I can't make up my mind: PC P&C or Corsair...

[Seufari]

So I cannot make up my mind to save my life... I need a PSU upgrade quickly as I ship mine out tomorrow. Right now my rig consists of:

e6300 3.5ghz at 1.5v
Asus P5b-Deluxe Wifi
2gb Crucial 10th Anniversary at DDR2-1000 with 2.1v
x1900xtx
3 x Seagate SATA drives
2 x DDC watercooling pumps
6 fans

I might upgrade my video card come second generation DX10.

Modular cables are worth nothing to me as I just end up using them all anyways. I just want the best bang for my buck. Every little dollar counts to me and I dont want to be unsatisfied.

My choices are:

PC P&C 610w Silencer $165 shipped
http://www.eastluna.com/hardware/details.php?id=2014

PC P&C 750w Silencer Refurb. $192 shipped
http://www.pcpower.com/specials/

PC P&C 510w Turbo-Cool SLI USED ~$125 shipped

Corsair 520w $115 shipped
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=373100



Right now I am leaning towards the Corsair 520w or the PC P&C 610w. I dont mind buying used at all but the only one I can really find is the Turbo-Cool 510w. I think the 750w is more than I will need, and therefore, not worth the extra money. I looked at Seasonics S12 line, but for cheaper Id take the Corsair and for the same price, I'd rather have the PC P&C.

I really need someone just to tell em what to get. :(


THANKS!

You can get a "brand new" Silencer 750 , cheaper then that:p
All the Silencers are rated at 40C, tht Turbo-cool and the Corsair-50C
plus 3% reg. for the Silencers vs. 1% for the Tubo-cool

But I don't think that Turbo-cool would be good for your setup,

Your leaning towards the 610 0r the Corsair?
The 610 has up to 49a@12v{at 40C}, The Corsair has 40a@12v{but at 50C}
The Corsair is modular, cheaper in cost,120mm vs.80mm fan,plus 50C caps:D
You do the math;)

Where can I find a brand new one for less than $192 shipped? I may just go with that then!

Your still going with a Silencer, even after all that hard evidence slapping you in the face?:confused:

The 750 is a more robust PSU{which you wern't leaning to before}
60a{40C]@12Vx1-peak 825w{40C}

And might be considered overkill in price and performance for your rig,
unless that is your going to run 2x 8800GTX's GPU's in SLI.

All I know is you can get a new 750 for around $200{not shipped}
VS. another person's DOA or RMA'ed PSU which has been rebuilt as
{mabey better,I would hope}good as new.

If you really want to know where, check [H], I'm pretty sure I read about it over there, a post about a ultra low priced 750.
DavidH could help you on that, if the sale still exist:)

Once again=Corsair
Your getting 1a more with the S12, justify spending more for 1a which it doesen't make since because, the S12 Is rated at 100% load at 40C, and
80% load at 50C.

Corsair at full load -50C , and don't forget the 105C caps on the Corsair:D

Man... Your right... Maybe I should get the Corsair... :wall: :D

Now if only I could find a 620w for extremely cheap... Is it worth the $45 extra???

Thanks for all of your help, I expect to have my PSU ordered before I go to bed!

Google time:)
I'm hitting the hay mysely,
Wise choice on the Corsair;)
The 620 has 50a{50C}@12v:D

[Seufari]

I went with the 620w...

If nothing more, It killed my chronic upgraditis. This is pretty much the best I can buy!

Thanks once again for your help!
