PSU: Corsair RMx vs TX-M vs EVGA G2

killermeemstar · Nov 17, 2017

Which power supply would you advise on getting. The TX-m is cheapest than the other two ( TX-m is around £60 whilst the other two are £85)
Which would you recommend, I'm open to any other PSU you would recommend.

Thanks

TXM is fine for most pc's, the G2 and RMx are a step up and usually used by those pushing extreme OC as they have tighter ripple

I had a Corsair TX750M for a few years. It just died on me recently(lost receipt, warranty claim rejected).... Ended up buying a new RM750i to replace it. Only did so because it was $20 off in store and has a $20 mail-in rebate. It has a 10 year warranty on it so just have to make sure I don't lose the receipt this time.

I will be using my PC for mostly gaming.
Will the TX-M be fine in terms of reliability? Or will I be better getting a RMx? As I think the Warranty on RMx is 10 years compared to 7 years TX-M
I probably will not be over clocking and was just looking for a good PSU that'll last a while.
Thanks

A side from warranty, there's only 2 other differences. With the RMx, you'll save a little bit of money on electricity costs & if there's ever a major surge... your PC has a higher chance of survival with it then with the TX.

toshibitsu :

This is the new model of the TXm just released not long ago it's not the old one.

I'm hoping surge shouldn't be a problem as I use surge protected outlets. Would you recommend the TX-M if i can get it £25 cheaper?

killermeemstar :

The TXm will work just fine and could last just as long.

killermeemstar · Nov 17, 2017

Are there any significant differences between the RMX and TX-M with regards to reliability/ how long they would last?

toshibitsu · Nov 17, 2017

If you have the money and want the piece of mind in knowing you have a 'slightly better' PSU, then go for the RMx. Otherwise... no. There's a 99% chance it won't matter.

Okay, thanks. Will probably go with the TX-M as it's on sale. Thanks for the quick replies all.
