Corsair HX1000 or ThermalTake 850W?

[iai29081]

Of these two what is the better choice ?
Corsair HX 1000W Modular Power Supply w/ Dual +12V
THERMALTAKE Toughpower 850W Modular Power Supply

the 150w isnt too important for me.

Corsair HX1000 - one of the best PSU around, NO DOUBTS !

Corsair is one of the best units around... but why do you need so much power?

 

[iai29081]

I intend to SLI the GTX295 when it comes out. just need something that could power that.

but the corsair is better than the thermaltake in every way right ?

 

[rangers]

considering they are both made by the same company

 

[iai29081]

why is it so much cheaper ?

I have dismantled them both, Corsair is a better build, solid capacitors made in Japan, better components overall. I do recommend this PSU to anyone who want to build a QUALITY computer. It's definitely a PSU you can rely on.

Go with either Corsair or PC Power and Cooling IMHO. You can't go wrong either way. Between the two you mentioned, the HX1000W is definitely the way to go though.
