warranty though over Seasonics measly 10.

For an upcoming new build I ended up going with 850w ROG Thor for £200. 80 plus platinum rated. Very quiet and reviewed well, 10 year warranty. The lcd showing live wattage usage is just a Brucey bonus. Potentially out of budget perhaps.

I sniffed my nose up at it initially but if it’s decent kit, it’s decent kit I guess.

So Seasonic and Phantek are pretty much the same? The PSU I've ordered are out of stock and I was looking at the Phantek Revolt 850W which will be in next month but i saw that the Seasonic Focus is in stock and thought I might change for that one.
