I'm looking for a font, maximum budget 80€

[PolRec]

Hello everyone, I'm PolRac and I hope to be with you for a long time. Although I'm not very knowledgeable, I learn a lot from you ;D

The thing is, I find it very difficult to choose a good power supply, my intentions are to renew the whole PC and I think it would be better to start with the aforementioned.

The goal is a PC designed for gaming, with something like an FX8150 or better, paired with a graphics card like the 7870, with the possibility of setting up a Crossfire that in the future I can find another cheaper one and buy a second one. I currently have a 2TB Seagate, 4 fans, a burner, a panel with fan speed control and nothing else inside the case.

It's not something extreme or anything, and I thought that for 80€ or less there are pretty good power supplies.

I was particularly attracted to this power supply, they are quite new, and it's 10€ cheaper than on pccomponentes, even more than on many other sites:

Aerocool Templarius Imperator 750W - Power Supply 750W, 230V, 80Plus Gold, ATX 12V 2.3, ultra-quiet fan, silver color: Amazon.es: Computers & Electronics

How do you see it? It fits well within the budget limit, I'm open to other options ;D

PD: it's Plus Silver instead of Gold as it says on the website.

Best regards and thanks!

hello and welcome

well Corsair TX 650w - Corsair CMPSU-650TXV2 - Power Supply (650 W, 85 %, Over current, Over voltage, Short circuit, Under voltage, 100000 h, UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TÜV, CCC, C-tick): Amazon.es: Computers

Corsair GS700 - Corsair GS700 - Power Supply, 700 W, AC Input Voltage: 100 to 240 V, Black: Amazon.es: Computers

goodbye

[PolRec]

The TX650 is a bit out of my reach, with shipping it's almost 90€. The GS700 is on the limit, it looks good but in that series there was a known problem with the fan, which started to make noise.

PD: Checking the comments on videos and forums, I see that they released a ''2013 Edition'' that solves it, but even so I see recent posts that still talk about strange noises in the fan, I think I will end up discarding both.

Still, thank you very much for your opinion ;D

[ferelxyx]

well look at others, the one you put isn't very good, wait a little while and I'll find you one. OK

[ferelxyx]

NOX Urano VX 750 - Power Supply (750 W, 230 V, 50 Hz, 140 mm, Superior, Active) - 66 euros

NOX Urano TX 850 - Power Supply (850 W, 230 V, 50 Hz, 140 mm, Superior, Active) - 76 euros - I would choose this one

Modular NOX HUMMER 650W PFC Active 140 mm Power Supply - 70 euros

here you have them and they are better than the aerocol, I can assure you,
they are 80+ although it is not written, because that is paid to put it and nox does not pay it to sell cheaper

[PolRec]

I don't doubt your word, but what's wrong with the Aerocool?

If you say they're better, then I'll get them instead of that one and save a few euros.

The 80+ thing is just a certificate after all and it's more of a marketing thing, apart from the power supply being a bit more expensive, right?

[ferelxyx]

well, the one who makes them = Who really makes the power supplies - HardLimit

[PolRec]

Many thanks, I already have something to entertain myself with, I will read everything carefully, and I think I will forget about the Aerocool.

[ferelxyx]

if you don't need much power, this is one of the best - Seasonic S12II Bronze 620W - 65 euros

the Aerocool Strike-X are good, but the one you put is not

In a hypothetical Crossfire, according to this, and taking as reference two 7870s consume the following:

And it says in the text:

The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a SSD hard drive is used with a single CD ROM and minimal cooling fans.

If I put a powerful processor I don't know how things will turn out…

How do you see it?

[ferelxyx]

if you are thinking about doing crossfire, you have to spend at least 100 euros on the power supply
if not forget it, you can't have a ferrari with the engine of a golf

a corsair TX 750W is enough, but you will go over 100 euros (this series is manufactured by seasonic)
AeroCool Strike-X Power 800W - approx 90 euros
if you don't have the budget, stick with the Nox TX 850W

regards

[PolRec]

Well then I don't know why I would want 750W or the 850W from Urano. I also don't see the need for Crossfire, and I'm not going to be buying high-end graphics cards. In that case the Seasonic that you put before me would be better, right?

[ferelxyx]

if you are only going to use one graphic card, the Seasonic is the most advisable

you have to realize the marketing they do with things
750W for 50 euros, lie, it doesn't even give that power and that power supply is not safe
a good 600W power supply is more powerful, safe and efficient than the ones that put 750/850W
and they cost half the price of the good ones, but people who don't know or ask
they put power supplies that end up causing faults in the equipment

you realize what you said about the GS series of Corsair has more power for less price than the TX
but that series is no longer manufactured by Seasonic, it is manufactured by CWT, which is not bad either

[PolRec]

That's why I've been asking for help, I asked about Aerocool because they spoke very well of the Strike-X and they are recognized, however there are almost no reviews of the Templarius, and it seemed strange to me, that they try to sell them to us but it seems that they are not as recognized.

I already know cases of 600W power supplies for 30€, which with a very normal graphics card and not very power-hungry are already smoking and making unpleasant electrical noises.

Well then it seems that we have the clear candidates, the NOX then turn out to be good, right? Although if I could get it I would follow your advice about the 850W one, but since I don't need that many Watts and it is still more expensive than the Seasonic I will probably opt for the latter.

[ferelxyx]

or if you can wait a little for them to do a review of the aerocool imperator
to know if it is of the same quality as the Xtrike - X

note that the 650w is less powerful than the seasonic 620w

regards

[PolRec]

If the NOX is better, I don't think it's worth getting the Imperator for a fan with leds and 4 cables that I save, right?

Besides, I've been thinking about it for a while, and I didn't ask until I was ready to buy it.

PD: I've only seen reviews of the 1150W Imperator.

[ferelxyx]

well it's curious that the nox tx 850 is not worse than the aerocool imperator
the aerocools are pushing a lot the 80+ silver and gold thing, pure marketing
the corsair tx650w is better and safer than that aerocool and the tx750w you can see the difference in power
in all voltages, that's why it's more expensive, not because it's corsair

[PolRec]

So my best choice for quality/price with the budget ends up being the NOX 850?

I think I've already seen all the reviews from that source, and what I don't like about seeing reviews is that the conclusion is always good jajaja

[garfield]

Seasonic. They are a tank. I have one that I bought from krampak eons ago, and it still works like the first day. The voltages are like a rock. Moreover, a friend bought an 850w thermaltake and the equipment makes some incredible tricks, and we are going to test my power supply to see if we can fix the problem.

[Fassou]

Seasonic is one of the best brands, but it's clear that if you choose the right power supply, you save on health.

In my case, the Tagan TG480-U01 that I bought in 2004, a friend still has it working, whom I lent it to for a breakdown years ago, and having bought another one, he doesn't change it because it works so well, and it turns 9 this summer

Salu2!
