Rosewill Green RG630 vs OCZ ModxStream Pro 600w

[samuelspark]

Which is better? Or are they similar and I'm just paying the extra $15 for modularity.

I would get the OCZ given the choice!

 

[ilysaml]

Yeah if you're not going to CF/SLI... OCZ

 

[samuelspark]

I might CF 6850's.

 

[ilysaml]

OCZ ModXstream, StealsXtream aren't good PSUs for CF/SLI
This one is great, has plenty of wattage if you wanna add some more stuff
Antec High Current Gamer 750W

That's way overbudget. What about the 620w version?

It will handle a couple of HD6850

 

[samuelspark]

Why is it so much better? The Rosewill has 2 more amps on the 12v rail than the Antec.

 

[ilysaml]

Rosewill PSUs are kinda not famous and branded such as Corsair, Antec, CM,.....
So it might not deliver the required wattage.
and the 620W Antec will run your CF, but it will be tight for your needs.

Mostly based on reputation!

 

[samuelspark]

-.- I don't think that's a very good reason to spend $20 more.

 

[ilysaml]

Never go cheap in PSUs, it could fry out all your system once at a time.
If you don't have the money right now, just wait until you save some unless you want to experience performance issues and serious disappointing problems.
It's up to you at the end.

Both of those units have reviewed quite well.
Up to you if you want semi-modular or not.

The modxstream and the rosewill green both have golden awards from hardware secrets so I think they're pretty decent.
