Is this a good PSU?

[kirov96]

Ei guys do you recommend Corsair GS700w 80plus or Seasonic M12II is a better choice?


im also planning to SLI my build in the future.and please could you give references why I should go for that 'PSU'

anyways tnx in advance...

 

[sunnk]

the seasonic would be an better choice.

 

[unksol]

which seasonic M12II? that's a whole series. and which cards do you want to SLI?

Seasonic has higher quality components but they still make some rediculous multi 12v rail supplies. if they are the same wattage and both single rail seasonic is "better". Corsairs are also good though, and cheaper.

 

[kirov96]

@unksol it's the 700w seasonic and the cards i plan to sli are two gtx 560 TIs

 

[sunnk]

it's the 700w seasonic and the cards i plan to sli are two gtx 560 TIs

it would just work fine with two gtx 560ti sli no problem.

750w+ is generally recommended for SLI GTX 560Ti's.

700w would work with a good unit like the SeaSonic however its generally recommended you get a little higher.

Never heard of a 700W Seasonic unit.
Obviously you mean a 750W .= which is more the enough power!

Plus the original M12D and more recent M12II series also featured the same power range.
A quality 650W will run 2x560ti's.

A 700 watt Seasonic

Probably not the OP's , he did say M12II.

If it were, I'd trust it, not running an sli setup on it anymore but my HX620 from 2006 still works like a champ
Moderator mousemonkey uses his HX620 from 2006 to power his 560 sli system.

The Seasonic is the best choice.
5yr warranty and semi-modular cables.

 

[totalknowledge]

Seasonic for sure.

 

[kirov96]

SEASONIC IT IS!!!!

A bit fuzzy but I hope it gets the point across.

Yes they are and I run them at the 900mhz that they were at when I took them out of their boxes.

 

[kirov96]

Ohhhhhhh. thanks moderator

 

[Mousemonkey]

I have had the CPU @4.3ghz for a while though.

 

[kirov96]

@mousemonkey so I could easily run an SLI config and an OC'ed CPU with a quality 700w psu?[:mousemonkey:1]

 

[Mousemonkey]

Oh yes, quite easily. Mine has been getting thrashed since April last year and it's still going strong and as was said earlier, my PSU is not exactly as fresh as a daisy!
