Noise. That is what I am interested in. That is also why I won't be leaving the parts list, since people like to tell you: "You don't even need that much power for that rig".
They both do a great job, so I am not interested in their performance. Between the two, the Corsair RMx & the EVGA G3, both 750W, which one is quieter?
From reading and researching through A LOT of tech forums, I found out that a big majority of people stated that the EVGA G3 is much much noisier (especially with the ECO mode on).
A few of the complaints I have gathered, If you feel like reading:
In the first complaint, one person wrote:
"The G3 is louder than the G2. Yes, the RMX is quieter than the G3",
while another one stated:
"I have a G3 and can’t hear the noise at all".
The second, third and other complaints follows basically the same pattern:
"I love EVGA but in my experience as well, their power supplies can be noisy. I had very similar loud noise issues with the fan cranking up to high RPMs with ECO mode to the point where it became very annoying so I switched to the Corsair PSU I have in my rig".
"I have the 850W G3, and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. Eco Mode is useless - as stated by others, it's silent for 10 minutes or so, then the fan kicks in at a VERY high speed/noise level. And this is idling in Windows".
"Tom's Hardware just came out with their 1000W review, so you can judge for yourself.
Unfortunately, the take-home message, using their testing methodology, is that it's not quiet. =(".
"Eco mode off solves that, but the fan speed in non-eco mode is fast enough to be quite audible. It is easily the loudest thing in my case (given that my GPU is water-cooled)".
You get the point.
As a tiny side note, in the The Updated 2019. PSU Tier List RMX was put in the Tier 1, while G3 got placed with the Tier 2 PSUs. Thoughts? As said, they are both great and noise is basically what I am interested in, but still.
Cheers.
