I have 1 week til I order new PSU, mainly been using 'hardwaresecrets' for the consistient and to the point reviews, unlike johnyguru

what does the OCN folk think of HS

 

[obsidian86]

pretty good just as good as jonny guru but better funded since they buy a lot of power supplies retail to test which also helps expose the pos units

just read there review of a Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W, most 12V ripple/noise I've seen yet

I usually just go by what phaedrus and twocables say.

 

[Fierce Mullet]

It's a very reliable site. Just remember that Gabe places a lot of emphasis on "price point" if you're looking at which PSUs have various awards.

 

[adjas]

good site, johnny guru good too

OR you can just tell us what PSU you plan to get to power which components.

Alot easier and reliable.

If I want to throw down I'll get this silverstone for $135 which seems pretty for 80+silver and fully modular, which I really want

but theres a few that are a bit cheaper, and keeping a close eye on sales next week too

Good numbers and methodology, but they don't publish exact vreg numbers and Gabe hands out awards like candy.

^ same guy who does the techpowerup reviews

 

[StarDestroyer]

the HS review of the seasonic built xfx core edition 750W has even better ripple for clean 6950 CF juice, but its not modular, but its also $20 less

I have a modular right now and its so much tidier and better for air flow, I only use 1 sata cable for HDD and DVD, tough choice

I've had that exact same PSU but I switched it out for an XFX 750w. After reading more about the TR2 units and asking around on ocn about it, I decided on getting a replacement. Although my rig doesn't pull even close to the danger zone for the TR2, I did not want to take the risk when the time came to upgrade.

the XFX 750W PRO750W XXX Edition 80+silver looks good too, its seasonic, semi-modular and cheaper than the silverstone, thats also a top canidate for my price range
