Cooler Master 1000W Silent Pro/GOLD ?

[Live OR Die]

Im looking at upgrading my PSU because ill be handing mine over to my gf , I'm looking at the following PSU from Cooler Master

Cooler Master 1000W Silent Pro


Cooler Master 1000W Silent Pro GOLD

Silent Pro Hybrid 1050W

I know there not much difference between the two but is it worth going for the gold?

You're better off with other PSUs. At the prices they have they're not as good as the other PSUs sharing their pricepoints. And sometimes they are actually a bit more expensive with some PSUs that perform better. That's not to say they're bad choices though, just so happens there are better options.

The 1000W Silent Pro Gold is slightly more expensive than the OCZ ZX 1000W for example. Both are modular, both 80PLUS Gold, but the OCZ is better.

Well i was only looking at Cooler Master because i've had mine PSU for 2-3 years and its still working, OCZ i will never buy off just because i've had bad experience with that brand, Corsair seem to charge way to much for there units ?

I guess I shouldn't have bought Caviar Greens because I had bad experience with Western Digital before.
