Posted July 12, 2021 Hey, so if anyone knows more than power supplies than i do i would really appreciate some help. i wanna upgrade my power supply but am unsure if i should go for the C-Series NZXT unit or the XPG core reactor series. both seem to be solid units but i want to know if one is inherently better.

The NZXT is better and decent one Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1355754-psu-upgrade/#findComment-14866155 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 12, 2021 XPG Core Reactor has a decent CWT platform that's better than the Seasonic Focus based NZXT C-series.

Leadex III vs the Core reactor. what would be the better one for a high end system. i know both are like top dog PSU's (even the NZXT one is even though it lacks in some aspects).

Personally I like the fanswitch on the Leadex with 3 settings: semi-fanless, silent and perfomance.
