Which PSU?

WojtasRed · Apr 11, 2009

Code:

Tagan 700W -U33 2-Force II
OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W
OCZ GameXStream 700W SLI
OCZ 700W StealthXStream

Can you tell me what will be the best pick?

alexp999 · Apr 11, 2009

Are they the only choices?

And is there four or three choices? :confused:

WojtasRed · Apr 11, 2009

I wanna PSU with 700W and strong 12V and cheap of course. I can buy one of them in almost same price,

alexp999 · Apr 11, 2009

Can you get hold of any Corsairs? Or PC Power and Cooling? Or Silverstone?

WojtasRed · Apr 11, 2009

Only Silver Power SP-SS 650 King Kong

kurosagi01 · Apr 11, 2009

a silverstone 650w is more than enough for your system dude =p

alexp999 · Apr 11, 2009

Hmm, that SP-SS650 is made by seasonic.

You got any other made by Seasonic, they are one of the best.

Why bother when OCZ is PCP&C just cheaper??

If he wants cheap and reliable then he may as well get an OCZ unit, I have 3 and they have never let me down powering simple things like a Pent D server with a ATI X1300 to my main rig with E8400 and 9800GTX.

@OP: The StealthXStream is the same as the GameXStream apart from it doesn't have the blue LED...ModXStreme is modular so will be better for cable management but is more expensive....without knowing what case you have its hard to tell you what one to get, but if the case is small or bad for cabale management then get the modular unit....if its a fairly big case get the StealthXStream as the blue LED fan in the Game unit doesn't offer anything better and you pay more.

alexp999 · Apr 11, 2009

I know the OCZ arent bad, just wanted to check they werent the only choices, because for all I knew a Corsair could have been available for the same price

aCid888* · Apr 11, 2009

I wasn't trying to be an ass Alex, don't worry lol

And if they are at the same price they he should get one.

I doubt they are though....they are very nice PSU's

alexp999 · Apr 11, 2009

Wasnt saying you were being an ass, just wanted to explain why I asked if there were more available

Flyordie · Apr 11, 2009

I have that powering the rig in my specs. Love it. Cost me $75 shipped, BNIB 5yr warranty.

btarunr · Apr 11, 2009

Corsair TX750W is going cheap globally. See if you can get that. Among these choices, I have to pick the Tagan 700W, out of the good experience I had with ABS-Tagan ITZ700W. They're not exactly the same brand, though the same manufacturing source.

I have had 3 Tagan brand PSUs burn out in the last 4 years. So I stopped using them. Just wasn't worth the risk. Then went to SeaSonic and haven't had a single hiccup. Been with Seasonic since Feb 08. First SS was the Antec EA380 and it took a beating... powered the rig in my specs for about a week while the SS-550HT was being shipped to me. lol. So my 2 cents = Any of the OCZs really.

Homeless · Apr 11, 2009

Tbh out of those choices, I wouldn't choose any of them. But if I had to choose, it would be the tagan

ShadowFold · Apr 11, 2009

Those OCZ are FSP units, which is a very good brand.

alexp999 · Apr 11, 2009

OCZ are still second best IMO.

WojtasRed · Apr 11, 2009

What about CORSAIR CMPSU-650TXEU - 650W TX?

alexp999 · Apr 11, 2009

YES YES YES YES!!!!!

Thats the one!

Good choice. Very well built seasonic unit

WojtasRed · Apr 11, 2009

In my country this CORSAIR CMPSU-650TXEU - 650W TX is a bit cheaper than OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W and OCZ GameXStream 700W SLI

So it`s a better choice?

Flyordie · Apr 11, 2009

i also nominate that.

Dark_Webster · Apr 11, 2009

That Corsair is an excellent unit. I have a VX450 powering my system and it's great. Corsair has great PSUs.

alexp999 · Apr 11, 2009

If the Corsair was even a little more expensive it is the better PSU to get.

The fact it is cheaper answers your question for you. Get it!

CDdude55 · Apr 11, 2009

You should go with a Corsair PSU, i hear great things about em.

I do like my OCZ Stealthxstream 600w PSU, so if your only going to pick one of those three in the OP i say go Stealthxstream.
