PSU recommendation

[PostmanPot]

i would go for the HX620..still trying to figure out why i didn't get that in the 1st place!

I just had a 600 watt EZ-cool die on me yesterday Gonna look for something better.

Thankfully most PSU's come with 3-5 year warranties.

I take it that EZ-cool didn't have too much of a warranty

ya..i should have listened to you!

ya..i should have listened to you!

but you have a 750w corsair, that's more powerful than the hx620...or do you just like the modular feature of the HX?

 

[Stickfigure]

Beware.

The 620w doesn't come with your run of the mill cables.

but i don't need this much power..lol..620w would be 100% even when i get my GTX295..a 620w would still be able to handle it!

@stickfigure. They look HOT!

@ziym3. I will buy your 750w for R1200 then you can use the money and get a new 620w

 

[chickenbeef]

One last thing.

will the HX750w be TOTAL overkill for my pc?

 

[PostmanPot]

Yes.

 

[chickenbeef]

Ok, the HX750 is only R200 more than the HX620. Is spending the extra 200 bucks worth it?

 

[PostmanPot]

No, your PC will use less than 620watts.

Go modular.

 

[Zenbaas]

How much do both cost...?
I would say put in the extra R200 and get the 750

(Modular is nice though)

 

[chickenbeef]

The HX series is modular. So both are modular. The 620w is just under R1.3k and the 750w is R1.6k

R300 difference, my mistake

 

[PostmanPot]

No such thing as an HX750 - it's the TX750 and it's not modular.

Hmmmmm

Take that price -R100

I love my PC power Silencer 750 Quad -->R1547

Not modular though

Nice, my bad - it's a new product. Looks like it's yet to arrive in SA.
