Are these 2 cards the same?

[George002000]

Hello there it's my birthday in 11 days and i want to get a GTX 780 but i came across two and i just want to ask you are they both the same and if not what's the differents?

I'm using 1 GTX 780, But i want to over clock it and i want to over clock my CPU

Here is a Link from www.amazon.com/uk for a Corsair AX860i Which is a Fantastic PSU.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Professional-Series-Modular-Platinum/dp/B00A74X9RU/ref=sr_1_14?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1404931127&sr=1-14&keywords=PC+Power+Supplies
That's 142 Uk whick equals $243 USD Whick is a pretty good price!!!!
I just looked at Newegg's UK site and they Only have 17 PSU's for sale...That's all!!!
So I would look on www.amazon.com/uk for a good PSU. I did check for a Seasonic and they only have 2 400 Watt PSU's
Now If you do go with a Corsair AXi Series PSU, you also get the Link Software to monitorYour whole system. If your going to Water Cool your CPU, you can use an H100i, and Corsir Ram to connect all of it to This Link Software
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/categories/link
Some people say it's not that great, but It works Great for Me!!!

So I'm Bowing out Best of Luck to You with your Build.

Yeah, I did make a mistake with the Link for the AX760i.....Sorry bout that.
If you were to get the AX860i, you would pay $100 dollars less than we would over her, n to me Thqt is a really good deal.
Best of Luck with Your Build Budd!!! Peace
Lefty/Joe

Hey George....Here is a Kickass PSU for a decent price
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Professional-Series-Modular-Platinum/dp/B00A0HZMEM/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1404779731&sr=8-15&keywords=power+supplies
Corsair AX760i
And for a few bucks more you can get the AX860I
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Professional-Digital-Modular-Platinum/dp/B00A0HZNDW/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1404779844&sr=8-8&keywords=power+supplies
Corsair AX860i
Im my Opininion, Corsair makes the Best PSU's even though certain models are made by Seasonic, which you Definitely can't go wrong with!!! And tha Pices on Either of these are Good Prices!!!!

Literally none of this makes any sense-

• 
  ■ He is a UK buyer, so models/pricing in dollars isn't very helpful or relevant.
  ■ The first model you linked is the AX760, not the AX760i, entirely different units.
  ■ $160 isn't a decent price when you can get a quality modular unit for <$100.
  ■ In the UK these PSUs retail at £120-150, and you can get models which are arguably superior for ~£80-90.
  ■ Corsair do not make ANY PSUs, they sell models made by a variety of OEMs, and because of that you can't guarantee any kind of consistency across their range. They have some great models and some pretty poor-average ones.
  ■ Very few Corsair PSUs are made by Seasonic. In the past there was a higher number, but of currently available models it is only the HX650, AX760 and AX860 which have a Seasonic OEM, and I think that all three of these are probably reaching EOL.
  ■ I personally wouldn't buy anything in the Corsair PSU range right now. At the bottom end of the market the CX range offer pretty great value if you are on a tiny budget, but otherwise there is usually a better option at a better or similar price.

This is a Reply to Rammy's email I got!!!

