Is this power supply any good?

[JustAGamer325]

Hi everyone!

 

Just wanted to ask if the corsair TX750M is a good poer supply.

[Mateyyy]

Yes, but do you really need 750W? You might be better off going with a higher-end, lower wattage unit instead, like an RM550x.

What components are you looking to power with it?

[5x5]

Yes but you probably don't need 750W. What build are you powering?

[Haro]

do you need 750w ? 

550 is plenty for most cases 

[Xayrn]

Get a RX550x like Mateyy said, I assume you aren't powering a Titan.

3700X, Gigabyte RTX 2070 super, Asus ROG Strix b450-f gaming mobo, 970 EVO, Barracuda 2TB, LG 27GL850 monitor, Ballistix 16GB cl16 3600mhz. Couldnt find the 650w version on amazon.co.uk at the moment.

what about the tx550m ?

or the rm550x ? 

or the MWE gold thats also a good option

Thought I would need a 600w+ psu since that is the recommendation for that GPU.

your system wont consume more than 400w so no not really

Manufacturers just always tend to overshoot those numbers.

At full 100% unrealistic load, the 3700X will pull around 80-90W and the 2070S probably around 220-240W. Add in some fans, chipset, RAM, etc., and you reach let's say around 360-375W.

I know eb is telling you to get the 550. I would say the same, but if u have money get the 750 now buy it, why not. PSus usually last longer then your PC parts, and they don't need to be upgraded for performance issues. I bought a 750 one like 5 yo ago, I would be fine with 600 too (even if I go for 9900k I have a 9600k now). But who know maybe the new nvidia cards would s*ck up like 400 W, or you go for a titan or quadro for work next time.

So if you have the money that you wouldnt spend elsewhere in the build why not, its a good psu.

(Bonus 750 W psu uses less power from the wall then the 550 W, and usually operates on lower temps)

wattage has nothing to do with quality 

and if anything things will consume less power in the future

Pretty unlikely considering a 2080ti currently consumes 50w more than the 1080ti.

Why not spend it for a lower wattage but better quality psu instead?

Some ppl has wasteable money, idk if he/she has it thats why I said "if".

I know wattage has nothing to do with quality, that last longer part is in general, for every psu (interpret then quote pls).

And for the future part, I know, but like I said it (again interpret then quote pls), if he/she would need a titan/quadro, maybe for job it's better to just get a new card, than a card + new psu (and maybe resell the old one, or just put it in junk - therefore more e-waste)

I’d recommend avoiding that board, get a Tomhawk Max, Mortar Max or Tuf-WiFi instead.

im pretty sure some one would know that at that point a psu upgrade is needed lol

That's not necessarily true. You've got to take into account what the actual power draw of the system is and then take into account the two PSU's efficiency curves. Even then though it'd be a marginal difference in favour of either unit.

NVidia is working on a new cooling system, is this +50W continues (but I dont thing they can manage that mutch heat), thats +100 in 3 years.

This thing was not for this psu it was just for the 550 vs 750, he can buy a better quality 750 W too.

what do you mean ?

They are making a fan system that pushes air out in 2 sides (they say its mutch better, idk why but i dont think they are doing it for no reason), and with bigger heatsinks (in founders e).

So they want to make it colder or juse it up with more W.

i have seen it already

heat sinks have nothing to do with power draw 

whats your point

a beefier cooler does not mean more power draw from the cooler lmao and if you mean the gpu then we cant know 

all of there are rumors

that has nothing to do with power consumption. if it did then nobody would be watercooling 1660tis.

Feed that lot into PC Part Picker, as a build & you'll get a power rating that'll give you the power needed but those parts - add 10-15% to what it recommends & you've get the 'size' of PSU you need.
