Modular means all of the cables are detachable and you only put in what you need, semi-modular means the essential ones (24Pin ATX, a single PCIe, 8Pin CPU, SATA Power, etc) are built in and cannot be removed but some of the others can still be detached. Modular is more expensive but more flexible, particularly is you have...


So if i get lets say 650w Gold would be better than 700w bronze?
 


i can get Cooler master V650 / Gold with almost the same amount of money. do you think it´s better?
 


Definitely yes, Coolermaster V series are very good PSUs.
 


Pardon my hijacking of the thread but how do you know if you should get a semi vs full modular power supply when speccing a new PC build?

Thanks.

 


Didn´t understand i mean i´m just asking what can be better for my pc.

Modular is more expensive but more flexible, particularly is you have limited space, can't abide loose cables or need really good airflow.
