PSU purchase

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

Enermax Revo 280$
Coolmax 1350

Neither, I think both are gross overkill.

Sry, let me explain. I'm going to install either into a high end gaming and F@H machine

EDIT: 4ghz + i7 OC

 

[BlueAcolyte]

Hmm, Enermax, I guess.

1. Why only these two PS in a world of hundreds?
2. Is your brain locked into "modular"?

I'm trying to understand your thinking, so that I can make relevant suggestions.

How many and what kind of video cards. It is inefficient to get a too powerful a PSU.

He said a "high end gaming" machine, so obviously he's running triple 295 cards.

If you have 3-4 video cards and/or 6-10 hard drives, then such a PSU might be worth it. If you just have 1-2 video cards and 1-3 hard drives, though, you'll probably be fine with a 500-750W unit.

Ok, thanks all for the replies, I think I have it covered.

:beer: 😀

Cheers!

Antec Signature 850 would be a much quieter choice, also very good quality.

Use a PSU calculator and make SURE you need all that power.

I'm running a balls to the wall overclocked Q9550, 2 hard drives, and a GTX260 Core 216 just fine on 620W, and I've got enough juice for a few more hard drives or another graphics card. Unless you're running triple SLI, a RAID10 array, and a 5 GHz i7, you don't need 1.3 kW.

Warn the power station before booting up.

I still have an Enermax Revolution 950 im using with my 8400 that I could just shift into the i7 build and ...sell off the 8400. I might do that.
