Which modular PSU ?

Brizzles · 2 Aug 2009 at 20:04

Spent the weekend looking, and just going round in circles !

Criteria :

750 - 850 watt
Modular
Budget ~ £120

I've looked at Silverstone,be quiet,Seasonic,BFG... each has its merits but i can't pick a definative choice out of them.

Any suggests from you guys would be appreciated.

Cheers.

I have the HX750 myself. Excellent ribbon cables and overall quality.

7 year warranty!

Ryan111 · 2 Aug 2009 at 21:27

is that a UK warranty ?

Ryan111 · 2 Aug 2009 at 22:19

I think my corsair came with a 5 year UK warranty, so I'm guessing that the HX750 comes with a 7 year UK warranty.

Kennysevenfold · 2 Aug 2009 at 22:27

Yeah 7 year warranty, bloody awesome if you ask me

Think its in england somewhere, not entirely sure though.!

My Corsair 620 went pop friday evening much to my dismay, just 20 months old, warranty is good but needs to go to Holland I believe (not got rma ref from them yet). Decided to get a Siesonic M12D 850watt, not from O/C's this time though, picked it up locally from another retailer as it was on offer with about £40 off (their usual price) for £128; in and working now, slight struggle with my p182 - there's a fat bundle of captive cables for a modular supply and its slightly longer than the Corsair I think, but it does have an awesome amount of total outputs, inc quad 6/8 pin pci-e. plus a better lower fail rate apparently - and the 5 year warranty is to a UK base not mainland Europe/US. I'll pass the fixed/returned/replaced Corsair onto my son whenever I get it totally sorted.

I have the HX 750W.

Runs well and quiet

baked188 · 2 Aug 2009 at 23:33

id go with this too, i have the same psu its top notch.

I chose the Seasonic M12D SS-850W because of the UK RMA Warranty.

OCZ / Corsair are Netherlands costs a small fortune sending them there - waste of money if it goes wrong.

Hope anyone with a Corsair PSU doesnt fail but if it does they might not be so recommending when they find out how much it costs to ship to Netherlands.

I'd go with Corsair. They seem pretty reliable and well priced!

Lemin · 3 Aug 2009 at 11:45

+another 1 for the 750w corsair

oggmonster · 3 Aug 2009 at 12:23

+1 another corsair psu fanboy here!!

RobH · 3 Aug 2009 at 12:36

Depends on the spec but I'm running the Corsair HX 450W with a C2D E6600, 8800GTS OC, 1x Raptor, 1x 500GB SATA, 1x Optical SATA, 1x PCI card, 1x PCI-E Card, 2x 80mm Fans. There is still plenty of room, all of them components together probably don't exceed 300 watts.

Ryan111 · 3 Aug 2009 at 23:53

Im sure that HAS to be a decisive victory for the Corsair.

Buy it!
