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

Quote from JackScagnetti : 90 seems over priced for 750W but it is modular which is good.

Gold rated too, which carries a premium. Takes better stuff inside and more engineering to be more efficient.

At least that is what I am going on

Plenty of juice for any single card rigs out there.

debating whether i should get this. the bad reviews about whining noise, DOAs, and bad RMA experience is putting me off. My 500W modular Corsair I bought for $50 is still going strong after 3 yrs.
I want to try a crossfire setup with another 6970, would 750W be enough? even with a i7 OC'ed to 4.0ghz?

Quote from Elpee : What do you guys buy it for? I'm not a gamer, FYI.

Probably overclocked systems with watercooling and crossfire/SLI.

I'm in the market for something like this but closer to 500-600W :/

Noob question below. Most of the newer power supplies out there, including this one, have only 6+2 Pin PCI-E connectors. Most videocards require 1 or 2, 6 pin connectors.

Will the 6+2 pin connectors hook up to the 6 pin connectors, or will there need to be some adapter cable hooked up first?

Usually people with two graphics card need a psu of this wattage. normally, if u only use one graphics card, you will be fine iwth a 500 watt psu. In addition, seasonic is a nice brand with solid psu that can sometimes handle more than rated power. obviously, its not good for the psu, but lower quality units out there cant even reach the rated wattage.

6+2 means that it can be hooked to 6 pin connectors ALSO expandable to 8 pin connectors. This psu has enough 6+2 connectors for 2 graphic cards

I'd like it if that was the actual price -- don't care much for rebates, too incovenient.

Couldn't agree more.
Dealzcat still didn't get his rebate from last deal ...

So why this method so popular? I have no idea!

very, very good powersupply. I have 1, highly recommended - silent, stable, powered.

Quote from jephtastic : I RMAed mine from last time and just got my replacement yesterday. It had a whine noise even while the computer was turned off. Will see what this one is like tonight.

I picked up the Seasonic 750 gold and the 850 gold and have read a lot about the coil whine. Super silent PSU performance is super important to me. I have not installed these two power supplies into my rigs yet. Please post your results or PM me regarding coil whine.

If my Seasonics whine, I will surely return/RMA them. Anyone have any experience with the RMA process with Seasonic? Was it a positive or negative experience? Did the new unit whine too?

Thank you,

Soar

Same exact problem as the first. I bought using shoprunner so I was covered return shipping back to newegg. I didn't realize though my replacement wasn't going to come through shoprunner so now I have to pay 14 dollars to ship it back to them...

Even though this is probably overkill for my home desktop, a few weeks ago I was having some machine check exception bluescreens on WIndows 8... while it might have not been power related (Ubuntu 12.10 booted up just fine) I'll end up replacing an older Antec Earthwatts (non-modular) with this Seasonic one... that way I have a backup PS in case one of the ones in the desktops at home dies. The 7 year warranty was what made me jump on this... I haven't had many power supplies that lasted 5+ years...

i purchased this from the previous newegg deal, and has been running quiet. How audible is the coil whine? Sorry im not very familiar with the term, but my computer sits below my desk and I haven't heard anything bothersome yet.

For those who don't need 750W and don't want the hassle of MIR, the Corsair HX650 is a great buy and available at Frys for $85.

$12 shipping kinda kills this one unless local pickup is an option.

The Frys around my area are all out of stock for local store pickup. A couple stores show open-box item, but a returned PSU sounds sketchy.
