Corsair TX750 V2 vs V1

[Arlen10]

What are the differences between V2 and V1?

 

[delluser1]

V2 :
Higher efficiency rating
Higher 12v output
Made by Seasonic rather than CWT

V2 :

Could a V1 run two GTX 460 in SLI mode efficiently?

+1 i wouldn't buy v1 just because it's made by CWT and they don't make great PSU imo

^ Shows your noob
The CWT built TX550 and 750 are two of the reasons that Corsair got it's reputation for providing quality power supplies

nothing is wrong with CWT but Seasonic>Flextronics>Enermax>Enhance>Superflower>all others.
so it is better to go with TXxxx "V2"

 

[hellfire24]

if you have no clue to what you are talking about then don't post your opinion.

owned!

I am not going to argue and i know what i am talking about and will post my opinion all i want.

 

[bigcyco1]

seasonic made antec HCG 620w modular vs CWT made Adata 650w modular

the adata has better regulation on the 12v rail (powers non-important things in a gaming PC like your CPU, HDD, and GPU)

http://tpucdn.com/reviews/Antec/HCG-620M/images/regulation_12v.gif

and the antec's 5v fails a crossload test while the Adata passes
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Antec/HCG-620M/5.html

is the antec a bad PSU? no, it's a very good PSU. is the Adata better? more or the less the same PSU with minor differences that no user would see. My point? it doesn't matter who makes the PSU. what matters is how well it is made.

You got me there point noted.

 

[bigcyco1]

Feel free to correct me if i am wrong but As much as the power (Watts) requirement matters, the current requirement, measured in Amps is as important if not even more important. This is especially true if you have a or several dedicated video card(s). As a general rule of thumb, you’re aiming for the highest number on the 12V line.

 

[bigcyco1]

thank you, no you don't, i pity people looking for help

Your opinion which your entitled to as i am 😉

 

[bigcyco1]

that you are and one word of advice. delluser has probably forgotten more about PSU then most of us will ever learn. he knows his stuff.

Advice noted.

@ct1615 and recon-uk
i guess the guy has realized his mistake.let's leave him 😉
BTW,both of you got great sigs.

 

[Arlen10]

Okay, so here's what I got, the TX750 V1 is a good power supply, but it's worth it to make the jump to the V2.

Unless you find the V1 for 20-30 bucks less

 

[Arlen10]

Unless you find the V1 for 20-30 bucks less

I found a used one for $50....

That depends on if you trust the seller

 

[Arlen10]

They said they pulled it from a previous build, and there is like 30 day warranty thing.

 

[Rugger]

+1 to Dell; it's definitely not worth it to make the jump if you already own the V1.
