Hi all,

I'm looking for a fully modular PSU for my rig with specs on my sig. Current PSU is working fine but want to upgrade to a modular unit. There's a possibility I'm gonna get another GPU to SLI, so not sure how much watts I will need for that. Any recommendations < RM700? Preferably lower price if possible.

Thanks.

Try Coolermaster V 1000W at RM649. This one is Tier 1 and Seasonic built.

Try Seasonic X1050(AM2), street selling price is RM775.

Hi all,

I'm new here, and had been started to build my dream rig parts by parts, but

Do anyone knows where to get this XFX 750W 80 Plus PSU silver anywhere?

Thank you in advance

Thanks for the reply. Will check out both of them

What about the CoolerMaster V850? Or is it wise to spend more for the extra wattage?

V850 is made by Enhance. It is semi-modular and a Tier 2 power supply. Still good but lower grade.

Only V700 and V1000 is made by Seasonic.

Ah, cheers for the info. Looking to pick up the V1000 then, looks value for money

Thanks again!

Guys need help here..
My friend is building a gaming pc and his specs are as below:

Intel Core i7 4790K
MSI z97 Gaming 7
MSI GTX 970
8GBs of Corsair Dominator Ram
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
2 Western Digital Blue 1TB
Corsair H100i
Normal DVDRW
7 Fans
4 LED stripss
2 CCFL

His rig is almost the same as mine except that i have more fans and less lighting but im using the Seasonic 760W platinum. He is planning to get either the Corsair HX750i or Corsair HX850i (mainly for corsair link i guess) and he is planning on doing SLI maybe around mid next year.. So i cant give him any advice since i dont know anything about SLI and my Seasonic 760W platinum is serving me very well..

So do give your opinions guys.
Your help is always appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Should be able to power them easily.

So both HX750i and HX850i would do the job?
Haha ive told him that..

He is so fussy that he is confused about the efficiency of both power supply..
You know that a power supply is at its best at >50% load..
So he is afraid that if he buy the HX850i now, he will waste on his electrical bill before getting a second GTX 970..
And if its the HX750i, he is afraid of not enough power in the future..

Since you said that both also can, ill tell him that again
Haha but this time its the Sifu that taught me about power supply which is TristanX

Thanks tristan!

Thanks a lot!

Bleh, he's paranoid. Just buy it and use.

Like TristanX said.. the 750W would be enough.

And PSUs aren't only efficient at 50%+ load anymore. Now that 99% of the (quality) PSUs out there use a resonant LLC topology, the efficiency is fairly flat line across all loads.

The pro has spoken.

More reviews from

http://www.jonnyguru.com/

Just made aware FSP Raiders are available in both Bronze and Silver 80-Plus rated. The pricing is not fixed for both items, some vendor sells the old Bronze model higher that the Silver.

Although I don't pay too much attention on the 80-Plus thing but I still want to get the best out of my bucks.

I think the 650W silver rated at RM250+/- is the best bang for bucks.

p/s: Just checked Viewnet's pricelist... LOL, what? RM269? I still remember my friend bought it few months ago at Viewnet only sub RM250 what...

Nice. Another Seasonic built.

Welcome to the other side of the world!

Yup, efficiency is pretty much flat across all loads for quality PSU.

Example :
FSP Aurum PT 1200 http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=...Story3&reid=398
Seasonic SS-1050XM2 1050W http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=...Story3&reid=401
Corsair HX1000i 1000W http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=...Story3&reid=394

Say I'm using a normal hd5750 and i3 (old generation) 24/7 switched on but no folding whatssoever, light gaming.

Mostly surfing web and youtube-ing, what psu you reckon I can use?

Don't need high budget right

Even a 300w would suffice for that, get a good 400w would work just fine.

can try the FSP Hexa 450w / 550.
