PSU Questions. I don't care about efficiency just quality, durability, and reliability.

[MarkBrooklyn]

What is the best Power Supply Unit (psu)? 

I'd like 850w or 750w,

I currently have the Evga Supernova 850w P2, but it's $240 and I'd like one of the same "stature" for a lesser price. I don't care about efficiency, just quality, so if it's a downgrade that'll potentially cost me my pc, I don't want it.

Thank you for your help,

efficiency and quality basically go hand in hand, you cant build a very efficient PSU if its not also using quality components but you can build super cheap and crappy PSU´s if they dont need to be efficient.

 

Sure you can get a cheaper one but EVGA is pretty good in terms of quality.

Not really.  You can easily build a highly efficient PSU for cheap.

Have you see EVGA's entire line up?  They have some good PSUs, but also a lot of garbage.

There's some really good Bronze units out there that use LLC (as opposed to double forward) and DC to DC (as opposed to mag amp or group regulation) and have rifle bearing fans.  You can find this information on the "Units Index" tab of the PSU tier list spreadsheet here:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eL0893Ramlwk6E3s3uSvH1_juom7SMG5SCNzP2Uov8w/edit#gid=1529225916

So what's wrong with it ? Or do yo need another one ? If you do we would like to see what are specs of the PC you'll be powering with it but 850W, in US, look at these :

EVGA P2 were pretty damn good (except for being a bit on the noisy side) and these are kinda downgrade, but they're absolutely good enough still, and significantly cheaper.

If you want to go even cheaper :

What do you think about me getting the Enermax Revolution D.F. 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply, and returning my EVGA SUPERNOVA 850w P2 unit? Is it worth the $110 savings or is the p2 really that good?

The Revolution D.F. is a really good PSU.
