i need to know to day!!! CORSAIR TX850M VS. RAIDMAX RX-850AE

[frogsot]

Hello im about to order the MB and the SSD, but i noticed another PSU on sale but i don't know if the brand is any good it had mostly good review. its 55 dollors cheaper then the Corsair and seems to have the same if not better designs as well.
Can some one tell me which to get or recommend another one since im not ready to build the rig just yet? However I need to know to deal cause the coupon expires today on the raidmax.

Actually, 750W is sufficient to Crossfire a pair of HD7970s. I had one bitmining a few weeks ago, and that system (with the GPU running flat out) used only around 320W from the wall.

You sure? the sites info states the min is 850 for crosfire? plus im gonna have 3 slots for g cards so im at lest gonna have room for 3 any way

I had the card overclocked to 1130MHz. While the CPU was not busy, working it [hard] too might have added another 50W. Add another 300W for a second graphics card (also hauling tail), and you're still under 700W.

Friends don't let friends buy Raidmax PSUs.

LOL - +1

If you're buliding a Ferrari, why go to Walmart for the tires?

I've been following this thread all day, and not to be mean or critical, have you NOT been paying attention!
FORGET THE RAIDMAX
Toyftw is right, you have a "Ferrari" for your new computer, are you now going to stick a 4 cylinder carbureted 1980's engine in it!
Or do you want the V-12 injected engine.

One last thing. Once you have ordered everything and are through with this thread, be sure to choose a Best Answer (don't choose mine, others have contributed wayyyy more) so that other forum members know it is closed.
Build that Ferrari and Game On!

yea i already had dropped the raidmax cause the only thing i needed to know if if was any good. my first choice is the corsair and i figured it was the best choice but just in case i had to ask. and how am i gonna pick someone as the best solution when so many people had contributed each with important info???? its just not fair to give only one credit.

Thanks for the B.A.; while accurate it probably scored more "points" for humor than it deserved. I hope you don't mind, but I switched it to ko888 if only for the very valid points about the warranty and about Haswell support.

Although that particular CM is made by Seasonic (they've finally learned their lesson, it seems), CM is still selling many units possessing liar labels and/or claiming to have overcurrent protection found to be missing in competent technical reviews. Even if you can excuse the liar-labels as exaggeration (I don't, because engineering analysis shows "not even on a good day"), the claims over missing circuits are dangerously dishonest, and I will neither recommend nor buy the products of a dishonest business.
