Which PSU do I need for Geforce G1 GTX 980TI ?

[Len]

Why have you not already bought the 750w g2 lol. It is basically the best PSU on the market for an average builder.

You are lucky its still 99.99 on amazon, but that wont last because B&H price just went up.

It's not the G2,
It's this one:

That's all they have here..

Oh you said it was the one you linked on last page (which was the G2 lol).

That PSU is decent but not as good as the G2. Can you get seasonic MII bronze 620w evo where you are at? That is a good PSU for the money.

[mittacc]

I would strongly reccomend to stay as far away from the corsair RM series as possible. I might've been extremely unlucky with my products but I've got 2 of those 750 ones breaking down after a year and possibly even damaged my mobo a bit.

Sorry,
I might have linked the wrong one cause I have been looking at so many PSU's...

It's this one:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16817438007

So is it better to go with the Corsair?

Or, there's this SeaSonic that someone asked,
I could get this one:

https://seasonic.com/product/m12ii-620-evo/

That's what they have.

Corsair is out, thats a bad PSU (if it was CX650M thats a much better model). What is the price difference between the supernova nex and the season 620 evo?

SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W - 102 Euro

EVGA NEX750B 750W 80+ Bronze - 117 Euro

[Fascinate]

SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W - 102 Euro

EVGA NEX750B 750W 80+ Bronze - 117 Euro

Ouch those prices. Seasonic is the better value tho.

[willtron]

Thanks a lot for your reply, I truly appreciate it.

I'll tell you what I'm juggling around about,

The CS650M and EVGA 750 that I've previously linked, have a difference of about 15euro between them (the cs650m costs 15euro more, I'm assuming cause it'd gold and ofc, Corsair)...

I understand the 750w is "overkill" unless I expand my system (which is something I don't really see myself doing, be that SLI or xfire or whatnot).

But I'm just thinking that if the Corsair is more expensive anyway, even if not by much, and the EVGA is better and cheaper,
Shouldn't I get that?

You're overthinking it. Just get the EVGA Supernova 750w G2/G3, they're proven and they're good.

They don't have it in stock,
No one around actually,
Just this model I have linked.. :/

Even the G3?
What country do you live in?

They just don't have it in stock,
They ran out ..
They could order it, but it'll take time.. and I'm without a PSU atm :|

you can read through that, or let me know what country you live in, or where you normally shop from online and I'll find you one.

450W should be more than enough.

I am currently in Tel-Aviv (Israel)

I'm shopping mostly from local chain-shops.

I'm not a huge fan of buying stuff from Amazon, cause of taxes, customs etc..

I was told by a shop I went to,
that they have had some problems with SeaSonic PSU's..
Also this specific model (MII 620w bronze),
they told me that they were experiencing some problems such as:

When people were turning the computer on, the PSU would not turn on right away, but after a second or two,

And also it would shut down randomly during work.

Idk what to do anymore :<<<

You are really making this thread far longer than it needs to be. If you dont trust my advice this is what you do, look online to see what parts you can get for the best prices then go to johnnyguru to read reviews of each individual unit. After you do this, buy the cheapest PSU you can find at your local retailer for the best price you can find.

The opposite,
I completely trust your opinion,
And I couldn't find a review about the 620w on Jonyguru, but the 520 or 850.. :/

[moremana]

wow this has gotten way out of hand.

Gold rated psus use better components, platinum the same. The cheaper you get the cheaper the components. Some manufactures are better than others and one company never sticks to the same OEM, some do. Research on the specific power supply you want is going to have to be done. If you want to do it, its a good learning experience imo as this is the MOST important part of your build.

You cant be on the fence and keep changing your mind. EVGA does not make their own psus, they use mainly Superflower which is a damn good psu OEM, Seasonic is as well. You mention some shop said they were having a bunch of issues with Seasonic Bronzes....well they are bronze certified so see above about why, you get what you pay for, Seasonic isnt going to use premium components in a Bronze.

I only buy golds, no matter who I use, thats the sweet spot for me and its my own opinion. The question you need to ask yourself is, is it worth $20 bucks to get bronze and have issues or go for the gold? Its a crap shoot, most will last and some will fail, its electronics...it happens.

I use Seasonic and EVGA, I have never had any issues with them, I did buy a Corsair RM only for the looks and I wanted the psu to match a Corsair build. It failed but they did rma it and I have it sitting in my closet. Its was the RMx series. Does that mean I'll never buy Corsair again..no.

EVGA G2 and the new G3s are very good psus amade by Superflower, and are Gold Rated. Just get one.

EDIT: And you DONT need 750 watts, you never will with a single graphics card build! Dont buy an overpowered psu just because you can.

My server has a 650W P2 by EVGA, been running non stop for 18mo, this is the only non gold I have, and its because I dont need it to fail. It has a Xeon 1225v3, 32GB Ram, 6 HDD and a GTX 980 in it for cuda cores. And its still overpowered.

Here is a list of power supply distributors with the oem manufacturer. Anything made by Superflower, Seasonic, Sparkle or FSP is good.

sounds like those shops are desperate for that extra €15!

Righty,
So, at the end, I came to a decision..
Since there's none of the EVGA I wanted in stock, and I don't want the Corsair either,
And apparently, the shipment of SeaSonic PSU's that was brought here, had tons of problematic PSU's and shops are really angry
at the supplier that brings SeaSonic to Israel,
I'm going for FSP Hydro X 650W 80+ Gold
Even though it's not Modular nor Semi-modular..

http://www.kitguru.net/components/po...-review/all/1/

What do ya think? Is it worth it? or modular is not not such a big deal and should not be a factor for choosing a PSU

Johhny Guru says its good, no issues with the quality. This is the review for the smaller 550 though, should be the same. As far as modular, the value is up to you. Its a decent psu and they sell for around $79 us.

This one is the same price, older model but its still good and modular.
