Which is better?

[DarkWitness]

Which psu is better: A 1200w modular 80+ Platinum or a 1500w modular 80+ Gold?

 

Basically I'm comparing the Corsair AX1200i with the EVGA SUPERNOVA NEX 1500w

 

Other question: If I were buying the corsair psu where could I find all the sleeved cables kit?

 

Thanks!!!

What system do you need it for?

[tp95112]

Id go with the 1200w cause its platnium and depending on what your doing 1200 seems more reasonable to hit

What is you system specs? You could potentially get a 80+ Gold 1200w. Also, on Corsair's website, they have PSU accessories and the sleeved cable set on there. With 24 pin, it runs you about $100

1200w platinum unless u have retarded stuff like gtx 780 ti sli

1200w platinum unless u have retarded stuff like gtx 780 ti sli

1200w is more than enough for 3 way SLI 780ti's

dude why do you need that much power

the 1200W 80+ Platinum is better if you can get seasonic then you are good to go (to power a house)

get the 1200w psu

Platinum vs Gold doesn't really matter, but the AX1200i is indeed a better performing unit. If by some chance you need a 1500w PSU (which I doubt), I would recommend the Lepa G1600 over the NEX1500. Another good option you can go with is the EVGA Supernova 1300G2.

 

What are you powering anyways?.

Alright folks listen... I dont need a 1500w psu, Ive just thought that the nex 1500w would be a good goal because it already have individually sleeved cables which I wouldnt get as default with the ax 1200i. Another question is: Where could I find some individually sleeved cables kit for the ax 1200i without buying from the corsair site?

I think BitFenix has some.

 

As for the PSUs, I would go the AX1200i route simply because I don't really like EVGA's PSUs, but that's just me.

The EVGA is a very nice PSU but both will do the job....

[TheNinjaNextDor]

May I ask what the hell you need 1200w for?! Maybe you could save money and go for a 850w or 1000w.

Edit: Both are great. Really just get whichever looks better

Why do you need 1200W ? Mining ?

A 750-850W is enough for a dual GPU system.

 

Answering your question : AX1200i

Alright, as some of you guys feedback I've decided to go with the AX 860i... My system will be pretty much as chosen here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2A0nZ

 

Now here's the question: Where could I find the corsair sleeved cables kit without buying from the online corsair website? What is better: Buying extension cables or fully sleeved cables compatible with the corsair AXi series?

Buying fully sleeved cables would be a better option. If you buy extension cables, then you've to deal with extra cables & fat connectors behind the tray.

Moddiy.com does custom orders as well as having predone ones. 

 

 

Same goes for Frozencpu.com

 

I would go with the Corsair one to avoid that damn bar on the back of the EVGA ones.
