I was just wondering if anyone could answer me this, I'm looking to build a computer soon and I'm getting a single GTX 560TI, but after I've built and saved up a bit more money I'm thinking about getting another one to run in SLI, would an 850w power supply be enough to supply power for both the graphics cards and all the other stuff? and if so what would be the lowest wattage power supply I could get.
Hey...I wanna ask...I have this psu called E-view 450-watt (250w real power)...What does it mean??Is it running on 450 watt or 250 watt??Im confused..
This is my perfect PSU. Its going to kill my wallet at $190 AU, but I'm sure it'll last me a few builds and it sounds REALLY quiet, which is an aim for my system, since it will be in my bedroom.
hi buddy and viewers... im thinking of buying this product,what i want to know is does it come as standard size for all htpc cases and will it fit my nox live 2 htpc case,this messege is to all if any one can help me PLEEEEEEEEEEEZ many thanks
@supastauk well, this is a standard atx form factor, there are smaller power supplies for htpc's, however your case looks to be designed to fit an atx power supply. Although, i would recommend a power supply with a front fan instead of a top fan because the fan on this would be blocked by the side (top) panel.
@bro589 thanks buddy,the case is a standard atx,regards the fan the case does have vents on top of the case where the power supply will be fitted,will that be ok do u think and mate once again thanks for ur help really appreciate it :-)
@bro589 well i bought it but its just slightly too big length wise,im gona have to send it back and get some thing that is square,i was told to get 750w for some reason im not too sure why,what do u think?shall i go for something smaller like 650 or something like that?thnx
@bro589 well i will be using gigabyte ga 890 ud3h motherboard,4x8gb corsair ram, 2x80mm noctua exhaust fans 1x120mm intake fan,ozc ssd 60gb to run windows 7 and wd 1tb 64 cache 7200 hard drive,samsung x12 bluray writer and the amd phenom ii x6 core processor wifi card and internel blutooth just for htpc use thnks

@supastauk the components that you mentioned would consume around 350w in total, so a 650w corsair psu would be a very safe bet, leaving you some room for a decent video card if you wish. As long as your not planning to run SLI or C.F.X, then you should be safe.
@bro589many thanks bruv,what is sli c.f.x? ta and can u recomend a power supply that is 150mm wide 86mm height and 140mm in length as the 650 corsair come in 150mm in length many many thank buddy
@supastauk hmm, i newer really payed any attention to the psu size, defiantly go for the COOLER MASTER GX Series RS650. SLI and CFX is when multiple graphics cards are used in one computer for high performance, SLI is for multiple nVidia and CFX is for multiple ATI cards.
@mirvid Dude. It really doesn't matter whether it's certified or not, it will still power your GPUs all the same. Certification for GPU setups only matter when you are getting a motherboard.
This supports 2-4 GPUs depending on the type of GPU.
@MGBlacks Certification for SLI or Crossfire means the PSU has been tested in real a SLI/CF situation, it also means that it must include the cabling required to SLI/CF, so it's not just a logo.

