Posted January 16, 2019 Both from corsair, Both are sfx, Both are 600w Both are fully modular, Both have 7yrs warranty One is 80+ gold rated, one is 80+ platinum rated Is the platinum rated worth the extra $20? Does the 80+ rating make any difference? Thanks for the advice.

Posted January 16, 2019 You're getting sleeved cables and a better PWM fan aswell. I'd personally say the $20 is worth it. They have just released a SF700 just in case you need more options.

Posted January 16, 2019 And just in case you were curious, you would save $2.5 yearly on electricity if you paid $20 for Platinum. http://orionpsudb.com/efficiency-calculator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the 80+ rating make any difference? Thanks for the advice. The Platinum version has: Individually sleeved cables. An SFX to ATX bracket. An MCU controlled PWM fan for better fan curve (Gold model is thermistor controlled DC fan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though sadly they still don't allow the Semi Fanless mode to be switched off because there are reasons to have that disabled. For example if a HDD is above the PSU...
