NZXT 700W vs. Corsair HX 750

Iglesias · Sep 23, 2013

I'm planning to get the NZXT Hale 82 V2 700 watt or the Corsair HX 750 watt.

Which one is better?
Newegg has the corsair at $110 with a promo code and NZXT for $100.

Are they both reliable?
What about the NZXT I showed you

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2013

The 700w NZXT , you linked is a Sirtec model , the one I linked is a 750w Seasonic which is much higher quality.

Yes both are reliable.

Iglesias · Sep 23, 2013

What about the link I linked, is it reliable?

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2013

The NZXT , I linked is the best , then the HX , you linked is decent.

The Corsair HX850 is one of the best PSUs (10.0 jonnyguru performance rating) on the market .... it has better voltage regulation and lower ripple the the AX 850/860 . The hX750 is untested by jonny which makes side by side comparisons diffiiclt. The HX1000 and HX1050 were rather poor PSUs by comparison w/ 9.0 and 8.5 performance ratings

The NZXT Hale 82 750 watter scored a relatively poor 8.0 rating ... I'd suggest never getting less than 8.5

The NZXT Hale 82 850 watter scored a relatively disastrous 7.0 rating

The NZXT Hale 90 850 watter scored a respectable 9.5 rating

it's absolute foolishness to judge any PSU by another of the same brand. And while the product line or series is somewhat of a quality indicator, as you can see above, t's never reliable to draw conclusions from one model in a line to another (i.e. HX to HX) ... In other words ...just cause the 850 watts PSU got a 10.0, doesn't mean that a 750 will do as welll....and visa versa.... just cause a 850 got a 7.o, doesn't necessarily mean the 700 is a 7.0 too.

The only PSU I have liked better than the HX850 / Seasonic X-850 is the Antec CP-850 as it had same performance level but was quieter and half the price.

BTW, if ya getting case too.....there are some nice combo discounts with the 500R and other Corsair cases.

Anyone else?

Iglesias · Sep 23, 2013

Mm, I went with the NZXT V2.
I wanna give them a try, it seems like they're a good quality brand.

The Version 2 aren't that good they are made by Sirtec.
