I've had an Antec fail in a PC I built for my brother.

Seasonic because all of the best Corsairs are built by Seasonic.

I was temporarily running the system listed in my System Specs on a Rosewill 500W PSU from 6 years ago with just the 4-pin CPU power connector after my OCZ GameXStream 700W died (after only 3 years). It ran just fine. I disconnected my optical drive and temporarily set everything back to...

Just got a Seasonic to replace an OCZ (which was about the same price) that died after only 3 years. Happy with it so far. Hoping it lasts a lot longer then the OCZ.

Yea I was tempted to go with the PCP&C 760W, but case noise is an issue for me so I went with the Seasonic X750, which is silent under normal operation. I also didn't want to give anymore money to OCZ. Not sure if PCP&C still has its own support, but OCZ's support was absolutely horrible and...

Ohhh that explains the extra connector and the PCI-E/CPU connector on the PSU side. I was quite confused by that. I didn't even think about dual CPU rigs.

I don't know about yours, but mine came with 3 different CPU connectors. An old school 4-pin 4 pin, a 4-pin to 8-pin and a 6-pin (but with two dummy pins) to 8-pin. Not really sure why.

Yea my X750 has been good so far too and as you said, I don't think the fan has actually spun up yet. Maybe a bit during games, but unlike my OCZ, the PSU is no longer the loudest part of my PC. Interesting, do you have the PSU on the bottom of the case? Mines on the top, and the CPU cable...

Just thought I'd update everyone on this thread. I ended up going with the Seasonic X750 while it was on sale Thanksgiving weekend for $109. Haven't ran it very long so far, just got it last night. My initial impressions are pretty good. It's a bit bigger then the dead OCZ, and the weight...

I'm currently dealing with a dead OCZ GameXStream 700W PSU and OCZ's support is absolutely horrible. They have a ticket based system for RMAs and after dealing with them I will never buy another OCZ PSU again. I'm currently looking for a new PSU as well, and was kinda hoping their would be a...

Just built a 2500K system last night. And as the others said, I can confirm yes it does.

There seems to be two camps: The people who say they have never heard their Seasonic make any noise at all, and the people who complain about coil whine.

I was about to order it until I saw that many people complain about "coil whine" on it. The 750W is on sale today for $120 which also seems like a good price, but the same issue seems way to common reading around the web.

I'm sorta leaning toward the Cosair HX650 or the Seasonic X-650 now because quietness is certainly important. Probably should have just ordered the Seasonic while it was $99 yesterday but I'm gonna wait and see if Newegg has any deals on these or similar models on Friday. If not I guess I'll...

Would the Silencer 760W be noisier then my old OCZ or a Corsair HX650/750?
