Help deciding on PSU

[racer243l]

Hey guys,

 

I´m looking into PSU´s in the 750 to 850 Watt range that feature 2x 8-pin ATX 12V CPU connectors, preferably Gold efficiency.

And finding a PSU with those connectors seems to be a pain.

 

However I found a few and wanted to ask you guys which one to buy.

Those are:

Cooler Master V750 Modular 80+ Gold 750W

Seasonic Prime 750W Modular 80+ Gold

Seasonic Prime 750W Modular 80+ Platinum

Seasonic Prime 850W Modular 80+ Gold

BitFenix Whisper M 850W Modular 80+ Gold 

 

Feel free to recommend others

[zzzzzzzhhh]

I'd go with the Seasonic Prime, whichever one is cheaper for you from the three.

I have no experience with seasonic but the prime models appeal to me out of all of those listed, platinum is a bonus and i doubt you need more than 750w so i reccoment the platinum one

Ironically the 850W one is the cheapest Thanks for your opinion

PCPP says 543W (without OC obviously) so I guess you are right. But PSU´s with less then 750W rarely have the 2x CPU connectors. Thanks

How about Corsair RM 750 X

Its nice to have a little buffer, going for 650/750 isnt horrible, are there any adapters you can buy. surely theres something, or custom cables you can purchase. No worries

Doesn´t have two 8-pin ATX 12V CPU connectors and is pretty hard to get apperently

I think there are some, yes. But I´d like to have some headroom

I believe theres a power supply by seasonic that has two cpu connectors but its a little expensive

The ones I mentioned in my original post all have those connectors That´s why I wanted help deciding which one to buy

They are listed with 2x 4+4pin 12V ATX CPU power

Yep, exactly what I need

[Ordinarily_Greater]

I personally choose the SeaSonic, even though i like the X series more than Prime series. Yeah go for the SeaSonic X 750W Gold or SeaSonic X at the same wattage

Well the X Series are impossible to get here in Germany Only scetchy amazon market place seller has one. The 850W is cheaper so I might get that one

All of those are really good but what are you powering? If it's the 6700K system in your signature your RM550X is plenty, even for OC.

 

If you plan to SLI 1080 Tis then grab yourself an 850W unit, whichever is cheapest among those choices.

It should power a X299 i7 7820x (patiently waiting to get shot ) or Threadripper system this summer. SLI is a huge maybe

Well if you're certain about SLI then an 850W should be your minimum. 1080 Tis use a lot of power when overclocked and in SLI so a 1000W unit might even be justified.

Thinking back to GTX 670 days when I had SLI for a couple weeks I won´t do it again I will stay single card for now.

I have a Seasonic Prime Gold 650W and I'm very happy with it. It's a great PSU!

I will get the 850W Gold since it´s the cheapest right now. Hopefully it will be like this in 3 weeks when I order the parts
