Corsair TX Series 850 Watt Single Rail Non-Modular Power Supply Showcase- BoxeoUnboxings

[mr4wkw4rd]

Hey, can anyone tell me if i can use a 600w power supply if the computer probably wont need more then 450?

@mr4wkw4rd Hi, listing all your main components including video card(s), cpu, # of HDD(s), # of SDD(s), # ofcooling fans or if you have water cooling will help. Or you can google wattage calculator and enter the information yourself for a rough but close enough wattage total of all your items.

100-200 watt overkill is always good .

so it will run more silent and less heat.

and its a gold rated PSU, so it will run energy efficient.

if you use less, you pay less.

simple:)

@ImmortalUniverse Right on

Thanks for the box opening! Alot of people tend to forget how important it is to buy a good power supply. All they worry about is what kind of GPU, CPU they are going to get.

[BoxeoP4P]

@savator408 np =) You're right about that. A good reliable psu with enough watts is just as critical!

thanks so much for this unboxing dude :) really helps!

[BoxeoP4P]

@olivierhacking thank you olivier and glad to hear that!

Good unboxing. Do you prefer modular power supply.? And what do you think about corsair XMS DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 memory. I am looking to buy 4X-4GB (16GB total).Thank you BoxeoP4P any help I would appreciate.

@Jerry2665 I'm not sure about the RAM... but modular PSUs are really nice for when you don't want those 4 extra cables that you aren't even using.

[BoxeoP4P]

@Jerry2665 Hey Jerry.I agree with klumiar. I definetly prefer modular, or at least a "semi-modular" power supply.. Semi-modular supplies are modular for the most part, but the cables that are required for the computer to "function" such as the 24-pin, 8-pin , etc. will be hard-wired to the PSU. The modular/semi modular power supplies are great because 1. they eliminate air flow restriction 2. Ease for you when playing around and setting up your build 3. Less clutter if you have a window

[BoxeoP4P]

@Jerry2665 One thing about the "semi-modular" psu(s) are that I find myself not using ALL the hard-wired cables, so some are sitting there doing nothing. But that depends on your build, and its still significantly less then non-modular psus.Also, remember...in general, the more ram you install the slower your computer will start up & the less over-clocking ability you have. It's not a biggie, but if you dont require 16GB, I suggest not getting that much.

[BoxeoP4P]

@Jerry2665 You may have trouble running the ram at the specified stock ratings as well, with 4 sticks. Also, you got the right idea. If you want a large amount of ram such as even 8GB, its better to get 2x4GB then it is to get 4x2GB. I'm not 100% sure what corsair XMS ram you're referring too, sorry. But it, in general you should be okay with their XMS ram. You can also take a browse at mushkin and g.skill. (theres also kingston, patriot, etc.)

[Jerry2665]

@BoxeoP4P Thank you for all the info. It helped me alot.  Just so much out there these days. Its like 10years was my last build. Got caught up in buting off the shelf computers. Not happy I know i can do better with a custom one .

[BoxeoP4P]

@Jerry2665 yeah, i know what you mean. Off the shelf comps are usually more money with lesser performing computer parts and they usually don't go into detail what exactly each computer part is, particularly because most people don't know or care. When my family use to buy computers, all we looked at was the GB(s), and once in a while the CPU Ghz. We would see something like 500GB HD and be thinking, "WOW!" lol. There are some positives of buying an off the shelf comp, but no not enough, IMO.
