psu: corsair 650w or OCZ 600W

JanJan · Apr 26, 2009

while you guys are all at this

how are these 2 compared ?

CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX 620W

CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W

what's the different between modular and non-modular?

EDIT: also, is the 620HX compatible with HD4870 ?

Sihastru · Apr 26, 2009

The HX620 is one of the best PSU's ever built (legendary status

). It's also a Seasonic design and it's placed in the Corsair lineup as a high end model.

If I had to choose between the TX650 and the HX620, I would choose the HX620 without hesitation.

A modular power supply has the option to disconnect unused cables. It makes your cable management look a lot cleaner. There are some purists that will prefer a non-modular design because it should in theory provide cleaner output as opposed to a modular design. That's not really true in real life.

edit: The 4870 has two 6 pin pcie power connectors, and the HX620 has the necessary cables. Depending on the revision it can have two 6pin or one 6 pin and one 6+2 pin or two 6+2 pin. Corsair has updated the bundle on this model more then once. You'll have to check before purchasing.

it's a visiontek 4870 with 2x6pin?

so it's not compatible with 620HX? its spec says 2 x PCI-Express ...

HX is better than TX I beleive. The HX is a tier 2, a TX is a teir 3.

My vote for Corsair although if budget is a concern and the $10 + shipping costs comes into factor:

Would be plenty enough if your not planning a crossfire/sli build.

Read my post again. I didn't say that. Quite the contrary. Just for clarification: The 4870 is compatible with the HX620.

Id vote for Corsair.. been using the HX Series 1000W psu for months and im very satisfied with it, no problem running my rig w/ a loop .. and i believe still has enough juice for my i7 & gtx285 SLI in the future.. Corsair's HX series is very stable for me

The HX 620 would have room for i7 + gtx 285 sli

even tri-sli i guess.. ive already tested my hx1000w with my q9550 oc'd and gtx285 in SLI (borrowed one gtx285 from my friend) together with a wc loop and it runs smoothly no problems at all

Corsair is more stable while OCZ comsumes less. Your call.
