In the last question, what I was trying to ask was if a 750w g2 should be more future proof for a single GPU and/or CPU exchange, or it would be the same has a 650w g2? I think it should be the same right? I say this because from what I understand the tendency should be to reduce wattage consumption and not increase it. Anyway I will go for a 750w. Thanks.

Thanks Peakfire, that clarifies a lot, just a quick question, in normal games what was the wattage, 300 something watts? The thing is I can buy a 750w g2 with discount for practically the same price has a 650w g2, should I still go for the 650w? I'm a single powerfull GPU guy, so in regards to future proofing, the tendency is to reduce wattage consumption right?

I see, thanks, I made a calculator test for my system, this was more or less the results, Very near the limit, shouldn't I play it safe and go for 750w? Also if my system is 580w under load, and i'll use it alot to play games, and even overclock, isn't that above the preferable 50/60% load mark? My GPU power consumption is up to 375w + CPU and the rest, it should be 400 something watts, with a 750w it should be more or less in the middle?

Thanks, do you think that is the case with evga g2 and p2? From what I read in JonnyGuru it looks like the p2 is even better without compromises, but I am not very good at reading those numbers/values, what do you think?

Hi, I am trying to decide which PSU to get, this is my build: CPU - i7 6700k GPU - asus strix OC gtx 980ti MOBO - Maximus Hero VIII RAM - 2x 8gb G.skill 3200mhz cl16 ddr4 SSD - 2x samung Evo 850 1gb FANS - 4x Noctua NF-A14 PWM CPU COOLER - Noctua NH-D15 I will be doing simple/medium Overclock in the future, when games start to demand that, I use gaming mouse and keyboard, and sometimes on top of that I'll be using 1 or more external storage HDD 3.0 and 3.1 in the future for streaming media. So which one is the best for my system? Also is 750w the sweet spot for my system? I read that 50/60% usage of PSU is recommend for efficiency and durability. Thanks.

Thanks

My biggest doubt was which would give more performance/cooling, I can tolerate 2db more (from 17+db to 19+db) which is fine, are you sure in this case the NF-P12 should outperform the NF-S12A in cooling effectiveness? If that is the case I will get the P12.

Thanks WoodenMarker, I'll use reply from now on, the bottom dust filter of the define S is not very dense, I have a Nanoxia Deep Silence 5, and the dust filter is more dense almost invisible holes. But I think that the upper side of the case and the CPU is covered with good airflow and I get good temps, now I only want the cool the GPU a little more, I have a asus strix gtx 980ti that tends to get a little hotter, I could tweak the profile of the GPU fans to spin more agressively, but it would result in a lot more noise, so I want to keep the low profile but help it with a low noise fan, I know that the S12A has less noise than the P12, but if it doesn't help cooling the GPU, than one extra fan for nothing. What do you think?

Thanks yimello, that is indeed logical, but someone told me that the resistance of a normal dust filter without mesh (I don't know if the holes in the case can be considered mesh) is very low, so the the static pressure of the S12A should be enough (1.19mm), and after that it's all about airflow. What do you think?

Hi good people, I have a Fractal design S case, with two Noctua NF-A14 PWM in the front (placed in the upper position in intake) and one NF-A14 PWM in the back of the case (exaust), a Noctua nh-d15 in the middle cooling the cpu and conducting air from the front through the back. Now I want to install one fan at the bottom of the case to help cool the GPU and have more positive pressure, it has to be a 120mm because of the size of the PSU. I was thinking of the Noctua NF-S12A PWM with 62.21 cfm airflow and 1.19mm static resistance. or Noctua NF-P12 PWM with 54.3 cfm airflow and 1.68mm static resistance. Which one should I go for, knowing that the bottom of the case has a dust filter but some typical relatively large holes? Should I go for better static resistance, or is the 1.19mm of the S12A enough? Am I doing something wrong in my cooling setup? Thanks. I'll Leave a Image of the bottom here:
