Corsair, hands down.

650W is plenty for both of those upgrades together, and Corsair makes quality PSUs. Thermaltake does not.

MrAcd · May 28, 2013

Is it really worth the extra amps and more power in general, still sacrifice that for the corsair? The ther thermal make got good reviews

dalmvern · May 28, 2013

Being that with a 780 and FX 8350, both overclocked you wont be drawing more than 500W MAXIMUM...you arent sacrificing anything. Regardless of the reviews, Corsair PSUs are built with better quality components and the extra power does absolutely nothing for you.

That is a review for the Corsair TX750 V2, the TX650 v2 is built in the same process.

I have the TX650 and it can deliver near 900W of power in room temps of 38C.

Get the Corsair, its FAAAR superior.

MrAcd · May 28, 2013

How 900w? I have heard of some you can do that with but how?overclcocked PSU?

Would the tx650 v2 be sufficient for a fx- 8350 OCed and a GTX 780 OCed and a custom water cooling loop?

And I heard sometimes when the fan isn't spinning on the PSU it makes a high pitch squeal?

Novuake · May 28, 2013

MrAcd :

Yes, more than sufficient.

I can't say anything about the squeal? Never had mine do that or heard of one doing that.

As for the power delivery : They manufacture PSU according to a certain design, that design is then rated to deliver 650W(rated) within certain parameters, parameters like, temps, noise, efficiency.
Now my guess is the manufacturer of this PSU(Seasonic) standards are VERY high, so they underrate their PSU instead of overrating them like most manufacturers.
It has nothing to do with overclocking.

MrAcd · May 28, 2013

I understand, and that's just your speculations, that's isn't confirmed is it?

All in all I think I might go with the corsair, even tho the other has more watts and amp, I guess quality means everything.

MrAcd · May 28, 2013

Oh snap what about this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139040

dalmvern · May 28, 2013

The Corsair CX models are their bottom of the line power supplies. Not bad by any means, but I would still say stick with the TX series...ill say again, that TX650 power supply has more than enough to overclock everything and still leaves plenty of headroom. If you are dead set on overpowering your rig with 750 watts, there is a TX750 model as well.

Novuake · May 28, 2013

MrAcd :

Its confirmed that the TX V2 PSUs deliver much more power than rated and that it uses some ofg the best quality components. What Seasonics reasoning is behind it, is just specultaion.

Novuake · May 28, 2013

MrAcd :

The TX V2 are still better quality. The 650 V2 still delivers more than that CX.

MrAcd · May 28, 2013

REALLY! So your telling me that the TX650 V2 delivers more power than the CX750

Novuake :

MrAcd · May 28, 2013

Its not that im stuck on the 750w I just want the best bang for my buck, and more amps, so it will last longer. See what happen was I bought a CX500 and I thought it was gonna last me a long time( with like a core 2 duo and a gt 610) well then I built a new computer and im using 450W still 50w but my brother is buying my cx500 so I got to get a new one, and later, I want to make sure I can use this for my future 8 core and high end gpu builds, so yeah I just want the best for the best price and more amps and stuff so it will last longer into the future.

Novuake · May 28, 2013

MrAcd :

Yes, that is what I am saying, read the review i posted. Then you will understand.

dalmvern · May 28, 2013

MrAcd :

Just because a power supply provides 750W does not mean that it will last longer than than a 650W power supply. It just means it provides 100W more power to the computer. Overpowering a computer does nothing for you.

Do yourself a favor and put your future computer in here and see the power your computer actually needs.

Novuake :

So really the TX650 V2 can preform past what it actually is labeled as. So out of all three the TX650 still wins even though it beats the both of the others, beating the thermaltake in quality and the CX in that it is just a better series PSU?

Correct. Its been discontinued sadly. So buy while you can.

MrAcd · May 28, 2013

UGGH I hate bringing back up but, before I almost ordered it I found this one in the todays ad http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171067 so its between this one and the TX650 V2

MrAcd · May 28, 2013

and its modular and if you look at my sig and at that case it lacks cable management bad

Novuake · May 28, 2013

MrAcd :

That one is not in the same price range, it is better in some ways. Also very high build quality.
If you willing to spend that much for no reason, get the Silent Pro.

MrAcd · May 28, 2013

Is it 10$ more worth it(to me its only 10$)

Novuake · May 28, 2013

MrAcd :

The TX650 V2 is only 70$ after rebate. But yeah, if you are willing to pay the extra money, why not?

MrAcd · May 28, 2013

like im asking is it worth the extra 10$, like is it actually a good bit better than the TX

dalmvern · May 28, 2013

If you want modular and are buying today...
