Get an EVGA PSU. Cheaper, better and trusted

 

Corsair PSU's are overpriced for the quality you get.

 

something other than an RM series PSU would be better seeing as there are some rather shady caps in those things. but your wattage is about right.

 

I understand the money issue, but I trust them and It looks nice, so i'm willing to pay the extra for the looks. Problem is, how many watts do I actually need? if 1000 isn't enough Ill go EVGA

they fixed it in the RMi series

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

I think the RMi ones are better (still overpriced).

I was just about to say RMi's have largely improved, my friend showed me one and we compared it to his old RM series. Corsair Link too :D

When you buy corsair power supplies your buying some black box manufactured by another company with a corsair sticker slapped on the side you aren't trusting corsair, your trusting the company they buy them from, and there markups are steep as fuck compared to other brands that do the same thing.

Do you have a bad reputation with corsair?

No, not at all! I have a CX500 that has put up with a fair amount of abuse. Works great. Recommended by me for budget builds all over if it's on sale.

 

It's just that when you find an Earthwatts Platinum 650W for under $60, it's hard to turn down. And then you find that it's a brilliant power supply.

I try not to have bias in my systems, but when I find something good, it does stick.

Ok so, yeah you have a point. And really, I don't need corsair link. Is there any way I can like, "Cover" the sticker without voiding anything, while keeping the build clean?

RMi's are better, but it is true the quality and price of the RM's, but i do say if you CAN get a good deal on one buy it. I got my RM850 for $118 AUD!!!!!!

You have enough wattage for two 980tis for sure at 850W. If you must have 1000W the RMi is good but EVGA has many better priced options.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
