go seasonic

Why? Never even seen that PSU.

 

[springs113]

Why?

One of the highest rated psu makers in the world. check out jonnyguru.com, he's one of the best imho of reviewing psu's. The seasonics come highly rated.

corsair 80 gold are made from seasonic. platinum are made from flextronics.
if you can afford ax1200i get one. if not ax1200 and seasonic 1200 are one and the same inside just get cheaper.

Well my Antec 1200w PSU craped out on me. Did not take the computer with it thank God.
It just stopped working and the red light on the back stayed red. I am looking at getting a Corsair 1200w PSU.

Computer Parts, Laptops, Electronics, and More!

Or

You let it discharge for a bit? Could be overloaded, happened to me in the past and the PSU started back working.


Anyway if you are in the market for a new PSU either Seasonic 1250W or XFX 1250W

I didn't like my AX1200 too much, in fact I switched it for now (too noisy for my taste), thinking to switch the PSU fan with a 140mm Noctua or just RMA it.

I'm particularly sensitive to noise though

Corsair PSUs are either Seasonic or Flextronics with their label/sticker on it. Seasonic is basically the highest rated PSU manufacture and OEM.

They are cheaper because they are not digital like the AX1200i, and so the internals are quite a bit different.

well point here was that platinum rated corsair psu are made from flextronics not from seasonic. and there should be reason for that.
i have compared efficiency graphics of ax860 and ax860i from tpu reviews and there is noticeable difference.
also axi series give lowest voltage drop on all rails http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Corsair/AX860i/5.html
consider what effect will have stable voltages under load on performance of all other parts. that was the reason i have trow so much money on my ax860i

I cant make up my mind. I loved my Corsair 1,000W PSU I had back in the day. Was and still is the best PSU I have ever had. It came and was great from the start. I do like AX 1,200wi Corsair PSU as well as the 1,250W Seasonic as well.

go with the longest warranty, they are both excellent units!

Corsair is 7 years.

 

[radrok]

Get the AX1200 then, I don't see much of a gain in the 1200i honestly

Considering the price difference of course.

 

[MxPhenom 216]

AX1200i

Platinum and Digital, and rated VERY HIGH.

 

[Knight091]

AX1200i

Platinum and Digital, and rated VERY HIGH.

I can get the AX 1,200i for 309.99 USD. Or I can get the SeaSonic X-1250 1,250W for 254.99 USD. I just do not know how long that warranty is for them.

 

[Knight091]

SeaSonic covers their PSU for 5 year but Corsair covers their PSU for 7 years....hmmmm

 

[radrok]

I recall seeing the new line of EVGA PSUs going with 10 years warranty, the g2 line.

http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=346

The manufacturer is Super Flower, a 1300W variant is due out soon.

Stay away from the 1500W Nex though, it's a glorified POS.

 

[Norton]

I would recommend the Corsair AX1200/AX1200i

Nice optional cable sets are available too:

Maybe the Corsair rep here will "assist" in making sure a Seasonic psu doesn't go into one of their top tier cases.

So This.. Yes it is 10 years..

EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 120-G2-1300-XR 1300W ATX12V...

 

[radrok]

Yep

Should be SF Leadex based, the 1000W is for sure.

I'm actually liking their new units, can't wait to see their Titanium rated unit. 96% efficiency at 50% load... :O

The EVGA PSU is more power than the Corsair and cheaper. With a longer warranty as well. WIN WIN... Any bad things you read about the 1300W EVGA PSU?

 

[radrok]

Well remember that the AX1200i is Platinum rated though.

There is currently no review of the 1300W Evga around, you should check if it's based on the Leadex design by Super Flower.

If you happen to get that confirmation then I'd say get the 1300W over the others.

EDIT: According to this link it's Super Flower

The EVGA is Gold rated....

 

[radrok]

Depends on what you want.

Corsair costs more but is Platinum and has that nifty software suite with 7years warranty.

Seasonic is basically the same unit as Corsair with less warranty.

The EVGA G2 is cheaper and Gold with 10 years warranty.


Honestly there won't be much difference between 1200W and 1300W.

As I said before the Corsair PSU fan happens to be very noisy for me, but that may be restricted to my sample...


Can't choose for you though

Ok if you were in my spot what PSU out of the 3 would you get...?

 

[radrok]

I'd be torn between the AX1200i and the EVGA 1300W.

Ultimately probably the Corsair while crossing my fingers for a non noisy unit.

Anyway, really, whatever you get is gonna make you happy.

We are talking about the high end spectrum of PSUs and choosing between two masterpiece manufacturers (Seasonic and Superflower)

Ok my choice is the AX1200i 1200W PSU. I love everything Corsair makes and have wanted this PSU ever since I read about it and watched YouTube vids about it. It is beautiful and powerful. I have a saying that has been true for a long time. If you want the best you go with Corsair...
