Bitfenix vs Thermaltake

[ScottyC]

So Im in the process of purchasing parts for my very first pc build (wooo excited!) and I've come across the old which is better scenario, now since this is my first pc build and i only have 2 friends that a pc savy I thought I'd put it up here to discuss and ultimately decide which psu to buy so none the less here's the contenders.

 

1. Thermaltake Toughpower 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

 

2. BitFenix Fury 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

 

Both of which currently cost $105 AUD from the suppliers I've chosen (if anyone finds one or both cheaper within Australia I'd love to know)

 

So thanks in advance and I can post my current parts list if need be but keep in mind it is subject to change.

 

Now let the discussion begin!

Bitfenix.

[quan289]

"Thermaltake Toughpower 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply" as in the model: "TPD-0550M"? If so, that's a CWT CSG. It's a DC-DC regulated power supply that is superior to group regulated FSP Aurum based Bitfenix Fury.

 

Go for the Thermaltake.

So the current tally is 1 all if you guys can provide reasons on why I should choose said PSU like quan289 (cheers mate)

 

gonna leave this up for a week or so and see what the final tally is.

 

thanks again for helping out

Do me a favor and don't listen to the Thermaltake haters. They're just upset because Thermaltake build a case that looks almost the same as the Fractal Define R5.  :lol: 

Quan289 has a good reason for recommending the Thermaltake PSU. So I would take that.

[ScottyC]

I'm actually using a define r5 if that makes any diffrence (doubt it) but hey, the more you know

If you want the nice cables of the BitFenix then go for it but the Thermaltake appears to be a better choice.

Stop. Everyone does things like this (and not only copying, ehm *coff*GTX 970 3.5GB...*coff* (and I say this as a 970 owner)).

[ScottyC]

So atm im most likely leaning towards the thermaltake psu but STRMfrmXMN mentioned the nice cables that BitFenix offers so just a sub question, does anyone know if the aftermarket "Alchemy Cables" that BitFenix offer are compatible with some/all modular PSU's (specifically the Thermaltake I'm getting)?
