No problem. I'm new to Corsair and their model #s, but I would say that is likely a 2021 model of the one I got, built for European voltage systems, which are usually 220-230V as opposed to 110-120V here in North America. The newer model of mine is the same but ends in NA, which I presume means North America. You're in Europe, I take it? The EU on the model number you mentioned likely means Europe or European Union. I would call Corsair just to be sure, but that's how it appears.

I'm planning to get a new PSU because current one "be quiet pure power 11 700w gold" started making weird noise i haven't heard before. I'm not going to take any risks so im just getting a new one I got one in mind "be quiet straight power 11 750w gold", but I can't find anyone who would use this same or any PSU from be quiet in those sick pc building videos most commonly used PSU's cooler master, corsair, seasonic this makes me wonder maybe be quiet is not that good after all since not many use it maybe it's outdated or just not worth the price... So I would really appreciate any recommendations my budget is 140€ I need PSU that would have 700-750 watts would be atleast gold rated and fully modular the be quiet one I mentioned earlier has everything I need, but low popularity of it if I can call it like that makes it hard to decide wether I should get this one or look for another one that's why I'm here asking for advice. My pc specs is RTX 3060 ti i7 10700f 4x8gb 3200mhz samsung nvme 500gb ssd and sata ssd 1tb 700-750watts is more than enough, but since my PSU I have right now already has 700w I don't see a point downgrading it just to save couple of bucks. I will highly appreciate all the help.

I run a 3060ti with a 5900X and went with a Corsair RM850x.

The Straight Power 11 is quite good, definitely a great option. But there might be a better option for you depending on where you are and pricing.

Straight Power 11 is a great PSU, but often overpriced outside of Germany. What country do you live? The tier list linked above can help with buying a new PSU.

They are actually pretty popular in Europe, especially in Germany. Probably like 2nd place with Corsair above it.

 

Gold is just the efficiency and has nothing to do with quality. While higher is better, this shouldn't be a big issue when buying PSUs. For example I'd rather use an EVGA BQ (bronze) than a Gigabyte P-GM (gold).

I'm living in Lithuania it costs here around 133€. But maybe the RM850x is better option?

I made some research on RM850x looks like a decent option how long are you using it? Is it loud or maybe you've encountered any probelms with it. 

 

Zero complaints so far, but it is, after all, a brand-new build, all of two weeks old. Corsair is a pretty good name, though -- I've not heard many complaints about them that couldn't be filed in the 's--t happens' department. Corsair has Zero RPM technology implemented on some of its equipment, and this is one of them. Listed as zero noise. I shut down my case fans and I hear NOTHING. The case fans make more noise, and even they just make a moderate hum that isn't disturbing. Here's the Amazon link. Be aware that they still have some 2018-2019 models which may not be EXACTLY the same thing, just the same wattage. They're a different listing though.

Sorry for all the bother, but here's a model code CP-9020200-EU which I found, it states that its 2021 version can you quickly make sure if that's true and let me know. I'm really grateful for helping.

If it's priced similarly then yes. Quality wise they are similar, but the RMx has more W. I have the 650w version and it's great, also very quiet.

Just to clarify, OP, I chose the 850W just to be certain I wouldn't have any voltage / wattage sag and room for future drive upgrades, etc. PCPartPicker showed the wattage on my build at under 500W. I could have gotten away with a 650W myself, but I thought I might one day step up to a 3090 and want to add another drive or two. Also could help the PSU last longer, as it's not working as hard or as likely to run hot. With wattage, it's generally better to have it and not need it than the other way around.
