Posted June 6, 2013 Corsair AX760i Silent - Tick Black and Orange/Red - Half tick? Fully Modular - Tick Plus - 80+ Platinum High quality Trusted Brand 7 Years warranty *Note* 760W is more than you need by about 150W, with your specs you'll only need a 500W PSU.

Posted June 6, 2013 Such an open ended question. There are loads of PSUs to choose from.First, What's your budget? If it's under $150 then I'd recommend this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151087 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 6, 2013 I wouldn't even consider the 760/860i's. I have had both myself and each has suffered with coil whine issues, And I'm not the only one, check out Corsair boards and see for yourself.

Posted June 6, 2013 Author The Corsiar AX760i looks great. The extra Power it has I might use for a sound card in the future and just in general as a safety margin. As for the Seasonic PSUs, they are not available at my german retailer.

Check out the Silverstone Strider's Seasonic X-Series Talk about being unlucky O.o Corsair PSU units are usually extremely high quality. On topic - If you don't want to experience coil-whine, Sliverstone and Seasonic also produce extremely high quality PSU, look for PSU's around 550-750W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the Silverstone Strider's Seasonic X-Series No, that's the non "i" models you are talking about. And about every unit that's produced by Seasonic at that time, even Seasonic's units themselves, have suffered from coil whine issues.

I'm using the 760i right now, and it's buzzing like a bee hive.

Posted June 6, 2013 Go with the Silverstone ST75F-G Evolution or the ST85F-G Evolution. Why? : First of all actually Corsair - Seasonic has alot of issues with Coil Whine / Fan controller, just check their forums, even in others forums like overclock.net, by exemple, are full of issues like that... The "i" version, well this software is a gimmick, and dont work very well, not accurate at all, the "i" version are made by Flextronics, not a well known OEM actually... Second: Silverstone uses AirPenetrator 139MM Fans on their PSU, and its Dynamic Fluid Bearing, way better than the cheap YateLoon dual-bearring that will break soon because of the heat inside the PSU. Silverstone uses Enhance for their OEM... an excellent OEM. 3rd: The colors theme on the Silverstone arent black and red, but there is a quality mesh on that unit, check it out in some reviews, its a beast :D. And they include a magnetic dust filter on their PSU, so its a good + on that :D Now with the positive of corsair: Great customer service, and a great warranty! Seasonic has only 3 years warranty on theses units.... Sorry for the english, tried my best :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
