Cheap, quiet PSU for SLI setup?

cookybiscuit · May 12, 2013

Don't know who makes good PSU's or what to even look for. Looking for a 700w-ish PSU. Needs to be quiet and have 2x 8 pin connectors, what brands should I look into?

Thanks.

Depends on your vender. I would list your budget and vender preference. I use newegg, but the name brand power supplies here may be different from where you are. Some I've never heard of.

Quality PSU brands include Seasonic, Corsair, Antec, PC Power and Cooling, BeQuiet!, XFX and a few more. You can check legitimate reviews for many PSU's here http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page541.htm
What are the system specs you are looking to power?

Thanks for the suggestions. System is 3570k @ 4.5GHz, Asrock Extreme 4, GTX 690. I'm in the UK so I know that makes pricing awkward.

Based on your brand suggestions I found a Corsair CX750, OCZ ZS 750w and Silverstone SST-ST70F-ES, all exactly the same price. Currently have the 550w of the Silverstone PSU and pretty happy with it, thinking to go with that again. Slightly apprehensive about the Corsair one as from looking around it seems people are having alot of them with coil whine, and I've found Corsairs support to be terrible.

Any suggestions?

I have read reports of Corsair's support being less than stellar in the EU, I think you should be served well by the Silverstone Strider 700W

So it turns out the Silverstone one would be pretty awkward because of the connectors, and the OCZ one is out of stock everywhere.

Anyone got anything bad to say about this? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w-corsair-enthusiast-series-650txv2uk-85-eff-80-plus-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-quiet-fan-atx-v

It has pretty decent braided cables, and a bigger fan than the others, which I hope translates to less noise. I could only find a review on the 750w version, it did pretty well.

Alrighty, I think I'll go with that then. Thanks guys.
