In a Bit of a PSU Pickle...

joshj2398 · Nov 16, 2013

So I'm building a red and black themed gaming build and thought I had decided on going with the Corsair AX760 PSU because it was red and black, platinum efficiency, and Corsair (I like Corsair...). After this, I stumbled upon the EVGA SuperNOVA 750W 80+ Gold Fully-Modular PSU. Now I'm in a bit of a pickle. Which one do I get? The Corsair AX760 or the EVGA SuperNOVA 750? Note for whom it may concern: I'm not building an SLI system nor do I plan on adding another GPU in the future. Also, I'm aware the EVGA PSU isn't red (it barely has any color, I think just a little gold on the side and the rest is black), but it does have red and black sleeved cables.

Ocz Fatal1ty 750w. Modular, Bronze efficiency, and has a red glowy fan. Can usually be had for under 70 dollars too. It's classified as a tier 2 quality, so it's a great item. The Corsair AX is a tier 1, but I'm betting it's quite a bit more expensive too.

Well if the color coding is important this would do it but only is bronze but quality http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006TVQTFE/?tag=pcpapi-20

Swordkd :

I like the look of that PSU, but I would prefer my PSU to be at least 80+ Gold and fully modular. Also, in general I just don't trust OCZ PSUs because a couple years back I bought a "high quality" OCZ PSU and it ruined my entire system.

Fair enough, the Ax is a nice Psu. The semi-modular part is that the 20 +4pin motherboard cable is always connected. It isn't an issue because you'd need that cable anyways unless you have a system that needs 2 Psu's. I own the Fatal1ty Psu myself because I bought it for 65 dollars and I've been extremely happy with it.

Lol I actually recently just sold that PSU to go with either of the 2 that I'm asking about.

Well it had the color theme!

Get the corsair, plus their sleeved cable pack. Many would say it's a waste of money, but it looks good. I'm adding another gpu for sli, so I haven't completely tidied up the cables yet, but you get the basic idea.

Also, the wires are really weird and ugly which is a big thing for me since my case has a window.
