Thermaltake ToughPower GF1 or Corsair RMx750. What should i get?

[Trist100]

Hello!

 

I'm looking to pick up a new 750 watt power supply, i wanted 750 watt to future proof myself for upgrading. Though i don't know what one to pick.

 

Both are about the same prices in canada, both 750 watts. Thermaltake seems to have better ripple protection and voltage fluctuations, and maybe a little bit nicer of cables. But corsair seems to be very quiet and maybe has some cleaner power? 

 

What one should i go for? I feel like Thermaltake gives me more features for my money and more steady power then corsair.

 

Thanks :)

Personally I prefer Corsair but that's just me. I have also had a bad experience with Thermaltake before, and a great one with Corsair.

About 160$ CAD, give or take a few dollars on both brands.

Then I'd get the RMx.

I had one of their SMART units (They are notoriously not the best) and it failed in my system. Thankfully, all of the parts were ok except for the RGB controller. It may have just been a problem with my specific unit, but if you feel safe getting one, don't let me get in your way.

Why would you say that? I'm not saying your wrong. I just wanna people opinion it. :)

I've heard that a lot of thermaltakes power supply units have failed. But it's only certain series. Sorry that happened.

Mainly the fact that it's quieter, but it does also perform slightly better in general (not that the differences are all that meaningful to the user).

 

Here's some in-depth reviews of both units:

Nah, it's good. I had a backup PSU. Maybe their higher-end ones are better, IDK
