Posted November 25, 2013 Okay so Newegg is having a deal for the next two days and I was wondering which PSU to get, The Corsair HX650 or the SeaSonic SS-660XP2? The HX is like $114 and the SeaSonic sale is $99 I was wondering which one is better and If this version of the SeaSonic would be worth getting?

Posted November 25, 2013 The SeaSonic one by a mile My Pc: Cpu: I7 4790k @ 4,8 Ghz @1,25 volts, Motherboard: Maximus VII Formula, Graphicscard: 2x Titan X @1,4 at stock voltage (soon to be replaced), Ram: 32 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 Cl 9, SSD: 2x 850 Pro 1 Tb in Raid 0, 2x Samsung 840 Evo 1 tb raid 1,, PSU: Corsair HXi Series 1000W 80+ Platinum, Case: H440. Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 25, 2013 SeaSonic makes the HX650... You are only paying for a sticker (maybe support, but SeaSonic isn't that bad).

Posted November 25, 2013 Author Okay I was sure the SeaSonic one was going to be the better option, and cosmetics don't bother me that much I just want performance.

Posted November 25, 2013 You should go with the seasonic they are very good PSUs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 25, 2013 The HX650 is made by SeaSonic. Quality is no different, you'd be paying more for the Corsair name, lower efficiency, and loss of full modular design and all black cables.

Posted November 25, 2013 Seasonic, even though i love corsair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 25, 2013 The HX650v2 is essentially the same unit as the Seasonic G 650RM (SS-650RT) internally but offer inferior connectivity (two PEG connectors vs four on the Seasonic for SLI/CFX support). The SS-660XP2 is a superior unit functionally and electrically. If you can get the Seasonic for cheaper, definitely get it over the Corsair.

Posted November 26, 2013 I have actually been looking at that same Seasonic, myself. I've read a lot of positive reviews on this psu and it will probably end up in a new build soon. Good luck and let us know what you decide on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
