Hi guys,

 

I'm looking at getting a new PSU simply due to the fact that my Corsair CX750M is noisy and not the best quality, which I never really noticed before since I upgraded and kept a couple of components from my old system (Including the psu). My system specs are in my signature, but I want to have enough power available for a possible future SLI upgrade and room for abit of overclocking.

 

Anyway, the long and short of it is I want a PSU that's quiet(ish), and has sleeved, preferably white/red sleeving to go with my build. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. I'm aware that I can source the sleeved cables separately but didn't know if there were any PSU's out there that come with them? Alternatively, where would you recommend looking for them (I live in the UK)?

 

Thanks in advance.

Even a 650w psu is fine for sli :) in my case i7 @4,2ghz and sli gtx970 :)

I would go for a Seasonic or XFX psu and get some sleaved cables from NZXT or Bitfenix.

Or Ebay.

The first ones I'd recommend are the Silverstone Sleeved cables, but these are only extensions and not the entire thing. If you're looking for the entire cable, I don't know enough to give an accurate enough answer.

I'm looking for a full set of cables if I can, I don't have a shroud to cover my PSU so would preferably go for the entirety of the cable being sleeved. I'll check them out though, thanks.

I know corsair and EVGA sells sleeved cable kits for their high end PSU's. Sleeved cables don't come cheap and they don't usually make them for cheaper power supplies. Your best bet would be to find some sleeved extentions and use those.
