I guess it means that the voltage on the 12V rail doesn't drop to 11.4V like it does with the 550W PSU I am using nowWhat does that even mean "barely flinches"?

RM1000x can stay quieter with the same hardware, that's a feature worth mentioning.
No, you totally missed @Keullo-e's fine, and absolutely correct point.No if you see the noise chart from www.cybenetics.com/ it's almost identical at least until 550 watts that my system can consume. And they got the same fan too.

No I disagree. I stated what I stated based on Watts not on load percentage.No, you totally missed @Keullo-e's fine, and absolutely correct point.
To illustrate, assume a 600W load from the connected components. That will impose only a 60% load on the 1000W supply.
But that same 600W load on a 750W supply imposes an 80% load on the supply.
A supply running at 80% load WILL generate more heat which then may cause the fans to spin up sooner and spin faster thus creating more noise.
Therefore, saying the 1000w supply "can stay quieter" is absolutely correct.

That is still incorrect because (1), your statement claimed Keullo-e's comment was wrong - it wasn't. And (2), it is ALL ABOUT the load as a percentage! When dealing with power supplies you cannot ignore or dismiss the load as a percentage of the supply's capacity.No I disagree. I stated what I stated based on Watts not on load percentage.
Huh? With the same load and efficiency, it will NOT generate more heat.And I don't argue if the 1000W PSU will generate more heat
Again, not Keullo-e's (or my) point.The 1000W PSU is not more efficient on 500W or below from the 750W PSU.
"For example, a 300W load on a 325W supply presents a 92.3% load on that supply. It would be cooking!"That is still incorrect because (1), your statement claimed Keullo-e's comment was wrong - it wasn't. And (2), it is ALL ABOUT the load as a percentage! When dealing with power supplies you cannot ignore or dismiss the load as a percentage of the supply's capacity.
For example, a 300W load on a 325W supply presents a 92.3% load on that supply. It would be cooking!
What if we were talking about a 600W load on a 650W supply? Same wattage as with the 750 and 1000W supplies, same efficiency but now that supply is nearly maxed out at over 92% load! It too would be cooking and its fan would likely be running at full speed and sound levels.
Sure, you may say in your mind 600W load needs more headroom than a 650W supply provides, and while you may not be thinking in terms of percentages, that really is what you are talking about - whether you realize it, or not.
Huh? With the same load and efficiency, it will NOT generate more heat.
Let's say the 1000W supply and 750W supply have the exact same efficiency across their entire load range. For argument sake, let's say 80% efficiency. And let's say the computer (CPU, motherboard, fans, GPU, RAM, drives, etc.) demand 500W from the supply. The supply will be required to output 625W - regardless if it is a 750W supply or a 1000W supply or a 1500W supply.
625 x .8 = 500
Where did that 125W go? It was wasted, in the form of heat. The same amount of heat.
HOWEVER the difference is the 1000W supply will be designed, typically with larger heatsinks, maybe even a larger fan) to handle even more heat allowing its fan to stay off longer, and run slower (thus quieter) when it does spin up.
Again, not Keullo-e's (or my) point.
You seem to be throwing in your own scenarios and anecdotal examples, then trying to use those to indicate others are wrong and you are right.
You are new here. I don't know if you are new to forums in general, but that's not how forums work - except when trying to drive the topic off topic. For example, the sound of your case fans are totally immaterial to this discussion.
You are the OP (original poster) so you do have some say in how the thread progresses. But you asked for advice and now are arguing with those who have given you sound and correct advice. That's really not right.
I will say this again, Keullo-e is right. With everything else being equal (same load, same efficiency) a bigger capacity PSU will typically generate less noise than a smaller capacity PSU. Why? Because of the "percentage" of the load based on the total capacity.
Now whether that matters to you in terms of the potentially higher cost of the 1000w, or in the wait for delivery, ONLY YOU can decide that.
Have a nice day.

Right.. this is right after I posted that I had been running my 750w PSU at 650w load..Well, I guess flinching is important here then but I still think a quality 750 Gold rated PSU is more than enough for the OP. No need to encourage him to waste money.

I did not say it would be "over" heating. But come on! Surely you can see a 300W load on a power supply rated at 80% would mean that supply is consuming 375W from the wall - meaning 75W is being wasted in the form of heat. Get yourself a 75W incandescent lightbulb. Turn it on, wait 5 minutes and grab hold of that bulb and see what happens. No - DO NOT DO THAT!"For example, a 300W load on a 325W supply presents a 92.3% load on that supply. It would be cooking!"
What, why? It would not!

If I were to choose, I'd choose the Be Quiet! in this comparison.The Quiet Pure Power 12 M 1000W has a dedicated port but the RM1000X shift hasn't. It has a cable tho. I don't think it makes any difference.
This^It does. Sense pins.
If I were to choose, I'd choose the Be Quiet! in this comparison.
This^
I mean it's your money, it is better for your investment to be safe than sorry. Like I said, I don't mind the brand regarding the PSU (though it should have a reliable reputation obviously which both Corsair and Be Quiet! do have) as long as there's a dedicated 12VHPWR port on the PSU itself.
Regarding wattage, a 1000W PSU is the safer bet. Ideally get a platinum, though gold's OK as well.

