Also choosing between 3 PSUs: Focus GX, Supernova G6, or MSI AGF

[Laytony]

All 850W, I want something compact (140mm) with no in-cable caps (24 pin is fine), and AFAIK, that applies to both the Focus and the G6. The AGF is 160mm unfortunately... but it's apparently based on a very well-regarded platform and it's so cheap I might be able to look past that and try fitting it in my case with a little more elbow grease.

 

I know it's overkill for my 3700x/3060ti but I'm currently on the hunt for a 3080 and I just want something to last for as long as it can.

As someone that has used two older model Supernova PSUs, I can say they have worked very well for me. My old workhorse is a corsair 850W though. The Focus is a very good option in my personal opinion. I can't say much about the AGF though, because I am inexperienced on MSI PSUs.

They are all great. I would get the cheapest one, or the EVGA/Seasonic because of size.

Between those three, totally the MSI A850GF.

Focus has been performing well in my limited experience.

Shit um, I was about to order it but the leadex III came in with the $110 sale. Now I'm really trying to wrap my head around this because I forgot about the silent switch I so desired as well. So now I'm choosing between noise and cables without caps. Between these two top rated psus, do I just flip a coin?

The cables of the AGF are NOT more flexible than the cables of the Leadex III. I like the Leadex III more because it has a better fan and is more silent. A lot more silent. The AGF ia always audible, even at very low loads. In semi passive mode the Leadex III is fanless upto >60% load and inaudable in silent mode.

Damn, do you prefer the leadex cables over the AGF? I won't be doing cable extensions because my psu basement is already really crowded thanks to my HDDs. Just want something easy to work with.
