Which PSU?

Admiral Huddy · 14 Oct 2013 at 10:41

What's the best PSU to go for at the moment?

Looking for 750W

I see there's an extensive range of Corsair models available. I 'm assuming the differences are: :

TX650.. Bog standard 80+ PSU?

TX750M - Same as above but modular?

HX750 same as above but with passive cooling when less power being drawn?

Rm series???

I quite like the idea of fan-less operation during low power but I'd like braided Modular cables.

Any ideas or suggestions.

Thanks

Cheers.. The Seasonic looks decent. Out of stock though

Antec!!!!!!!

The HX750 from Corsair I wasn't aware had the hybrid fan control which the AX range has? which stops the fan spinning when not much is happening then slowly ramps up the speed as it is needed.

This one?

Just been reading that the Antec doesn't have fan-less/low fan operation at low power.

edit ohhhh

AX and HX are around the same price.

Techpoweup rate the AX at 91%

And lol at Huddy repeating himself Triple post ftw.

Haha, yeah I love the cable kits, proper PSU to component cables instead of extensions, but yeah £60 goes along way on other more useful things.

been happening to a lot of my posts of late.. I'll have to give admin a darn good thrashing
