Which is better - ?! Seasonic prime 1000w titanium or Evga supernova 1000w t2

[Bill_Bright]

I see no reason to spend the extra money for Titanium. There is nothing to suggest the Titanium will give you years more service and it would take years of use for few extra points in efficiency for energy savings to make up the difference in costs. Longer if you don't properly size the Titanium which tend to be way bigger than most users need. I am very happy with my EVGA SuperNova Golds.

i have gold seasonic ss- 760KM gold, i want replace for titanium, because i think this better quality and parts inside?

i think the evga supernova t2 better from Seasonic Prime 1000w, the test in johnguru is on the seasonic 1000w prime ultra, have model also without ULTRA of the seasonic, and without ULTRA MODEl sold in amazon only, not have the ULTRA MODEL in amazon usa for sale, so i think evga supernova t2 far away better, because if ULTRA titanium seasonic got 9 score on ultra model, think without ULTRA MODEL in seasonic only the TItanium version
be got much more lower

Really though you're going to spend a lot more on a titanium unit that only has 3% more efficiency at 100% load than a Gold unit. I wouldn't waste money on such a switch when you already have a top quality built unit.

i buy seasonic 1000w titanium, the gold i will sold to my friend or something, i want new psu, i think in hard work he do me problem, better new, it was work 5 years ,need replace

As some other users have pointed out already, your power supply is likely fine and the issue is with something else, probably your overclock is just unstable and needs some tweaking. Buying a better power supply will never fix this problem for you. A new power supply can only help if your existing power supply is broken (it's not), underpowered (it's not), or if you're pushing huge extreme overclocks and you also only have a 4 pin CPU power connector, and the replacement unit comes with the 8 pin connector (which you already have).

You need to get your overclock stable in some other way. It probably just needs a small voltage bump. I noticed TIM was mentioned... not sure if this is what you're talking about, but there is a concern among picky enthusiasts about the thermal paste Intel has been using, rather than solder, to mate the CPU die and heatspreader since Ivy Bridge. This likely isn't your issue though, unless you're already hitting very high temperatures, which likely isn't a problem with your cooler.

i know is not problem from psu, but i already buy before day the titanum 1000w, i also want new psu for computer, and the gold 760w i will sold, i will try also replace the thermal past for noctua, and see if on 4.5ghz it be crash again, i need wait until psu arrived from amzaon, then i will update here

So, the answer to your question in the title of this thread has been answered several times and more therefore there is not really any further need to keep it open and go around in circles.

Well my XFX 750 watt PSU has been powering my i7 3930k OC'ed to to various levels above 4 GHz while crunching at full load, GTX 780ti that was OC'ed to 1.3GHz, and now a GTX 1070 which is OC'ed to 2GHz, while also powering a SSD, SSHD, and other various components for the past 4 years. My system uses more power than your does just because of the 3930k. It's your money, but upgrading to a titanium +1000 watt PSU will not change your computers stability issues.

Seems like your mind's already set so just buy the titanium and be done with it

My question is why do you need a 1000w PSU? (it may have been answered I just dont want to go through 2 pages to find it)

My question is why do you need a 1000w PSU?

I brought it up in my first post (#9) on Saturday. The reason for more power and for going Titanium was to get "better power" and "more stable" operation. Those concerns were addressed (and debunked) over and over again but I fear there is a refusal to accept reality here - or several realities. These include:

1. Titanium does not mean better better (cleaner) power. It just means it is a more efficient supply. That is, less energy (pulled from the wall) is wasted in the form of heat.​

2. The few percentage points that might be obtained (depending on the load presented by the computer to the supply) with the "Titanium" over the current "Gold" certified supply does not justify the extra cost for Titanium.​

3. More power does not mean "better power" or "more stable" operation. With a quality supply (as that Seasonic Gold is), as long as it is not "overloaded" (and that 760W Seasonic is not) providing "quality", "stable" power is not an issue.​

4. Power supplies are most efficient when running at ~50% loads. Too big a supply (which 1K is) means the supply will be operating near 30% or less most of the time - thus wasting more energy than a properly sized supply.​

5. A computer (the motherboard, CPU, RAM, drives, graphics solution, attached USB powered devices, and fans) will only demand from the PSU what the computer needs, not what the PSU is capable of delivering. If the computer only needs 450W (which is a lot, BTW!), it will only pull from the PSU 450W, regardless if the PSU is a 550W supply, 760W supply, or a 1000W supply.​

6. Excessive overclocking causes stability issues. This was proven when stability was achieved by backing off the clocks.​

​

I can only guess the true purpose of the thread was to get some sort of acceptance or approval for an unjustified excuse.

@israrami - I think your mind was made up before you started this thread, and you were just looking for someone to agree with you. Sorry you didn't get that. The facts remains, you don't need a new supply, or a 1KW supply. And you don't need a Titanium certified supply. There is nothing wrong with your current Seasonic 80 plus GOLD 760W supply. In fact, it is an excellent supply that many here would love to have in their systems. Your problem is you are trying to push your hardware beyond its capabilities with the 760W supply you already have (remember item 5 above).

What seems apparent to me is you just want a Titanium supply. Period. You have money burning a hole in your pocket and you feel some need to spend it. Some times I buy things I don't need just because I want them too. Nothing wrong with that as long as you admit to yourself and others that's why you want it.

He said he already sold the power supply so to me he already had his mindset and it's just a stubborn mule so just let him be to his own vices. This Thread is done

we in this forums for to talk and learn, i don't think have problem if we talk in my thread, it can help to other persons and help me learns many informations, people always write more, i don't have problem with this , if can't speak here this site need be closed

Seems like your mind's already set so just buy the titanium and be done with it

first my doubt in title post it was what better Seasonic or EVGA is why i open post, this the first thing that i want to know

i said i will sold it , i still not sold it, i want renew this parts is not matter for me, i will sold my psu and add money is like i don't buy , i just update this part

At this point, no one is learning anything because clearly you have not listened to any of the good advice given here, if someone does not listen, they cannot learn.

You had the answer to that on the first page




i said i will sold it , i still not sold it, i want renew this parts is not matter for me, i will sold my psu and add money is like i don't buy , i just update this part

See my comments also in your quotes above ^^^OK, so your mind is made up? Thread closed, if you would like a chat room then there are lots of alternative forums/sites out there for you to explore. If you would like support/help/advice then this is the place but be open minded and listen otherwise what's the point?
