Hi, I'm building a new PC with the objective of gaming at 1440p / 144 hz with ultra settings. My secondary objective is quite/ silent operation and as cool as possible temps on air (I have no interest in water cooling but will consider hybrids.) I've picked out the following parts and need...

Thanks everyone. I've gone for the 750w G3 to give me the option for future sli. It seems the safest bet. This is all stemming from an RMA on a XFX XT600. That thing sounded like a 747 taking off and kicked a mad amount of hot air out.

Confusingly, for the 650w version, they offer three different units, all gold rated? Which would be the one of choice: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 650W Modular 80+ Gold PSU Modular Cable System • 9 SATA Connectors • 4 PCI-E Connectors • 80 Plus Gold subtract £27.13 EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3 650W...

Thanks guys My thinking behind the 750 is that it gives me room to sli another ti in the future. Also, won't I be more likely to keep temperature s lower by using a lower percentage threshold of power, keeping the fan speed and sound down? Or am I talking nonsense?

Hi I've got 2 hours to decide between the PSUs below for my gaming rig, I'm running a 7700k processor and a 1080ti. Noise levels are a big factor for me and I expect the rig to get relatively warm in terms of ambient temperature. I appreciate any help: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B2 750W Modular...

Also, could that bios update have caused issues?

Cpu is 7700k intel Main board is an asus strix z270h gaming. 32 gig of Corsair ram Ssd 3 gig 7200 rpm drive Total power draw is around 480.

It's a xfx xt600 bronze rated power supply. I updated the bios but I used Asus ezupdate in windows to perform the update.

Just got my new PC and have been monitoring its performance in MSI afterburner whilst gaming. The card is a gigabyte 1080ti I've been playing Battlegrounds and Total War Warhammer this afternoon, both with maxed out settings and have been seeing Power % at 100-105% GPU usage at a steady...