i jus bought my corsair hx750 psu for my new build i tried to connect the psu to my LED fans to test the fans without any other peripheral connected but i couldn't get the LED fan to work...do i need to have a motherboard connected in order to get the fans to work ???
@ixy1987 yeah you can't just connect the fans to the led fans, i don't even know how its possible but it doesn't work that way, you need a motherboard to connect any computer fan to
@MyBrainIsMush This IS the internet jackass, and google / youtube search probably recommended them this video. most tech searches bring me to 3DGAMEMAN on youtube. No one is forcing you to read them. Mr. KnowItAll, why bother coming here to watch something you already know about? To learn about it right? Let others watch and learn. Asking questions isn't hurting anyone.
@MyBrainIsMush You wrote down in words what I think everytime I read a dumbass comment. I mean god damn people just fucking buy a computer if you don't want to spend 10 minutes online.
@MyBrainIsMush IT IS RESEARCH. What better place to look for answers on a product than a page full of reviews? It's assholes like you that impede the progress of less knowledgeable people by laughing and mocking them!
@MyBrainIsMush dumb ass this is why people are asking here stupid ass they came here looking as thats what suppose to happen review(researching if it is good) thats why they are here u don't want to answer the question just shut the heck up
@whitestar111 Your answer is redundant, you should ask on a forum site for PC builders, not a youtube site, your not going to get very reliable answers here.
One of the best reviews ihave seen on youtube. I have just one question: How do u let the fan spin without a pc? i need that too because i want to find out why my pc is so loud. THX
guys plz some1 respond in have an actek 600W power supply edge performance that came with my cabinet zenux pro gamin but idk if that power supply would be enogh for a gt240 (sry idk about power supplys)
@TheBigupz yer its heaps 450w IM minumum ,watts is overhyped for actual needs,amps are important the table on the sides (learn what the values mean),1500W can run worse then a 400W if it only has one rail and has say a total of 29A on a 12V rail,where as the 400w can have 12v duel rails with 25A on each,the antec tp has quad 12v rails at 22 -25A on each,theirs a rule of thumb,(this is just a brief outline) mostly all i can say always get branded antec,cosair,therm etc and with 80+ efficiency
thanx rod for allowing comments i have the hx650 got it for free one thing i dont like about the hx650 is the 8pin mobo power conector isn't a single 8pin its2x4pin but what the hell it was free
@mzdzohn What i meant was, for example, the company that manufactures some of the cooler master's power supply is acbel... and for corsair is seasonic.. did you get what i meant? :)
I love this PSU. Single 12V rail putting out 62 amps provides bedrock stability. It's overkill for my system at the moment, but I like knowing that my rig is future-proof with something like this.
A 7 year warranty, too!
And it's modular. Much better than the TX model. The cable mess is practically nothing. All of the leads are very low-profile and plenty long enough to be routed behind the motherboard tray.
If you need a high quality PSU for a high end graphics card, this is it.
P.s. if you want to crossfire or sli in the future though i would suggest the 650 or 750. The 650 will handle crossfire but not sli i believe simply because the nvidia cards are more power hungry.
@FubuMushu the 650w version sucks like hell, the efficency barely meets bronze, on this its gold efficeny (rated at silver because it failed one test but on 80+ website its listed at 80+ GOLD)
@124Z312 Yes, But there will be no problem! There are chances of Pushing it to the limits. But i suggest you to go with a 850W. to be on the safer side
I have a CQ3020AN Compaq presario desktop pc, can anyone tell me what powersupply atleast 450watts or even more, would fit my computer, im trying to run a HD5770, which fits, but i need a new power supply, but i dunno which one to get, help would be great thnks :)
I'm planning on buying a ASUS CROSSHAIR FORMULA II mobo, an XFX HD RADEON 5850 and a AMD PHENON II X4 955 processor, and CORSAIR XMS3 DHX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3. Should I get an 750 or 650watt psu?
the cpu temps are good, everything else seems to work until I go to play a game. then my computer loads the game but restarts the whole computer like we hit the reset button. We are thinking its a bad power supply. its a 850 watter so its not like we don't have enough power.
anyone have this happen to them ever, when you go to play a game and the computer just restarts, if so what was the prob?
well that system doesnt need much power.. i7 920 + 5870 use under 300w in 90% load. LGA1366 prosessor use tri channel memory so 3*2gb is better that 2+2gb
Don't buy into this "Crossfire Certified" crap, it will work for crossfire too.
it's a marketing idea they came up with, they know that people look for certifications, and if their product says it's certified, then they assume, that the others aren't and so they buy their product.
SLI Certified is just a marketing thing they do, because they know there are people that look SPECIFICALLY for parts that say SLI Certified, and then people will be more likely to buy it, rather than one that doesn't say it.
It's simply supplying power, it has all the necessary hookups, and the either ATI or Nvidia cards will work fine.
It's like EVGA's X58 3X SLI mobo, it doesn't even mention Crossfire, but it DOES support Crossfire :-)
Corsair are THE best you can get, a company called "Seasonic" manufacturers them, and they use quality parts, very efficient, very reliable, and have proper protections to protect your hardware if it ever fails.
It also has a 5 year warranty, but make sure you do NOT buy it from like eBay, check the site to see what companies are Certified Retailers, that are covered, or you will get NOTHING for a Warranty. :-(
You're nearly correct. Corsair aren't the best, but SeaSonic does make some of their units, but not this one. SeaSonic make the older HX series, the CX400, VX450, VX550 and the TX650. CWT make the newer HX series (the one in the video), the 750TX, 850TX, 950TX and the 1000HX.
As for a power supply that beats this: The SeaSonic X-750. Check out its review on JonnyGuru, nothing short of amazing.
Also, it's nice to see a well-informed member of YouTube. :)
You can't really go wrong with either, when the difference is negligible, I then compare the price, and the Warranties of both companies.
The HX750W has a 5 year warranty, and they have another one (Forget which one) has a 7 Year Warranty. I like this, it shows they have faith in their product, and it gives me piece of mind too knowing I'm covered for a while :-)
but I choose solid products over warranty first. I wouldn't want a crappy part with a 5 year warranty, lol
I was just wondering if anyone could answer me this, I'm looking to build a computer soon and I'm getting a single GTX 560TI, but after I've built and saved up a bit more money I'm thinking about getting another one to run in SLI, would an 850w power supply be enough to supply power for both the graphics cards and all the other stuff? and if so what would be the lowest wattage power supply I could get.