Rammy, your Correct on the fact that the AX1200/1200i are Flextronics built, the AX650-860 are Seasonic built, and the HX series is now CWT built except for the HX 650 which is Seasonic, so don't knock on rebranded units, sometimes they are a better value than the manufacturer's.
As far as him being in the UK, The pay 58 cents to our US Dollar, so they get better deals all around. Another thing is that most of their PSU's are Run with 220 Watts......I Think??? If so, I'd Love to buy it from over there, and setup my build with all 220 components. I'd save quite few bucks. I have 2 Desktops Running and 3 Laptops.
If I could have bought them from England and they all run on 220, shit I'd save about$100 a month on my electric bill, lol
And don't knock corsair. They give you a 7 year Warranty which is pretty dam good!! SS Warr is only 5 years.
You also get the Link Software...........I know, It's not the best but it's not that bad.
In my Build I'm doing now, I was gonna use 2 Seasonic SS-1250XM X-Series 1250W Modular Power Supply (PSU) 80+ GOLD, But I have 27 fans to monitor and the link Commander can handle that...as well as other softare can, but I went with the AX1500i and the AX1200i.
I'm using 2 PSU's because I'm running my My MB off the 1500 Watt with 2 EVGA GTX Titan Z crds which run at 48 V per card, so If I decide to put in a 3rd, I'd need more power.
Cause I'm running 2 loops with Monsoon Series2 Res/Pump mood kits with Alphhacool VPP655 Pumps
2 480 Rads in p/p 1 360 rad in p/p, so that's 22 fas, the in the front of my case I have 4 more fans holes and 1 more 120mm for the front of my HD cage but I'm Only running 3 1TB EVO's and an AOG RAIDR 240 Gig PCIE card, I'm not sure what V that pulls of the 12V Rail??? On the AX1500i the 12v Rail puts out 125 Volts lol.
If your wondering where I'm putting all these components, here is the case
http://www.caselabs-store.com/magnum-th10a/ & here is the Bottom Pedestal
http://www.caselabs-store.com/pedestal-extended/
What's so Great about these cases , is the fact that the MB Tray is Removable and can b used as a workstation.
Also, This will most likely my Last build, So if the MB's keep putting the CPU' in the same place, I'll be able to Disconnect my Grapic cards and slide out the tray, With the new Mobo's, if they keep the CPU in the same place, I can slide it back in and just hook up my loops, and there ya go.....a NEW PC!!!
Dude, if you get a chance , Look at these 2 cases..there Crazzzzzzy Insane, 1 hold 2 MB's with 4 PSU's and tehe other holds 1 MB with 3 PSU's
http://www.caselabs-store.com/the-magnum-tx10/
Have a Great Day Bro!!!
I'm changing my name to Overkill Lmao

 

[sora]

Ok and one more thing i need some help on Do you know a good PSU i need a 750 watt one

Anything from XFX or Seasonic is great since they both manufacture the best quality power supplies in my opinion.

@ Lefty666 -

I'm not sure you understand how exchange rates work. Prices in the US are significantly lower than in the UK, mainly due to taxes, but also due to things like discounts+rebates which are more prevalent across the pond.
Random example - GTX780 - US price $450, UK Price - £340 ($580). i5-4570K - US price $220, UK price £156 - $267.
Depending on the item, you are looking at around 20-30% extra.

I think you are also confusing international voltages. Here's a link. Most of the world runs in the 200-240V range, the UK uses 230V 50Hz. Traditionally PSUs might have had a switch for 115V and 230V crossover, but most of them do it down automatically so are pretty universally compatible, the only exception I can think of being the Corsair VS series which are only sold in areas which use the higher voltage as they aren't compatible with 115V. There are small gains to be made running on a higher voltage, which is why the 80Plus efficiency standard is higher for 230V than it is for 115V, I'm no expert but I'd assume this is related to static losses from components like Diodes (0.7V) which are a smaller percentage to a higher voltage. You'd have to be spending thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of dollars per month on electricity before you started to notice the difference.

You also seem very confused about the difference between watts and volts, and how many of either you actually need. Assuming you are running two GTX Titan Z, you only need a single PSU, and adding a third would make absolutely no sense for anything other than mining/processing, as diminishing returns from 6-way SLI (effectively) will add near to nothing.

I maintain Corsair currently only sell three Seasonic made units - the HX650, AX760 and AX860 - so suggesting that a lot of their models are Seasonic made is a bit misleading.
Equally so is suggesting that they offer a 7year warranty. On a lot of their mainstream PSUs, they only offer 3 years, which is often below their competition.

I also wouldn't knock rebranded units. I personally own an XFX unit (made by Seasonic) which has arguably been the best entry level PSU on the market for the last few years. XFX are a great PSU brand because they use a single, highly respected, OEM, meaning you can basically recommend anything they make. It's an awful lot easier than saying "some Antec, some Corsair, some EVGA, some Rosewill, some NZXT" etc, as naming conventions make it incredibly confusing.

