Title: Which of these PSU? Post by: tospace on October 26, 2012, 05:02:45 PM I have a new 5750 to go with my 5850 but I'm defiantly going to need a new psu first, probably at least 550 watts on the same rail and I'll pass my old one down along with a 9800gt :).
I really like the Thermaltake Toughpower ones cuz they look nice and beasty but theres always deals on these APEVIA ones so I don't know which one to get. I imagine these would be good for around the same amount of power but if I paid the extra $20 it would be more reliable, efficient, and its modular, maybe worth it in the long run? If you have any other suggestions lets me know. thanks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148046 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153125 Title: Re: Which of these PSU? Post by: Hippie Tech on October 26, 2012, 10:00:49 PM Go with the best 80+ bronze psu you can afford. Aside from that it all comes down to the +12v rails and how they are configured. eg. a minimum of 20a per rail and at least 50a combined.

The Silverstone even gives you enough PCI-E connectors(you need 3x 6-pin for those 2 cards) right out of the box, no need to convert molex. If it were me and my money, I'd get the Corsair supply. It's cheaper than the Thermaltake unit(after rebate) and has better reviews. Not to mention Corsair>Thermaltake as a brand. Title: Re: Which of these PSU?

skimping on PSU is asking for trouble Title: Re: Which of these PSU? Post by: Jim Rockford on October 27, 2012, 05:52:16 PM +2 for Corsair.
