Consult silent and stable source

[Fassou]

The 650W would be enough for the initial setup and for adding more devices, although if you add another graphics card it will probably not be enough, but its price is not reasonable. Do you accept €140 for a 650W and €155 for an 850W? Is that too much?

About the Tacens, many people in this forum have had them and they usually don't last very long, I wouldn't say they are low-end, but they are usually cheaper for a reason. And their other products, especially cooling, are also usually too cheap in terms of finishes, for the prices they have.

About the Corsair, the TX has Japanese capacitors and the Gaming series in the power supplies, they usually indicate models aimed at aesthetics, with some high-end details like detachable cables, but their interiors can be compared to the normal ones that cost €10-15 less.

See you later!

Thank you very much for your advice Fassou. The truth is that I don't know if the noise peak of the 850w of almost 26dbA is much or not... I don't know "how much" that noise is.... that's why I didn't know if it was worth paying 140 for the 650w one, which stays at 16,5dbA. The real issue is that I can't imagine "how much noise" 16,5 and 26 dbA are. Maybe you can give me an example about that.

If I didn't do SLI, would the 650w be enough for several hard drives and another graphics card as a replacement, more powerful?

In the area of complete configurations I have left a thread with the complete assembly that I have in mind. You can take a look if you feel like it. The truth is that I am very green in these matters.

Thanks again and regards.

650 will not be enough if you have a K that "asks for OC" and will consume 200W instead of 150. Then a 570 consumes just under 250W and yours with OC will be just over 250. The 3 components will not be at 100% at the same time but if we add the rest of the components and give some margin to the power supply, I would look for at least 750W.

The Be Quiet looking for silence is very good but the Corsair AX 750 (same price as the P9 850) seems like a better power supply to me. It doesn't have a fan that's as good but it's also quiet and has a shutdown function.

If you don't have enough money, get the TX 750, some come out noisy but generally they are quiet. When you push SLI, it will probably make noise but then again, you will also have the rest of the fans at full blast and the sound of the game.

Well, now I am among those that you have advised me:

-Be Quiet Dark Power P9 Pro 850W…........ 155€
-Corsair AX 750w..................................... 154€
-Corsair TX V2 850w................................ 113€

Obione, if the Corsair AX is better, I would like you to tell me why, because I am new to these parts. And another thing, which one is the quietest?

On the other hand, apart from the fact that the TX is not modular, does it have any other difference with the AX in terms of performance or noise?

Thanks again and goodbye.

It is more efficient and the less loss the less heat. It has a 7-year warranty, turns off the fan under load, more reliable and stable… It is peeled but of course, you want silence and watts galore, and you can't have everything : giggles:

[Fassou]

The AX that Obione recommends is a pretty nice high-end power supply, although on its website Corsair admits that it reaches ~37dB at full load. The TX, although it is already a good power supply, only reaches 80Bronze against the 80Gold of the other two. If you want to save some money, buy the TX, otherwise any power supply with a recognized brand's 80Gold seal, although cheap ones are not. Salu2! PD: The GTXs will not be quiet either when you give them some juice.

[tigre_est]

I will then stay with the Corsair AX or the Be Quiet.

It all depends on which one you tell me is quieter... because both are 80 gold.

Greetings.

The thing is that the SilentWings fan that Be Quiet mounts is one of the best on the market at low RPM and it's not very noisy at high RPM either. If your priority is silence, get the Be Quiet.

@Obione:

Man, the SilentWings fan that Be Quiet mounts is the best on the market at low RPM and at high RPM it's not very noisy either. If silence is the priority, get the Be Quiet.

So, in what is the AX better?… because both are 80+ gold.

Regards.

[tigre_est]

The question is sincere :verguen:, I would like you to guide me on why the AX is more expensive, if the BeQuiet is quieter and has the same certification.

I hope to learn little by little from you.

Thanks and regards.