I'm not bashing Corsair, but I do think it's important to make clear that Corsair is not a buzzword for quality/consistency. They have some excellent products - some of their cases, fans and high end PSUs are very good quality, but these often come in at a price premium which makes them a little questionable as "must-buys". That's why I say that I wouldn't buy much of theirs, not because I don't like their brand/products, but because there is usually a credible alternative at a better price.

Hey Rammy,

Thanks for str8ening me out on th echange Policy, not the rates. Acoording to the Echange Rate of the US Dollar To The British Sterlin Pound is US is $0.58 Cent to 1 British Pound.
Or Are they using Euro's??? Which is a diff story!!
OK I just read what you wrote again and now I got you!!! They are charging More than they charge here, so the Diff in the Exchange rate doesn't really matter if they're charging 20-30% more for the same products we are getting. Correct?

And hahaha I'm a Union Electrician and u just blew me away. lol I knew that in the US when we say it run's a 100 ,it's stepped down from 120, the same fro 200 , it's 240. So maybe that's WHERE I GOT CONFUSED.SHIT SORRY CAPS
Also in the US Commercial side of electric, with the 240 V we, Run 208 and 277, which are not in homes atall. Them V's are for exit signs, some fan motors , things like that.
So, 230V to me, is weird, because like I said we usually step it down to 220 and most of our electronics can fluxuate up n down which is not good for our electronic devices at all!!! Tha's why they sell Power Conditioners, Voltage Regulators. Because if whatever is supposed to run at 110 and it drops down to 107, it can do a lot of diff things to certain units,,,,,,,,,,as I think you know!!! Your right on and know ur shit!!! Which is refreshing!!!! So TY fr str8ening me out on that. I thought they ran 220, not 230.
As far as the PSU's. I know that The AX 1200i was made by Flextronics or is it Plextronics, and a few units are made by SS, and so on.
I know Exactly what you mean how certain co's have a Specialty. Meaning they're known for their Memory.......then to get in on the rest of te Products on the Market, they will put out PSU"s GPU"s and so on.
And Dude.....Cmon lol....I'm not an idiot (Completely anyway lol), but I'm putting in 2 PSU's no way 3
although ther are cases that actualy have 3 PSU slots for example
http://www.caselabs-store.com/magnum-tx10-v/
I mean Cmon......Why???
OK I am guilty of using 2 PSU's, I plan on using 1 ffor my main Board and the PWN Fans, & GPU's, and by the way, I just watched a vid on the GTX Titan Z. The guys eviewing it say your better off buying 2 78o TI's or 2 Titan Blacks . You'll get better performace ans save over a Thousand Bucks. So I'm stil doing research B4 making a Huge Mistake!!
The 2nd PSU is going to power my 2 Loops and all the rest of my fans. OK Granted it may be Overkill, but This is the Build I've Always wanted to Build. And with my health, this will most likely be my last Personal Build. I'll still take orders and build for friends. But I plan on having 2 480's and a 360 all in p/p. That rite ther is 22 fans. Then on the PSU side of the case, there is room for 4 more fans in the fron n 1 in the rear........so that's 27 fans lol........I know it's Crazzzy, but, I'm building it!!! The Good thing about this case I'm using http://www.caselabs-store.com/magnum-th10a/ &
http://www.caselabs-store.com/pedestal-extended/
It's My Dream Build! I mean if you look at the case it's nothing special, but what I like about it is the fact that you can have your system run for 5 years, and as long as they don't totally change where the Processor and the GPU's go, I'll b able to just undo al the water hookups, slide out the MB Tray, chang the Chip ( Put a new Proc in a new MB), Slide back in, n just hook up the loops. Hopefully without having to repipe it too much lol, especially since I'm using Rigid Acrylic lol.
So, I just want to get 2 more builds in ten years time....then I can leave it to my Son n he can do whatever he wants with it!!! It just seems the way to go for me. I'm still picking out parts, watching and reading on ALOT of products, and I agree wiit you that each company has a specialty, but they want in on ALL the products on the market. Even if they don't make it, they can slap their name on it and it will sell.......just because of the name.

