What Psu i should buy?

Capitan Harlock · Jul 10, 2017

I have find 2 Psu that from what i have seen on Jonny Guru are both legit but i can't choose so help me XD.

Kursah · Jul 10, 2017

I've had good luck with both overall, but better luck with EVGA PSU's. Don't think you can really go wrong with either here but I voted EVGA.

AlienIsGOD · Jul 10, 2017

I have an EVGA psu (see specs) and it's been a great unit running 24/7 pretty much. So EVGA gets my vote, not that Tt psu are bad, I just prefer EVGA over Tt and I've owned Tt units before as well

Laki89 · Jul 10, 2017

I voted EVGA not because i like it, it's because i saw strange things happening with Tt supplys
They mostly die in unexplained circumstance
One day it's working for 10 hours benchmarking many Gpu's , next day it refuse to start - died
EVGA is my vote

erocker · Jul 10, 2017

I personally stay away from Thermaltake PSU's.

cdawall · Jul 10, 2017

Looks like nothing wrong with the thermaltake.

says some1 with seasonic...
you see difference between seasonic and termaltake is like difference between heaven and hell

I remember that i had used termaltake PSU for a year in my pc, than i got stronger power supply which i installed in my pc, and put Tt on the shelf
6 months later i used Tt Psu for another computer, but without any reason Psu was dead already

Just for a comparison , right now for about 2 years there is 360 watt Seasonic sitting on shelf
and i use it pretty much rare, but every time it works well

What a great line. :toast:

Nuckles56 · Jul 11, 2017

The way I'd look at it is do you want a RGB fan or not, if you do, get the Tt, if not get the EVGA.

DeathtoGnomes · Jul 11, 2017

Check out the PSU tier list in my sig.

Both PSU are T2, which is good, so now its personal choice, RGB or not.

EarthDog · Jul 11, 2017

Anecdote, anecdote, anecdote, anedote....read the JG reviews and choose from there or price or rgb.

I have a thermaltake 850w black widow CWT build in my garage running 24/7 mining after running rigs for the better part of a decade. It is running around 700w continuous, 24/7/365. I also have a Seasonic snowsilent 750w Platinum unit in the garage. Guess which one shuts off from overheating in the same case, conditions and actually a lower load.

Every company has winners and losers. The Thermaltake the OP is looking at is fine.

Capitan Harlock · Jul 11, 2017

Thanks guys , i can't decide because RGB is not a must have and price is close .
The Thermaltake is at 133€ and the EVGA is at 140€ both on amazon.it
The Thermaltake have 10 year warranty written on the box and the EVGA GQ as it says on EVGA site is 5 years.

I think he's mistaking it though. Hell is a Deer PSU.

If it comes down to the fan bearing being the difference in warranty length, I'd still pick the longer warranty.

RCoon · Jul 11, 2017

Don't understand why EVGA stopped using the Leadex II platform on their GQ series and used FSP instead, but it apparently worked out well for them. FSP have a nice build quality on these considering most of my experience is with their mass production business models and their "reliability". I'd sooner take the FSP over Thermaltake's Sirtec made unit.

Someone will have to correct me, but didn't HighPower use Sirtec as their OEM? I know the odd Silverstone Strider used em but switched over to Enhanced Electronics.

Looked at Corsair there, 5 different OEM. EVGA, stopped counting at 5....

Vlada011 · Jul 11, 2017

Off course EVGA. Why you choose 850W?
You really need arround 850W, or you need to have a little more space.
I would suggest you to go on 850 G2. It's little more, but you pay once in 5-7 years.
Warranty is 10 years.

850 G2 is proven and famous platform.

number of omes isnt as importened as quality of their production. since corsair and evga are more brands then manufacturers i dont care for their oem number.

EVGA Gold, Platinum and Titanium are only Seasonic and Super Flower.
That's for enthusiasts. Others are more for office and lower configurations for them is not important brand.
If you think about branded PSU you should take at least Gold standard. He is standard at the moment for gaming congfiguration and enthusiasts.

EarthDog · Jul 11, 2017

Gold is an efficiency rating. It has nothing to do with standards. You can have crappy gold rated psus.

If i could spend more , i would have looked at Superflower and other brand but i can't spend more than 140€ .
I need 850watt because i have a lot of hds and i wanna have room for overcloking and because is cheaper then years ago get a 850watt.

EarthDog · Jul 11, 2017

Hdds really dont use a lot of power man... really. In looking at your sig, a quality 650w psu, like evga g2/g3 650w would be a great choice and allow for plemty lf overclocking and have headroom for more.
