Are Antec PSUs Good?

CreepyBobo346 · Feb 14, 2015

I am choosing between two power supplies, mainly the companies:

1: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750W 80+ Gold
2: Antec EA-750 Platinum

Which one is better and is Antec even good?

EVGA makes some outstanding PSUs, but of those two the Antec is better. See the Tier list below - the Antec is a Tier 2A, the EVGA Tier 2B.

Yes they are both good. The Antec has better power consumption (Platinum grade), over the EVGA (Gold grade). But the difference in consumption is so minuscule that the only actual difference in my opinion is the price of the actual PSU.

I get the Antec one right?

volcanoscout · Feb 14, 2015

This would be a better choice - it's a Tier 1, is fully modular unlike the Antec, and costs less:\

The Antec one is $3 cheaper.

Actually the Antec one I'm choosing is cheaper (Not including mail-in-rebates):

the antec is to expensive and have 4 12v rail
the evga is not the best

go with antec hcg or evga B2 or G2 serie

Depends on where you buy it: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/compare/antec-power-supply-ea750platinum%2Cevga-power-supply-220g20750xr/

Personally, I'll never buy a non-modular PSU - there are too many advantages with modular systems. You just use the cables you need, reducing your cable management requirements, and when you're running the cables, being able to do so from either end or both at the same time is huge. You can swap out cables at need, and if you need to pull the PSU for some reason, you can disconnect all the cables and leave them in place.

If I use the full modular cables will that give me better cooling in my case?

I'll go with the EVGA one if it can reduce cable clutter.

volcanoscout · Feb 14, 2015

Effective cable management will prevent disruptions to smooth air flow in your case and give you better cooling results. You can have effective management with a non-modular, but this is much easier with a modular system.

I definitely recommend the EVGA G2 750W - you're not going to find another PSU of the same quality and price that is ALSO fully modular.

Both are just average.

Here's some great choices.

CreepyBobo346 · Feb 14, 2015

Going with EVGA

volcanoscout · Feb 14, 2015

Good to go. If you read the technical reviews on the G2, they're pretty impressive.