@FubuMushu the 650w version sucks like hell, the efficency barely meets bronze, on this its gold efficeny (rated at silver because it failed one test but on 80+ website its listed at 80+ GOLD)
TheMoo1231 1 year ago
@TheMoo1231 So what would you recommend for a good branded psu then??
FubuMushu 1 year ago
@FubuMushu this, most corsairs are excellent, enermax, seasonic, coolermaster (they have new gold ones which are good) etc.
TheMoo1231 1 year ago
@TheMoo1231 Seasonic and corsair are the same company btw, seasonic make corsair psu's!
FubuMushu 1 year ago
@FubuMushu there not the same company, there both separate but corsairs psu's are manufufatured by seasonic, CWT, and now flextronics apparently.
TheMoo1231 1 year ago
@FubuMushu too expensive. i'll buy for 30 bucks.

@124Z312 Yes, But there will be no problem! There are chances of Pushing it to the limits. But i suggest you to go with a 850W. to be on the safer side

I would also go for a 750, a 650 would also just do absolutally fine, just with a 750 u will be albe to cf your HD 5850 if u desire to.

Whenever I go to play games my computer will just restart.
heres the specs:
core i7 920 cpu
asus p6t deluxe v2
xfx hd radeon 5870
ultra x3 psu
4 gb ddr 3 ram
windows 7 64 bit OS
CoasterChick22 2 years ago
the cpu temps are good, everything else seems to work until I go to play a game. then my computer loads the game but restarts the whole computer like we hit the reset button. We are thinking its a bad power supply. its a 850 watter so its not like we don't have enough power.
anyone have this happen to them ever, when you go to play a game and the computer just restarts, if so what was the prob?
CoasterChick22 2 years ago
@CoasterChick22 are you overclocked or stock what are your specs mobo cpu ram ect i can help
asus3571 1 year ago
Does the restart occur exactly when you open the game or after playing a while?
If it occurs at opening the game then i'd try with another psu.
If it occurs after playing a while my best bet would be your graphics card over heats.

Your pc is too bad. Buy a celeron instead of the i7.

You crazy?

@anpe1001 are you joking or are u serious celeron instead of i7????
asus3571 1 year ago
well that system doesnt need much power.. i7 920 + 5870 use under 300w in 90% load. LGA1366 prosessor use tri channel memory so 3*2gb is better that 2+2gb

how do i know if its crossfire certified?
andre5075 2 years ago
Don't buy into this "Crossfire Certified" crap, it will work for crossfire too.
it's a marketing idea they came up with, they know that people look for certifications, and if their product says it's certified, then they assume, that the others aren't and so they buy their product.
1981z28camaro 2 years ago
Yeah it would be :-)
1981z28camaro 2 years ago
Because this is sli certified can it do crossfire well or is it that it can do it but not very well?
odst121 2 years ago
SLI Certified is just a marketing thing they do, because they know there are people that look SPECIFICALLY for parts that say SLI Certified, and then people will be more likely to buy it, rather than one that doesn't say it.
It's simply supplying power, it has all the necessary hookups, and the either ATI or Nvidia cards will work fine.
It's like EVGA's X58 3X SLI mobo, it doesn't even mention Crossfire, but it DOES support Crossfire :-)
EVGA likes to focus more on Nvidia.
1981z28camaro 2 years ago
Corsair are THE best you can get, a company called "Seasonic" manufacturers them, and they use quality parts, very efficient, very reliable, and have proper protections to protect your hardware if it ever fails.
It also has a 5 year warranty, but make sure you do NOT buy it from like eBay, check the site to see what companies are Certified Retailers, that are covered, or you will get NOTHING for a Warranty. :-(
1981z28camaro 2 years ago
Thanks for the reply
odst121 2 years ago
np :-)
1981z28camaro 2 years ago
You're nearly correct. Corsair aren't the best, but SeaSonic does make some of their units, but not this one. SeaSonic make the older HX series, the CX400, VX450, VX550 and the TX650. CWT make the newer HX series (the one in the video), the 750TX, 850TX, 950TX and the 1000HX.
As for a power supply that beats this: The SeaSonic X-750. Check out its review on JonnyGuru, nothing short of amazing.
Also, it's nice to see a well-informed member of YouTube. :)
meticadpa 2 years ago
thanks :-)
You can't really go wrong with either, when the difference is negligible, I then compare the price, and the Warranties of both companies.
The HX750W has a 5 year warranty, and they have another one (Forget which one) has a 7 Year Warranty. I like this, it shows they have faith in their product, and it gives me piece of mind too knowing I'm covered for a while :-)
but I choose solid products over warranty first. I wouldn't want a crappy part with a 5 year warranty, lol
1981z28camaro 2 years ago
rather get a quality product with less of a warranty.
but both are important.
1981z28camaro 2 years ago
and actually the price is the last thing I consider, it goes in this order. (For PSU's)
1. Quality
2. Warranty
3. Price
noobies reverse the order, their list is like this:
1. Price
2. Warranty
3. Quality
LOL.
this explains why some people buy crappy cheap power supplies.
1981z28camaro 2 years ago
@1981z28camaro i kinda agree but i first go with price(since im not rich or have money to spend on) quality and warranty
