Seasonic SS-750XP2 Snow Silent 750W

ESPImperium

I have not seen many reviews or opinions on this PSU as I like to see a couple to three reviews before i make my mind up. I am thinking about replacing my Corsair RM550 as i think it may be to blame for my 1070 Strix and machine blue screening when overclocking my 1070. My old 970 Strix didn't blue screen when i had it. Im thinking about getting a second GPU as well in order to test if it is my GPU pulling too much power.

 

How good a PSU is it? Or should i just get a 750W PSU from Corsair?

 

Thanks in advance.

550W is enough for a 1070 which uses marginally more power than a 970 so that's not your issue. Your PSU is also still under warranty so just RMA it if you think it's the culprit.

but will a 550watt SLI? i'd be close. damn close.

 

A 750 will do great and that SeaSonic is a great unit.

Ah, in that case then a 750W Snow Silent is a solid choice.

I'm not running SLI, I'm running it on a Asus Z170I ITX board with a 6600K @ 4.3Ghz.

 

I'm wondering if there is other issues as I'm having Windows Store update issues, and game issues on a couple of games on the X Box One Emulator for Forza games. It wont detect purchases.

it's a more or less optimized version of the regular P-750W version, just with a white main PCB, white casing, white fan and an FDB fan instead of the Sanace one. So depending on availability and so on, you also might want to choose the normal XP2 version over the Snow Silent as the main advantages are just the FDB fan vs. the Sanyo Denki San Ace 2BB (very very high quality) and the color of the stuff...

With no OC, it's possible.

Maybe you shuld check consumption with a Kill-A-Watt or similar device?

well i don't think that's got anything to do with your PSU...
