QUOTE(teranun @ Jan 8 2014, 08:10 PM) Yup i wont overclock A decent 600W is sufficient for your setup to save from coolers im not n editor anyway. So i guess ill just go for i7 4770? And btw, i will have sapphire r9 290 tri x for my gpu.. question is wat is a good psu that can sufficiently support it and will be open for dual sli or cf in the future? ^^,Super Flower Golden Green HX600W 80Plus Gold Semi Modular RM299 SeaSonic S12-II 620 620W 80Plus Bronze Non Modular RM299 SeaSonic M12-II 620 620W 80Plus Bronze Semi Modular RM3XX Seasonic S12G-650 650W 80Plus Gold Non Modular RM4xx Corsair TX650M TXM Series 80Plus Bronze Semi Modular RM3xx Corsair HX650 Series 80Plus Gold Full Modular RM4xx |

QUOTE(Chew Yongxian @ Jan 8 2014, 08:44 PM) Uuuuh, if you want crossfire for 290 Tri X you'll need at least 850-1000W. Anandtech benchmarks showed at least 380-400W consumption for a single card. My bad didn't realized he want CF setup infuture Get the Cooler Master V850 or V1000. They are basically Seasonic OEMs but cheaper. Planning to get the same ones as well.  ,the PSUs i proposed can't be used anyway |

QUOTE(Chew Yongxian @ Jan 8 2014, 08:57 PM) Hahaha that's why I suggested the Seasonic X750 several posts up as well with the 290's monster consumption in mind. But crossfire memang need 1000W to be safe. I'm also planning to crossfire my 290X by end of this year. =D In fact before i bought Corsair AX860i actually i wanted to buy V1000, that was happened last month unfortunaetly the whole KV no stock, have ask few lyn sellers & lowyat shops as well but no luck at all, was informed new stock only arrived in Jan, that time i'm rushing to get the PSU as i sold my previous one. V1000 is highly recommended by several oversea websites as the series was made by seasonic using KM3 platform (same as seasonic X series)Btw I also need to ask, is there any other better PSUs than the CM V1000 80+ Gold out there in terms of price/performance? Cuz if no then I'll confirm be buying this. P/S: i noticed Feiton has got stock already (from their FB) This post has been edited by llk: Jan 8 2014, 09:14 PM |

QUOTE(teranun @ Jan 8 2014, 09:27 PM) So if no better you buy CM V1000 80+ gold? Is 800w not enough for cf 290 tri x? But 800w or 750 enough lah for single r9 290 tri x? For single r9 290 a decent 600w is enough (i used super flower 600w previously), CF better get 800w above |

QUOTE(Chew Yongxian @ Jan 8 2014, 09:40 PM)  AX860i. That platinum rated monster from corsair. Bloody nice man hahaha. Not a bad choice really seeing your circumstances. Hmmmm, looks like CM V1000 80+ Gold for me as well. Now to go hunt for people selling it at a very good price. Btw, this is testing result by anandtech for 290X CF running furmark, highest power consumption recorded was 720w for the whole system (Intel Core i7-4960X @ 4.2GHz) , therefore a 850w PSU should be play safe if want to play CF setup http://www.anandtech.com/show/7457/the-rad...-290x-review/19 Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Chew Yongxian @ Jan 8 2014, 10:00 PM) Saw one guy who is selling it at flat 600 but he never replies much nor does he have a sales history so I'm not so sure. But even so 650 or slightly lower is damn good for a 1000W 80+ Gold PSU. I roughly know who u are referring to Yeah that's two stock 290X's. I'm planning to bump my 4770K to 4.2-4.4GHz at least amd also OC my 290x's so I need an extra 100-150W of headroom.  , but try to get from shop better, importance thing is warranty |

QUOTE(Chew Yongxian @ Jan 8 2014, 10:13 PM) Hehe. He suddenly came out of nowehere and started selling PSUs of different brands. But yeah, true. RMA is gonna be a pain if I don't get it from a reputable shop. I am going Tech Armory this Friday so I can bargain a bit since my friends want to buy two laptops and I need a PSU, HDD, SSD and AIOs. Hopefully the have the Kraken X60 too. Samsung has got very good reputation in many oversea reviews in terms of speed & reliability, & the price also very competitive nowadays, personally i will go for samsung Another question by the way, should I spend more and get a Plextor M5P 256GB or a SanDisk Extreme II 240GB, or should I just save and get a Samsung Evo 240GB? |
