SeaSonic X750 750W 80 Plus Gold Full Modular Power Supply $90 after $15 Rebate + Free Shipping

Quote from gjbquist : Ok, I need some advise. I'm building a decent gaming / Video Edit / Photoshop system and am conflicted as to whether to get this PS or not. i7 ivy OC 4.5 16gb (2x8) 7970 x 2 Mild OC 256GB SSD 1TB 7200 DVD Swiftech H220 It all fits in 750watts (about 650 or so under load), but should I wait for a deal on a larger PS?

750 will be fine for this.

Great PSU, picked one up last time at this price.

You'd better get a 1000W or larger unit. As the PSU works most efficiently at around 50% load, let alone OCed CPU and GPU will boost the power consumption significantly.
I have a similar rig and I chose Seasonic Platinum 1000.

Quote from nolf66 : I have a few Thermaltake 775w PSU that I picked up for $30 AR. For me this is not a SD.

Thermaltake failed me, Seasonic never. It is the only PS I use, it runs super quiet too

This a good price on the PSU. I have the X650 from a SD two years ago and it has been a fantastic PSU. I have a 2500k @ 4.9 ghz & 6950 2gb flashed to 6970 and oc'd running on it and the fan never even turns on! The voltage rails are rock solid and keep the system far more stable than on a lesser quality power supply (I've had a few).

A 750 will be more than fine. It seems to be all the rage to run super large PSUs these days, but it's totally unnecessary with a quality unit. See my system for comparison - the fan doesn't even turn on with the 650w unit.

Quote from zhopa : If the fan never turns on, you bought way too much of a PSU for your setup. Regarding OP, this is a very high end PSU for a high end build. For the vast majority of builds, you don't need it.

This power supply is suitable for computers built with a video card with dual pci-e power connectors. It is a high end power supply, but at $90, it becomes competitive with other power supplies such as Antec NEO ECO 520C, Seasonic S12II 520, XFX ProSeries 550W, SeaSonic G Series 550W, PC P&C Silencer MK III 600W, XFX P1-650X-XXB9 650W, or Seasonic X650 Gold.

I think its time for me to upgrade from my 380w antec, good find.

Very good price! I paid $130 for 460W Fanless, running on my box with out any problems NONSTOP 24/7 http://i181.photobucket.com/album...000724.jpg

Quote from cowguy : Seasonic has a 5 yr warranty

7 Years according to Newegg's details. Hopefully I'll never have to use the warranty though

Quote from nolf66 : Ya the Thermaltake only got a Hardocp Editors Choice Silver Award so it must be crap I would think. It is almost fully modular minus the power cords but you have to have those pluged in anyway. "However, when we look at all the great improvements made by this unit we find it falling in line, quality and performance-wise, with many of the current top end ~750W units on the market." http://www.hardocp.com/article/20...u_review/9

Yeah... 3 years ago. There have been significant advances in the PSU industry in the past year alone. It's lower quality in every aspect, there is no getting around that fact.

Quote from zhopa : Why do you doubt that?

Thermaltake is notorious for putting out crap PSUs.

You should NEVER give advice on power supplies again. 750 watts is more than enough to handle that system overclocked to the max on air and water.

Also, read this [overclock.net] regarding the 50% load myth.

BTW if most of you didn't know...

This is the 3rd revision , meaning better efficiency and overall design than the previous two revisions.

Look for the most recent reviews.

Great price for a great psu, might consider buying for test bench

I picked one up during the last sale. The unit is good but it does produce some coil whine noise. The first one I got was loud enough that I exchanged it for another. The new one is a better. I can hear the whine up close but can't hear with the case closed.

Plenty of power for my 660 Ti SLI setup. The modular design is nice but be warned if you have a bigger case the 24 pin motherboard cable and the 8 pin CPU cable are 58cm in length. I'm able to use them but they are under some stress being stretched to the limit. Not a big deal for me I ordered a full cable set from ModDIY but keep in mind you may need to pickup some extensions.

Thank you and reps to everyone who gave me advise. I have one last concern. For some reason under Details it says this PS does not support CrossFire, but in the Overview it says it does. Just an error? It looks to me like it has all the proper power connections.
