Bought a tier 3 psu, does it matter compared to tier 1?

Go to solution Solved by Guest,

E-mail them with what you want to do, that you bought a wrong one, it's not enough for your build and if can you get the EVGA, if they agree for some reason send it to them via post office.

 

Is there one closer? there are like 10 on their site (just looked)

 

Maybe call them up and see if they can ship out the new one and you can return yours when it arrives, any reasonable retailer would do this if you ask nicely

I hope one of these work. I might actually want to go SLI later so..

i know this and i still cant live with the corsair? WHY?

 

because you are elitist? 

 

What do you have against them? im no corsair fanboy, but there is nothing really wrong with their stuff, some is good, some is "standard" but I honestly have no issue with most of their stuff

For me its the future proofing, to tell the truth, i probably wont sli, but I feel like I need this incase I do. It's a curse

Thats fair enough, hence why I got the PSU I did for future SLI purposes

EDIT: should i do a "member review" on it?

sure, if you sponsor a CX.

 

my unit from HP is a proprietary unit that deddened and had to be replaced. if i do a review i'll try and crowdsource the reason it deddened.

proprietary unit, and it was for a mission critical machine, so i dont hedge my bets, and just order the official HP part.

The RM is fine for most gaming builds - unless you want the overvolt OC don't bother wasting more money.
