Should i get a High Quality PSU?

Daniel Felices · Jul 28, 2014

Can i run sapphire r9 280x toxic edition(@default settings) @ full load with my current PSU(FSP 600 Hexa Series? Also am i able to run crossfire setup on my current PSU? If not, can you guys recommend me a good quality psu that can run a crossfired r9 280x?

PS.
My sapphire r9 280x toxic edition is running hot @full load, its temperature ranges between
80-90C. I already tried buying a decent case(NZXT Phantom 410) and fans, but it doesn't seem to be working. I was wondering that the cause of it is my PSU.

Unfortunately, there's no available xfx psu brand here on my country(Philippines) the only available 850W psu here is
Seasonic (X850) X-series, 850watts 80Plus Gold
Seasonic (P860) 860watts Platinum Series, Modular
Seasonic (M12II) Evo 850watts 80Plus Bronze

Im not sure if this Seasonic series is good. So, can you just choose the best one?

Also available PSU
Corsair RM 850watts (RM850M) 80Plus Gold, Fully Modular
Corsair AX-I 860watts (AX860i) 80Plus Platinum
Corsair 860watts (AX860) 80Plus Platinum

PS.
Do you think my current psu can burn my gpu ?

Seasonic is a great brand, as is Corsair. I haven't heard of FSP, and generally that's because the brand is bad. There are a few brands that are at the top, and the ones below it tend to fail or blow up after any stress.

And I don't think your PSU is causing your GPU to overheat. Either it has terrible airflow or the fan is set to a certain speed, instead of adapting to the heat. But anything can happen with an unknown brand of PSU.

the above options are all good psu just pick one of them and if u are going to crossfire then 600 watt not enough but for a single r9 280x you will have no problem wattage wise but i cant say anything about your psu brand how good the quality is and how stable it will be under load...
