OK, I'm about to change my two 4850's to two 4870 1Gb in a few week.
I am running my Q6600 with 1.5v core, that means probably 150w full load just for it. I am pretty sure with a smaller OC and smaller voltage I could run the two 4870's with my Enermax, but I don't want to risk.
So I figured out I need something in the 650W range.
Important things (most important in first place)
1) quiet
2) quiet (I'm running the rig 24/7)
3) high efficiency
4) modular
5) low ripple/noise
6) suitable for quadcore tunning and crossfire
7) did I mention quiet?
Now the problem is, there are very few competitors in this class available here:
- Enermax Modu82+ 625w
- Enermax Liberty Eco 80+ 620w
- Corsair HX620
- Hiper HPU-5K680 (and various other Hipers, Andyson/CWT units rebranded)
- Coolermaster RealPower M620 RS-620
- Coolermaster Silent Pro M600 RS-600 and various other higher wattage CM's
and pretty much that's all.
I would go for the Antec Signature 650 but it is not available.
So which of them is the "ultimate"? I don't really care about the price at this time, I am glad to spend a few bucks more if I could have something that would last for another one year.
Thanks for all of your comments in advance.
