Hi
I would like to ask which one PSU is the best for my pocket and for my system. Im not going paint/mod the cables/connectors , im just trying to find the best one for myself .
It must be fully modular , at least 80+ Gold certificate . At the moment im thinking about Seasonic X750 or P860 , if someone have a better idea just let me known it !

9.9 out of 10 from jonnyguru.


Performance (40% of the final score) - we're down to scoring time again. And, as with all other recent units from EVGA and Super Flower, this one will be a breeze to score. Pass for Gold, both cold and hot, means no points removed from a perfect score. Amazing ripple suppression the likes of which has only been seen a handful of times on this site means no points removed there. And finally, yes, this unit did manage to hold onto an average of 1.2% regulation in the hot box so no points come off there, either. This guy's getting a 10.

Functionality (20% of the final score) - full modularity. Lots of cables. Good cable lengths. Plenty of connectors. Switchable semi-fanless mode. Lots of goodies in the box. Nice size 16 gauge line cord. I really can't think of anything to complain about here, either. 10.

Value (20% of the final score) - $144.99 is the asking price of these at Newegg right about now. It shares this price with the Silverstone ST85F-GS. Now, about the only thing that unit has on this one is its much shallower depth. Other competition? What other competition? Coolmax? More money, if you can believe that. Corsair HX850? More money. Corsair RM850? More money. Themaltake Toughpower Grand? More money. Seasonic X-850 KM3? Way more money. EVGA has this category locked right down. 10.

Build Quality (20% of the final score) - I'm going to remove a point for the fan control wiring and be done with it on this one. Soldering is good enough to pass with no deductions, the AC line filter is pretty much all there in the end, the component selections are fantastic, and the capacitors are wall to wall Japanese. 9.5.

Shame, that XFX is a good way to get top quality for less.

You can't go wrong with Seasonic, arguably the best PSU manufacturer they're is, so your getting the best.

Only thing better than the X-Series would be Seasonic's Platinum series.

Ok guys so got an EVGA 850 G2 , was on stock and it was 50 euro cheaper than Seasonic one. There is only 1 problem , that the coil is whining. Would it cause any kind of issue in the future? I would disassemble it and put there some glue but warranty is warranty ... The old PSU already sold so I just pwned my own self hard, very hard ! :)
