Power supply

[Jorge L. Rojas]

Hi, I recently burned down the power supply, need to buy one but not sure which one, I have an I7, Intel Extreme Mother Bord, 16GB Ram, 5 HD, Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2, some UV Cold Cathode Light Kit, 570 Nvidia Video Card, may be get a new one 970 or 980
I like the corsair, Corsair HXi Series, HX750i, HX850i, Corsair HXi Series, HX1000i
which one do u recommend?

[Electronics Wizardy]

Id get the 750i

[HKZeroFive]

All of those PSUs are absurdly overkill for a GTX 970 or a GTX 980. Just get a RM550x (or RM650i if you're deadset on Corsair Link).

 

You should also be looking at the GTX 1070 and the GTX 1080 rather than Maxwell.

[Jorge L. Rojas]

OK but could you give me a reason,

_{Corsair HXi Series, HX850i why not this one?}

Because you have to basically be retarded to get a PSU that powerful for a single 970.

Even a 550w PSU is more than enough.

[Jorge L. Rojas]

OK i will go for the 750i, many thks

For what? You're not going to get close to needing 750W with either one of those cards under heavy load, let alone 500W. You're honestly throwing away your money here.

See above.

1. Cooler operation

2. Longer life

3. Quieter operation

 

If the cost isn't significantly more I'd go for the 750i

Just get an EVGA 650W P2 or find me a better PSU for the price that is platinum with equal or lower wattage.

That's what I did.

[Jorge L. Rojas]

Many Thks, I will get the 750i

Technically true (because Platinum vs Gold) but it's a very minor (or not noticeable) difference for all your points above. Not worth it if the cost difference is large.

 

Remember the RM650i uses the same FDB fan and has that Zero RPM mode.

Under a circumstance I agree.

If the price gap is large. I say 550W (better value, still good quality)

If the price gap is small. 750W (better deal, slightly higher quality)

[Hunched]

I think OP is broken guys.

They've posted the same broken English post 3 times in a row now despite nobody speaking to them.

If we acknowledge it will it stop? It's scaring me.

 

I feel like I'm being passive aggressively told to shut the fuck up because they've made up their mind.

It's a bit wasteful though... You're not going to be needing 750W either way. The quality difference is very minor.

[Jorge L. Rojas]

 well You made me change my mind, i will get the 750I is the best for the price

[Hunched]

No. It's not the best for the price. Most of Corsair's competitors are priced better.

[Jorge L. Rojas]

ok which one do u recommend?

[Jorge L. Rojas]

evga 650?

[Hunched]

EVGA 650 P2 is cheaper and one of the best PSU's money can buy, and is very quiet. 

So yea I recommend it.

 

[Jorge L. Rojas]

I'm seeing the link, thank you
