Antec true classic or Corsair RMx

Captainblackops · Oct 19, 2016

Hi guys,
To power my i5 6500 and MSI gaming rx 480 8gb without any hiccups which is a better choice between

Antec True Power Classic 750W https://www.theitdepot.com/details-Antec+TruePower+Classic+750W+Power+Supply+(TP750C)_C14P26615.html
(or)
Corsair RM650x 650W Fully Modular https://www.theitdepot.com/details-Corsair+RM650x+650W+Fully+Modular+PSU+(CP-9020091-EU)_C14P25857.html

(note - both are priced same)

My money would go to the Antec because I have more faith in the company that made it, but the Corsair would not be a bad choice if you wanted a full mod psu.

Note- you really only need a 520-550w unit

Okay mate..Yes you are right about 550w unit but i read people saying when they went with a bit more wattage the GPU heat got reduced..Not sure though ! Can you help me out a bit from this site which are worthy and more than enough PSU's to consider https://www.theitdepot.com/products-PSU+(+Power+Supply+Units)_C14.html

Honestly those are the best 2 quality units on there by a million miles.
Everything else is fairly mediocre quality wise , as cturbo says you only need a 500w+ unit hut there aren't any good quality ones on their.

Both those are top tier units , is the RMx worth the extra to you for the modular cables??
If so buy it, if not go with the antec & save some money.

Yep after looking at their entire inventory, the Antec 750w TPC would be my first choice. The Antec 750w Edge would be my second, and the Corsair RMx would be my third.

RM...x is one of the best (IMHO the best) units out there.
The "less GPU heat is BS", but if you go with RMx PSU, they have the silent fans feature which means that PSU fan is not spinning below ~40%load.
For the RM650x it's 266watt. and that is above what your system will typically consume under gaming load. that means your system will be quieter.
That not to mention 10years warranty of the RM650x

And of course the RM650x is modular - less mess in the case = better airflow = cooler and quieter system

Good choice , saw it on flipkart & amazon but you seemed intent on using itdepot.

Can't go wrong with the seasonic at all.

n0ns3ns3 - Okay mate..But fortunately i found a Seasonic PSU for a good price..Appreciate your detailed input..Thanks mate

True Classic is same platform as G-Series (which has a loud fan), RMx is better than G-Series. RMx is better than True Classic I'd say for sure. Also, I'm not overly fond of Seasonic bias but I can't stop it. To be fair Seasonic doesn't have the lowest RMA rates when compared to some other manufacturers like CWT. Really it's just manufacturer bias that I see too much of. Being Seasonic doesn't make something automatically better.

The S12ii is just old. Newer things have improved to be quite better, such as the new Corsair CXM units.

^ the new cxm's don't seem to have hit Indian shores for some reason :-/
