Best Quiet Power Supply ~750W

[Mendokusai]

Hey guys,

 

Like the title suggests, I'm looking for the best quiet power supply around 750W.

 

I'm currently trying to decide between:

(green=like, red=dislike)

1. Corsair AX760 - 80Plus Platinum, fan stays off until 70% load (but 40~50% have been reported), no real-time monitoring, pricey
   
2. Corsair AX760i - 80Plus Platinum, fan stays off until 20% load, real-time monitoring, pricey
   
3. Corsair RM750 - 80Plus Gold, fan stays off until 40% load (but 60% have been reported??), very limited real-time monitoring, 3/4 the price of the AX models
   
4. And any others you guys recommend! (Please introduce me to other models & brands!)
   

Zero RPM mode is a must. 

Being able to monitor the PSU's detail activities is nice. 

I'd like to have 80Plus Platinum but Gold works too.

I'd say either the RM Series or the AX760. I really like the look of the RM Series cabels and that is why i went for the RM1000.

Anything Be Quiet! is amazing, just finding a retailer in north america is hard. Idk how their how long until the fan goes on, but I bet you won't even be able to hear the fan unless you are watercooling

Go with trusted brands such as Seasonic, Corsair, XFX, Cooler Master, even EVGA makes some good PSU's. There is no "best" PSU. But, out of the 3 you listed, I'd go with the RM750, Gold efficiency is outstanding.

The RM series also have shorter warranty and lower electrical specs. I don't know where you heard that the AX760 stayed on at 70% load though. The RM750 shown to have done that one TPU and [H] review; however, that was a defect in which Corsair had to fix.

 

How much each of them cost from where you are buying it at? Can you provide a link to the store you are buying from?

RM Series from Corsair is pretty good.

EVGA 750W G2

 

Read this review. It's for 1000W model put it applies to 750W as they are the same platform

10 Year warranty, fan won't turn on to a certain percentage load, fully modular, great OEM, and nicely sleeved cables

 

Plus, you're getting EVGA support, which is legendary

Here's the review specifically on the 750w G2 at TPU: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/SuperNOVA_G2_750/

RM psu's arent worth their money and their I series aren't really quiet psu's with their garbage fan profile which is extremely annoying. I would just vote for a 750 G2 it's just a nobrainer especially for its price, not much competition out there.

Corsair's own website claims the 70% figure, but TPU tested and the result was 40% or so and TPU pointed to higher ambient temps.

As of the store I'll be buying from, it'll always be NCIX (http://www.ncix.com/).

 

The EVGA G2 looks really impressive, and I'm thinking I might just get that instead!! But I'm just wondering if there are any other PSUs that offer a similar feature set? If there's one like it but with 80 Plus Platinum or real-time monitoring, I won't mind paying a bit more.

You're just going to play with that feature for like 10 minutes then you wouldn't ever use it again.