In general I disagree with a lot of what you're saying but no one says that we have to agree. You can have your own mind.
My only comment is that you speak in general terms on PSUs and how they behave on certain load percentages when I am talking about those 2 specific PSUs and how they behave according to data charts that people who might know better have made.

While this is 100% true I'm just curious how anyone got 600w of use (it wasn't Bill) since in W!zzards own words while testing "The Radeon RX 6800 XT only uses around 280 W during gaming, 60 W less than the GeForce RTX 3080. The peaks are higher, up to 325 W, and Furmark worst-case power is 316 W". Techspot and Tom's had similar findings with Techspot avg just 480w total system power in gaming while using a far more power hungry 3950x.No, you totally missed @Keullo-e's fine, and absolutely correct point.
To illustrate, assume a 600W load from the connected components. That will impose only a 60% load on the 1000W supply.
But that same 600W load on a 750W supply imposes an 80% load on the supply.
A supply running at 80% load WILL generate more heat which then may cause the fans to spin up sooner and spin faster thus creating more noise.
Therefore, saying the 1000w supply "can stay quieter" is absolutely correct.

Based off Corsairs manual the 750w fan kicks in at 300w while the 1000w unit fan kicks in at 400w. Based on your specs your gaming power demands should be around 430w-450w on avg so the fans on regardless. According to Corsair the fan in the 750w picks up at 525w while the 1000w fan picks up at 600w. Noise wise they are the same according to Corsair even though they say the 850w version makes less noise at similar demands which is "interesting". Aris tested the 750w version and it made no noise until 500w and little noise after, he praised it for its near silent operation. Obviously the 750w will do the job with ease, if you want to burn money or just like having the sticker of a 1000w unit by all means although a sharpie and a white label can give you a similar effect.My system has a 7600X CPU and a RX 6800XT. It used to work fine for years, until it didn't.
So when I realized that my 650W PSU has a problem I ordered the RM1000X PSU, I knew it was a bit overkill but it was on offer, but now they put the RM750X on offer too so I ordered that too.
Now I am in a dilemma on which PSU to get. The RM1000X is 50 Euros more and do I really have a need for it?
From the other hand I can get that on Monday when I probably can get RM750X on Wednesday, and I am in a bit of a hurry because I run my PC with two PSU right now.
You have disagreed with Bill before but his knowledge of PSU is impressive especially when the landscape is litter with "get what I got cause its leet" and "mo power = mo bettah!"In general I disagree with a lot of what you're saying but no one says that we have to agree. You can have your own mind.
My only comment is that you speak in general terms on PSUs and how they behave on certain load percentages when I am talking about those 2 specific PSUs and how they behave according to data charts that people who might know better have made.
MUST but won't. I would also add, MUST understand a 750w PSU rated at 30c can and most often is different than one rated at 40c and one rated at 50c even if all are "gold"It MUST be understood that a higher 80 Plus certification is NOT in any way an indication of better quality, reliability, stability, or voltage regulation.
We MUST also remember, in any 24 hour period, our computers are off (or in standby) the majority of the day. And during those hours when we are using them, the demands on our power supplies are closer to idle loads the majority of the time than they are at near maximum demands.
Yes but would you try the Sushi at the corner Tobacco and Bait Shop fuel shop?would not buy a brand new Porsche then fill it up with generic fuel from the corner Tobacco and Bait Shop

I agree. But again, none of that has anything to do with the specific 80 PLUS certification of any of those PSUs. There are other "quality" specs I didn't mention. Hold-up times is another often overlooked, but important spec.MUST but won't. I would also add, MUST understand a 750w PSU rated at 30c can and most often is different than one rated at 40c and one rated at 50c even if all are "gold"
Yeah tho Aris told me to get the 1000W one so i got that. No regrets it's pretty good. I still haven't manage to turn the fan tho . I had it upside down and I was looking. Today I turned it at it's normal position just because of the horrible cable management if I put it otherwise.Based off Corsairs manual the 750w fan kicks in at 300w while the 1000w unit fan kicks in at 400w. Based on your specs your gaming power demands should be around 430w-450w on avg so the fans on regardless. According to Corsair the fan in the 750w picks up at 525w while the 1000w fan picks up at 600w. Noise wise they are the same according to Corsair even though they say the 850w version makes less noise at similar demands which is "interesting". Aris tested the 750w version and it made no noise until 500w and little noise after, he praised it for its near silent operation. Obviously the 750w will do the job with ease, if you want to burn money or just like having the sticker of a 1000w unit by all means although a sharpie and a white label can give you a similar effect.
