Psu Question???

[iCoNrant]

I have 2 psu that I'm very interested and price almost the same. 

 

Cooler Master V850 Gold V2 = $132

Or

Nzxt C850 = $129

Prices are converted from Malaysia. 

 

CM was created by Gospower. 

Nzxt was created by Seasonic. 

They both have review on Tom's hardware. I don't have link here but maybe you guys can checked or I just buy the cheapest one because they both 850w psu.

Can someone link him to the forum's PSU tier list? IDK who's account it is on or where to find it.

Searching for PSU tier list gives immediate results.

Altho i checked its not helping as both are single rail Tier A PSU's. (so very good ones)

They are both good, and will probably last a long while.

So since they also same power, it might come down to extra features.

Like maybe one of them has a 0-fan speed setting (i love it so silent) or some other stuff that might be interesting.

@HanZie82 They both comes with 0 RPM mode. I think is just comes down to price IMO

The NZXT C850 (rebadged Seasonic Focus Plus Gold) and the Cooler Master V850 are not that far apart in terms of quality.

For me the deciding factor would be the noise, and the 135mm fan in the V850 is quieter than the 120mm fan in the C850. They both have semi-passive fan modes but the C850 (and Focus Gold Plus) can get noisy under heavy load, with Cybenetics measuring the C850 at 44dBa at 100% load. The Cooler Master V850 does not have in-line capacitors in its cables, it uses flat ribbon style cables, which can be easier to manage than the thicker cables used for the C850 which have caps. For the quality of life reasons I would pick the Cooler Master. The measly $3 price difference between the two units isn't really enough to factor in to the decision.

The PSU tier list is pinned to the top of the Power Supply forum. It is the top post on this board. The PSU tier list is not the be all and end all, and people are always better off creating a topic to ask questions instead of referring to the PSU tier list, especially in situations like this where the two PSUs they are trying to compare are ranked in the same tier on the list (Tier A). Linking to the tier list would provide no new information or insight.

There's a note pinned to the top of the PSU Tier List that shows on every page of the thread telling people to create a new thread to ask for help choosing a power supply. Would be pretty pointless if people read the tier list, see that note, create a new thread, and then someone wanting to up their post count comes along and tells them to just go back to the tier list. It would be like one of those children's choose your own adventure books where page 12 tells you to go to page 34, then page 34 tells you to go back to page 12.

I found Xpg Core Reactor 850w is cheaper the price of these so I'm getting the core reactor, Good explanation. Looks like you do your homework really well.

@Spotty This just a thing that keep repeating over and over again non stop for what it is. Psu tier list give you an indication which product is better than the other. But the psu are in the same tier will be a different story for a separate conversation / thread.

I don't browse the forums by specific categories, so I never even navigated to the Power Supplies page. Anyway, thanks for the navigation info.
