Seasonic X750 Gold, SLI question - Page 3

post #21 of 22

I remember about 7-8 years ago a very smart friend of mine that did a lot of reading bought a High dollar psu. While i did know
it would help but i didnt think it was nessesary. I did try to find a good power supply but at that time there wasnt a lot of sites that
talked about why it was better.
On this build I bought a seasonic 750x gold and I still was having problems justifying the cost until
I tested a couple of older boards that kept having intermittant isses. It was because of the power supplies i was using. For the older
systems i bought some midrange new power supplies on sale that solved the problem. I did some reading on vrms and power supplies
and for once took advice and Im so happy i got the sabertooth and the seasonic. i have 0 issues with this build. Easy overclocks
and extremely stable.

Still.. really confused on which board I want, as I've only managed to halt two orders now over being indecisive. Lol, VRMs weren't really a problem in my old boards case, no CLUE what caused it to do that, but it ran perfectly fine for a year at 4.2. Then sitting on the desktop, I ended up with a burned mess. The reason that I replaced the M4A88 was because of the VRMs though wink.gif 4+1 throttles this CPU all the dang time mad.gif

Very happy I went Seasonic as well, LOVE this PSU. And for the post a few above, I didn't know that SST would do that, going to ask them for an EPS cable (moddiy sells them too apparently), definitely going to hang onto it- as it measures fine with a voltmeter.

Learned the hard way long time ago that crappy PSUs were terrible, though I haven't exactly tried the mid-ranged ones unless that's where Seasonic fits (of course lolkingwinisOP). All I knows is that this PSU is definitely enough. 650 -might- be pushing it close though, I don't have all my fans and HDDs plugged in either, so the usage would probably go up a fair bit, not to mention 2 Fermi.

The X750 does LOL at folding on a single GPU + CPU though, for sure. Very impressed thus far, and- it's extremely quiet. Fan spins for maybe a minute or two, quietly, every 10 minutes or so, hah.