You seem like a Really Nice Guy!!!! And it was a Pleasure getting this email from you!!!
Just as a fact of what we are talking about.......u c all the typo's.......well I'm using a Corsair K50 Raptor Keyboard, and I wanna tie it to my boat hitch n drag it around town lol.......every f in key sticks!!!!!
So there you go, just because a companies name is on it, doesn't mean it's the best!!!
Hey Please keep in touch??? I could really use a kick in the ass sometimes and I'd like to go over my parts list with you n let me know what you think. Please? I would Really Appreciate it Very Much!!!
I'm actually about to take apart my case and I'm lining it with 3 diff Diamond Plate Stick on stuff. I'm Liing the back with a Gunmetal DP, The MB Tray I'm using Chrome DP. and I have some Red left over from a build I just did for a friend
that I'm gona use on the bottom plates. They used to sell a quad cover for the bottom leading into the Pedstal, n it had 4 3/4 holes with Rubber Grommets. Well of coarse with my luck, they don't have the holes in it anymore????
And I need the holes to bring the flextube up , so I have to drill out the 4 holes n Amazon has a ton of grommet kits, so I have some work to do.
But TY for letting me know I was wrong. I mean if they ( Over the pond) could get their prts at the EX Rate of 58 cents to a pond, they could build a PC for half the price we pay!
Here is a link I think you'll like about how to find out who mfct ur PSU.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/psu-manufacturer-oem,2729.html
I think on page 4 is where he shows you how to fig out who made it!!! Great talkin to ya! Hope to talk again!!!

speed limit was 35. I heard her rip it out Over the curb, they put it there so u Can't turn left. Well she did and when everyone blew theyre horns at her, she floored it to get away from them.......se even lost a hubcap when she went over the curb lol............well I'm a 1/4 mile or less away, n c all this shit go down. The only reason I could even hear ger was cause I was just luggin in 4th just to get home.................all of a sudden she rip the fuckin wheel at me. I was just about 20 yards from the entrance to Kmart, well she rips the wheel to get to Kmart b4 they close.........it was already 5 to 6 n they wouldn't have let her in anayway. Well th ecurbs are about a foot tall so I couldn't jump the curb I couldn't stop I woulda slid rt into her, so I downshifted to 3rd n hit it but I didn't make it. I tried to get up on my rt ft peg and sling over the seat but didn't do it fast enough and Boom............I woke up 4 days later , looke down and had no leg from midcalf dokwn. Also hy femur snapped in 7 places, so they couldn't reair it, so they replaced it with a titanium rod, but they had to break my hip to grind down the socket so the ball on the rod would fit. I have2 herniated bulging discs and 1 fractured disc in my back. and My c34&5 are al l fuccked....I can hardly turn my head.
ZWell when I woke up, I looked dow n saw where they cut the leg off n said to my wife............well I guess we hit the pick it.........yeah the fuckin pick 4
The bitch had No insurance, No Registartion and NO LICENSE!!!
I got $90 garnd fo my own insurance co.....yeah that's it. se got tickets n was let go.
O yeah. I lost 11 teeth so my dent said there was Nothing he coul do........so he pulled them all. They made me fake ones, but I felt like a horse lmao I never ever wore them again. I got an estimaye for implants..............$140 Grand
Dud, I was makin %130Grand a year. We were just about to buy a second ouse down in the Florida Keys............we had to scarp that......................Te financial hit is killin me worse than the pain.

My DR sad , u know Joe tat tese drugs your taking is probably gonna take 10 years off your life .easily........I said, well Id rathe die at 60 in no pin the live to 70 in agony.
Well im in agony anywat from the rheumatoid arthritis..........I'm all fucked up!!!!!
Well I was on a scuba diving boat with 2 friends and my son, n they were askin our names for a roll call, so I just said........Lefty...My buds n son looked at my like wtf

I have an H105 and I am using my friend's Ripjaws X RAM (not low profile by any means with its heatsink) and I don't have any issues. I will be getting Trident X 2400/2600 MHz RAM soon and those are even larger.
