No not yet, not sure if I have the PSU or proof or purchase still but I will look! While this is definitely true in some cases, the RM850X is only $20 more than the RM650X so to me that's quite negligible.
Yeah I am not overly concerned I just don't really see a downside to paying $20 extra for a PSU that I will absolutely never had to worry about hitting power limit, gives me the option to upgrade CPU or add a second GPU or even move over to X299.
Look online at pretty much any 8700K running at 5GHz with a 980Ti, 1080 or 1080Ti with an OC also and it's very common to hit 500W from the wall.
There is nowhere near me where I can get a DPP 11 550W or Whisper M but comparing the prices
RM850X - $185
RM650i - $189 (RM650X - $165)
DPP 11 850W - $299 (unfortunately only store that sells be quiet! locally only has 850,1000 and 1200W)
On some PSUs, yes. On the RMX series, no. Check the datasheet.
Yes that RMX and Focus series do go single rail but in reality this really is by no realistic standards less safe.
This thread is very quickly getting out of hand. I asked for recommendations on 850W PSUs and instead multiple people are now discussing whether $20 for 200W, lower acoustics and slightly higher efficiency is worth it.
I'll happily take any recommendations for 750W and 850W PSUs and all pieces of personal experiences or reviews of PSUs but beyond that can we save everything else for another thread please.
BongCloudBandit got a reaction from Settlerteo in Best 850W PSU currently?
