Power supply unit

dvorsiman · Aug 25, 2016

I decided to buy a better PSU because I got <mod edit>with the chieftec crap.

Recommend a quality PSU (pref tier 1) in the price range -- 120-180€.

My specs;
-CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 3.4ghz (w/ Cooler Master Hyper212x)
-PSU: http://www.chieftec.eu/en/psus/new-a-135-serie/aps-850c...
-RAM: 4x4GB Kingston Hyperx Fury
-Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology z77-ds3h
-Chipset: intel ivy bridge
-GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming
-W: W7 64bit
-HDD: 1TB

I've got my eyes on Corsair AX760 or Corsair RMX850.
Please keep in mind my specs and remind me if perhaps 750/760watt isn't going to be enough to properly power my system.

Thanks for your time!

if you can afford a rmx 850 series go for it.

Either will work, and 760w would be enough to run 2 1070s in SLI. I would probably go for the RMx.

the rmx is tier 2 and costs 140e, whereas ax is supposedly tier 1 and costs 170e

dvorsiman :

Incorrect. It is tier 1. But I don't care for tiers anyway.

bignastyid · Aug 25, 2016

dvorsiman :

The original RM850 was tier 2(some models are tier 3), the newer RMx series are much better units than the old RM series.

dvorsiman · Aug 25, 2016

bignastyid :

so is the rmx850 i linked a newer unit in the series and therefore perhaps better than the other?

as a side note, if anyone has a better psu in mind, please share. the conversation doesnt have to be limited to the two i mentioned

edit 2: sorry about profanity, i was moody

dvorsiman · Aug 25, 2016

also, im curious if the rmx850 would even fit in my case.. on the official page it says the dimensions are 150x86x180 (http://www.corsair.com/en/rmx-series-rm850x-850-watt-80-plus-gold-certified-fully-modular-psu-eu)
is 180 the length or width?
i have the AEROCOOL Aero-800 Blue case

furthermore, is it compatible with my system?

I own the RMx 850 , grab one , fantastic power supply.

180mm is the length.

dvorsiman · Aug 25, 2016

alright so i assume the 150 is width. ill have to check if the psu box is wide enough..

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 25, 2016

Should be wide enough.

dvorsiman · Aug 25, 2016

yeah i checked, its enough. so rmx850 it is. thanks!
