Evga > RM series all day every day. Evga can do no wrong since they went with Super Flower as their OEM of choice.

Bah, they are both perfectly capable PSUs. While EVGA outsources their manufacturing to Super Flower, Corsair uses Seasonic, which is no slouch in the PSU industry on its own.

Corsair also consistently ranks high in JonnyGuru testing as shown here with the Corsair RM1000x receiving a perfect 10. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=449

I love EVGA too, but there is no need to preclude another perfectly good brand just because of some bias. I have owned and will continue to own both brands. I have also had to RMA power supplies from both brands, with both offering excellent customer service and a no hassle RMA process.

In reality you really cannot go wrong with either brand, just get whichever one is on sale at any given moment that suits your needs.

One final note, once you start looking past 5-6 GPUs you really should start to consider using a server PSU with a breakout board, as they are better suited for large rigs and can deliver the wattage you need from one unit using 220V input. Their pricing is also very competitive with the higher end consumer PSU's, especially considering the fact you would often need utilize two consumer PSUs once you go past 6 GPUs.

A lot of good advice here.

And to mention a completely different psu

The rosewill quark platinum is also a very good choice for a 4 gpu rig.

Cooler Master V1000 - Fully Modular 1000W 80 PLUS Gold PSU with Silencio FP Silent 135mm is also good option

my ps evga 1300 w are broken  Huh Huh Huh Huh
And? It’s like calling tech support saying your computer stopped working without giving any information.

EVGA is my go to option for PSUs, Corsair never worked that well and somehow EVGA provide better PSUs for less money. RM series is known to be pretty bad anyways, if you are buying high wattage PSUs getting a slightly more expensive but reliable model helps. A lot.

 EVGA G2 series is my #2 option - and still available most of the time where my #1 option Seasonic X-Series is pretty much out of stock everywhere.

 I won't even look at the G3 series or the Seasonic "Prime" series (or that new lower-end series that replaces the Seasonic "G-series" models) since they moved to a sleeve-type fan instead of a double ball bearing fan.
 FAR too likely to die WAY too fast in high-load high-temp service like my mining environment.


 Corsair outsources their PS manufacturing to DIFFERENT makers depending on the model line - which is why their PS vary so widely from "very good" to "junk".


I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!
