Looking for PSU - 1200W

[MrN1ce9uy]

What is a quality 1200W power supply for a 6 GPU (RX 400/500) setup and how much should they cost? What is good and what should be avoided? Hopefully there is one with a good value.

I usually use EVGA G2 1300W and you can sometimes find them in the $200-215 range. I have never had problems with any of them and thus I consider them extremely reliable. The other one I see people use are those 1200W corsairs but I don't have any experience with them myself. If you don't care about dual mining then you could also do the EVGA G2 1000W variety as well.

[MrN1ce9uy]

So you are saying if I mine say ETH only I could use the 1000W G2?

Ya as long as you flash the bios of the gpus and do your settings with msiafterburner.

edit-There are many guides on here that can show you how to do this if you search for them.

I use the Corsair HX1200i's and I love them.  They go on sale once in a while for a good price.

Have one of these and love it. Comes with a USB-USB Header to connect to the MOBO and with Corsair Link you can see the power usage without another device.
Nice feature.

Seasonic X-1250 or EVGA G2 1300 would probably be overkill for a 6x RX 4xx/5xx rig - but I'm not sure the 1000 watt versions of those would be ENOUGH unless you undervolt and drop TDP, and even then it might be a little risky when you first boot up the machine and your undervolt/lower TDP software hasn't kicked in yet (undervolt via BIOS would not have that risk).

i recommend the 1200watt from corsair with corsair link, you cna check the wattage without the wattmenter, and it's a very nice psu with 95% efficiency, it's a little pricy but it's worth it imho

The Corsair HX1200i sounds really nice, except it lacks a double-ball bearing fan. Is fluid dynamic worse than dual-ball bearing? *Plus it costs more than the EVGA 1300 G2 ?!?!
