Which of theese modular psu's

Im considering switching to a modular psu. Currently using a thermaltake toughpower 750w (non modular) but the cables are an absolute nightmare in my akasa eclipse. Wi th a modular unit i would have a lot less cable clutter to deal with. Ive been looking at theese two models.

corsair hx 750w

a cheaper alternative though:

I have just purchased the Be Quiet 750W PSU, so recently I haven't actually put it in the case yet! (Nor any of the other components.

) However, the build quality is excellent, very quiet from the little testing I did, and it near enough couldn't be more modular even if it tried! The only fixed cables are the 20/24Pin ATX cable, and a tiny fan control cable for if you connect fans to the PSU.

BeQuiet for me

Corsair HX 750w, is the better PSU as long as it fits on your case.

And I don't have either PSU, so I'm not biased.

either of them tbh, they are both top psu's. the 7 year warranty would swing it for me though i think

Indeed, those are both fine choises and either would serve you very well.

Take the warranty, there's virtually nothing else to choose between them.

Cheers for the input guys, im gonna go with the corsair, having seen one in my mates rig im very impressed with it, extremely quiet to which is nice, that and the 7 year warranty have convinced me.
