Which PSU's are reliable at 750W?

[shadowr1ku]

Hello Forum!

 

So after reading the pinned thread, I do need a 750w PSU (970 SLI and OC my i7-4770k).

 

After reading through some threads, Corsair seems to be a no go when it comes to quality/price. I have only seen people suggest Corsair because of brand name I am assuming.

 

TL;DR - Which brands are reliable and look nice in a blacked out build?

EVGA is good

The EVGA G2 is a good price to performance PSU

inb4 everyone spams it

[Interfectorem]

The EVGA 750 G2 is worshiped around here, so I'm going to go ahead and suggest that, since it seems like a nice quality unit.

[ELSknutson]

LOL AGREE^^^^^

[ELSknutson]

other good brands are silverstone and the corsair RM,HX, and AX are good and also the NZXT HALE's are decent

Lol wow, everyone agreed with EVGA G2 and one mentioned Corsair series. Didn't the RM series turn out to be lesser quality?

The RM series are still good quality PSU's even with lower end capacitors on the secondary side, but for the price of it, it should have been perfect basically which the EVGA G2 does and at a lower price point.

I may throw in a list here of some but not all.

 

Cooler Master V series

Seasonic SSR

Super Flower Leadex

Corsair AX/AX(i)/RM/CSM

Antec Truepower

EVGA G2

Enermax Platimax

XFX XTR

Silverstone Strider Gold/SST (?)

 

 

Anything kind of rated at 80+ Gold or higher. currently i think 8-9/10 you'll be reccomended a EVGA G2 Supernova. and i'd say go with that one it's pretty much the go to option for PSU's at this moment in time, nearly getting to 212 EVO levels now as the default reccommendation.

But that huge warranty (10 years i last heard) The Fanless option, the reccomendation by jonnyguru and pretty much everyone else makes the G2 the "go to" option.

 

i'd reccommend it myself , the 850W one i have has ran my system flawlessly and without complaint,

though if you feel like being a rebel i hear the XFX XTR is up there in quality with the Supernova, and i notice linus has a thing going for the V series PSU's from cooler master.

i like my corsair HX750i

If I build another pc, my psu goes out, or I replace my psu to get better cables I'd get an EVGA G2 750w-850w....

For the sake of good information, what would be the difference between the AX/HX with EVGA G2?

Just quality/warrenty?

Mainly the difference would be with the AX series is the efficiency, for both AX/HX series they have a 7year warranty where the EVGA G2 has 10 year warranty. I personally have an AX760 and have no complaints about it.

 

Power quality wise all three of those are excellent in delivering tight clean power to the components.

Well one i believe is that the corsair unit has a automatic fanless function? where as the G2's is manual (I MUCH prefer it being manual on the G2 imo). also warranty wise i believe EVGA's is 10 years if you register it, but 3 years if you dont, where as corsair's is 7 years for the AX i read Same for some HX units (if it's a 750W one it should be 7 years)

 

I hear both corsair and EVGA's customer services are rather really good .

 

Also I believe the AX units are seasonic built, EVGA G2's are Super Flower (Based pretty much on the Leadex Gold PSU by Super Flower), and HX series are ethier Seasonic or Channel Well. then apart from that i believe there is the aesthetics too.

AX(i) i believe is a flextronics build which i hear is a company that does server PSU's.

 

i could be wrong so if i am someone correct me.

Isn't it great that companies make purchasing choices tough? lol. Well I guess which ever gets the better deal between the EVGA G2 or Corsair AX/HX.

[Bravosgrad]

even tho i have an rm because i couldnt wait for shipping kek

[sgtcool]

AX, higher quality

HX quieter than AX and cheaper

dunno about the EVGA one

Pretty much .

 

Good luck!

RM gets rekt by G2

 

 

However if you can live with semi-modularity instead of full, and don't need hybrid fan mode, IMO the 750B2 is a better buy for your money then the 750G2.
