QUOTE(Human10 @ Sep 5 2015, 01:26 PM) I think you mean the EPS 4+4 pins for CPU? Yeah, the normal configuration is 4 pins or 8 pins for high end mobo which expected to be overclocked heavily. In short, whether you should plug in 4 pins or 8 pins depend on the CPU configuration. Power guzzle and heavy overclocked probably need the 8 pins. Oh, i see. I found the 8 pin coming from my psu. I thought i would have to go buy one. Thanks!

They are different and shouldn't even fit physically, but who know, just to be safe and extra careful.  This post has been edited by Human10: Sep 5 2015, 04:01 PM

hi guys, got a question here. do u guys think is more efficient (in terms of power draw to save electric bill) by using 850w instead of 1200 just to power a 980 ti build(may upgrade to 980ti sli builid)? consider both PSU platinum and from the same manufacture and the same series (eg corsair AXi series)..im asking this coz i've found 2nd hand 1200w platinum which is almost the same price with a new 860w.. but scare to take it as it may effect my electric bills as my pc is on almost 24/7.. in the other hand, 1200w is so overkill This post has been edited by neozeroash: Sep 30 2015, 08:18 AM

Could I get some advice on selecting the most appropriate PSU for this desktop? Budget is +- 300 and would like to be able to get from PJ Digital Mall:

Will think about it. As I do not really OC or change parts that regularly, I assume a non-modular PSU is good enough for me.

Thinking of buying a superflower leadex platinum 750W, is it a good PSU?
I see that the PCIe cables are single cable with two 6+2 pin connectors.
Would it be safe to use only a single cable to power up a 980ti or need to have two cables and use one connector from each cables?

Seasonic, sounds like a cheapo brand, but actually very decent. People are recommending it because of the 5 years warranty?

You might be confused by Sensonic...  Not quite - but Seasonic has a long running history of making high end and very high quality PSUs... Though the competition is now heating up... Super Flower/CWT/Enhance anyone?

TPU has the review for the 1KW variant: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/SuperFl...r/SF-1000F14MP/Very high quality components are used (pretty much all Japanese capacitors) and the performance is excellent and should last you for a very long time.

I found out that the dimensions of leadex gold PSU are conflicting. Johnnyguru stated that the depth is 180mm while factory specs stated 200mm. I dunno what is the depth for the current version. this is mainly for clearance factor since I want to fit a 120mm bottom fan inside my cm690 iii.
