Posted March 8, 2019 Hi, I know there are already posts asking about Corsair vs Evga but ive decided to make my own. Does anyone know what psu I should be looking at for a semi silent environment. gpu: rtx 2080ti cpu: ryzen 7 2700x ram: 16gb G.Skill trident Z 3200mhz m.2: Samsung 970 evo 1tb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 8, 2019 EVGA N1 450W Something like a Corsair HX/AX/AXi or SeaSonic Prime Ultra 750W+. The SeaSonic is about the same quality as the AXi for much less, so I'd get it.

Posted March 8, 2019 Whisper M 550W, Straight Power 11 550W, Dark Power Pro 11 550W or RM650i. Depending on the pricing and availability. EVGA doesn't really have quiet units (except for the T2), and all of them lack multi rail. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But OP doesn't need that much power, so I suggest a RM650x or RM650i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even seen issues with some 650W PSUs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But OP doesn't need that much power, so I suggest a RM650x or RM650i. If you tune down the efficiency to 80+ Gold, you save nearly 80$ on the Prime. It's still the same quality iirc, just worse efficiency. Ryzen 7 3700X / 16GB RAM / Optane SSD / GTX 1650 / Solus Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mainly been looking at corsair rm850x / i and the supernova 850w g2. Any opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at jonnyGURU's reviews, the AXi has better ripple, but the two's ripple are in such a good bracket that for normal use, it really would not matter at all. I'd go for the SeaSonic Prime Ultra series, it's a pretty good PSU equivalent to the AX or AXi. If you think I'm being a shill, I did support Corsair like this a few months ago on PSUs, and the line is honestly pretty good so it's valid to say it's good ok thanks bye Ryzen 7 3700X / 16GB RAM / Optane SSD / GTX 1650 / Solus Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 8, 2019 The RMx is quiet. The Bitfenix Whisper mentioned above is also a good unit if you don't mind the hideous 24 pin cable. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/2HbwrH/corsair-rmx-2018-650w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020178-na https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/DQx9TW/bitfenix-whisper-m-650w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-bp-wg650umag-7fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 8, 2019 Just now, jonnyGURU said: AX850 isn't Gold. It's Titanium. Based on Prime Titanium. Yes, but in terms of quality the Prime Gold seems to be about the same, and the efficiency gap isn't that big. It's not like we're making a jump from 80+ White to 80+ Platinum here lol Ryzen 7 3700X / 16GB RAM / Optane SSD / GTX 1650 / Solus Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prime Ultra is slightly higher quality, and has a longer warranty. Ryzen 7 3700X / 16GB RAM / Optane SSD / GTX 1650 / Solus Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 8, 2019 Author So the best psu for my money with this build would be a Seasonic Prime Ultra Gold 750W? Is there a point in spending an extra £30 on just build quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
