Snake21 reacted to quan289 in $150 fully modular psu
The Seasonic X 750w KM3 is 6450 PHP / 145 USD.
The Corsair RM750 is 5850 PHP / ~130 USD.
The Seasonic X simply a better build, better performing unit (electrically). It too have "zero-RPM" mode, where the fan does not spin up at lower loads. It's also has a switch that you can turn on and off this mode. It's great feature as you can ensure that the fan is actually working. The Corsair RM750 is a little quieter than the Seasonic X though. But unless you are very sensitive to noises, spending $15 more for a higher quality unit is indeed worth it.
If by some chance that you decide to get the RM series, try calling Dynaquest and see if they can verified the serial number. If the first four numbers is 1438xxxxx or higher, it should mean that you have the updated revision with the higher quality NCC capacitors. Try to aim for that.
