Question PC build Help

[HashOnPC]

Hi,
I'm building a pc and I've left only a power supply to choose and if somebody can help me to decide which one would be better for my system and only those models Seasonic vertex GX 1200 or Silverstone HELA 1200R.
My components are:
Intel core I9 13900KS
Z790 aorus master
RTX 4090 AOURUS MASTER
4x16 Ddr5 7600mhz Teamgroup
T700 crucial
Samsung 990 pro
Deepcool LT720.
TNX everyone for the help(This is my dream PC and I know I spend a lot on it) .

It depends on what you prefer.

The Silverstone has better performance based on Aris reviews, but the Seasonic is quieter. Both have great performance so if noise level is important to you then go with the Seasonic. If better performance is more important to you because you'll usually be wearing headphones or have the speakers cranked up, then go with the Silverstone. Or, go with whichever one is less expensive because they are both excellent power supplies and you can't really go wrong with either one of them.

You can find the best reviews of these units here:

Hi,
can you explain to me about the performance of the Silverstone I just to be sure I read those articles but could not find the solid answer that why I jumped to forums for a good advice.
thank you for the help.

I would recommend getting a 2X32 GB set if you need 64GB of memory.
4 sticks adds more stress on the memory controller and your probably not going to get 4 sticks stable at that speed and probably not even just 2 sticks.

I agree. 2 x32GB would be a much better option and far more likely to actually work at the advertised speed. With four DIMMs, you are probably going to have to do some tweaking and still might not reach the advertised speed, although admittedly it will probably be much easier on this Intel platform than it would be if it were a Ryzen based system.

tnx but I already bought them.

Like I said, it doesn't really matter. Both are superior power supplies. Aris seems to believe that the CWT platform used on the Silverstone, and a few other PSU models out there, is slightly superior. So, if Aris thinks this is the case, then it is likely the case because he is almost never wrong on anything that has to do with power supplies. All the information is there in the two reviews. If you don't understand what you are reading when you look at the review then I certainly can't explain it to you in a way that is going to make it clearer for you. If in doubt, look at the bullet points in the overall summary at the end of each review. Personally, I'd probably go with the Seasonic but I would also have no problem choosing the Silverstone if it was less expensive.

 

[Darkbreeze]

tnx but I already bought them.

Then I'd return them and buy a 64GB kit with only two DIMMs in it. I mean, you can TRY them to see if they will run at XMP values, and they might very well do so, but it's definitely going to be more stressful on the memory controller, which means it could, potentially, create other problems for you in terms of stability. But if returning them isn't an option then I guess you'll figure it out one way or the other.

 

[HashOnPC]

can't its from amazon and i bought it 4 month ago.
And tnx I'll go with the Silverstone HELA 1200R . and its less expensive(236.89$) then the Seasonic(289.99$)

 

[Darkbreeze]

Well, that's too bad, but it is what it is. Looks like you'll just have to cross your fingers that works at the advertised XMP profile speed and timings, if not, we can try to help you tweak the settings to get it to work. Just a bit more work, if it works.

Being Teamgroup that is hit or miss, even for it just to work with a given board. Fortunately, Intel platforms are a lot more forgiving than Ryzen platforms when it comes to memory configurations.

 

[HashOnPC]

TNX I'll see but I still need to order the PSU to look if it will work
another question since I see you have some knowledge, about a monitor I play games like valorant squad MW2 CS and will play many more with the computer which can you recommend me to buy because I looked for 1440p 240hz think its enough the two I looked are the benq ex270qm or the gigabyte m27Q-X if I remember they are both Nvidia compatible .(and If I need to change forum I'll do it)

 

[Darkbreeze]

No need to change forum. You are already here and have questions, so it's not a problem.

What country are you in?

 

[HashOnPC]

I'm from Israel and that why most of the components are from amazon except the motherboard CPU RAM and the new T700 crucial. And I've contacted both companies (Seasonic And Silverstone) to be sure first of all about the AC cord because we have a different one here and In amazon its for US outlet so I was afraid that it might harm my computer if I will not use the original AC cord but they say its okay.
the benq is not yet in my country but there is a company that making delivery from US. and also I thought about the 32 inch of LG the Ultragear 32GQ850-B 240(260 OC).

and for the ram issue what do you think about this video:

[Darkbreeze]

Personally, I'd recommend the LG panel before the other two. The BenQ has gamma issues, and cannot be calibrated to standard gamma settings since BenQ has chosen to incorporate their own "idea" of what gamma should be set to (But other than this, it's an excellent monitor) and it does not have G-sync but it does have G-sync compatible Freesync.

The Gigabyte panel has some contrast issues, so if you are very picky about black colors being black, rather than some shade of dark gray, this might be an issue. This would be especially obvious if you tend to game or watch video in low light or dark situations, and less likely to bother you if you are normally using it in a very well lit room. Regardless, I don't like blacks that are gray. For me, it's a deal breaker, but it's also not uncommon on IPS panels. For this reason I tend to gravitate more towards VA panels, which these days look every bit as good in most cases aside from very expensive models, as most IPS panels, but generally have much better contrast and very good response times.

For me, the bottom line is that I like the LG panels, in general, better than most of the competition out there. LG has become a leader when it comes to displays and if we're being honest I'll say that I currently have three identical LG 1440p panels and have had them all for about five years with zero issues. Every BenQ display I've bought has died or started having problems almost immediately after the one year warranty expired. That's like three different models.

I've never owned a Gigabyte display, but the reviews of that one are pretty good other than the contrast issues causing problems with black uniformity. It has a few other small issues as well, but everything has some kind of issue. I have never seen a "perfect" monitor yet, although I'm sure there are some out there that come really close especially with some of the newer technologies.

My preference would be for the LG but the Gigabyte is also a good option if having uniform black colors that are deep black and not gray isn't a huge issue for you.

Maybe consider going with whichever is less expensive AND you might also want to consider whether either of them has a closer warranty return center than the other in the event you should have a problem. That alone, the convenience of not having to send it back overseas, might be an important consideration.

I'm really grateful for all your support you helped me a lot and if I have questions I know the right forum.
Last thing can you tell me if the video I sent will help with the issue of having 4 sticks of RAM.

 

[Darkbreeze]

It might, it might not. Every memory module and motherboard/CPU combination will be different with different problems (Or lack of them) and solutions.

The most important thing, generally, is that you try to stick to only two DIMMs if possible to achieve the total amount of memory capacity you want to run, and to make sure that all the memory comes together in ONE kit, not multiple kits, even if they are the same model. Aside from that, it's a case by case basis. Make sure your board has the MOST up to date BIOS installed, even if you have to only run two DIMMs at first in order to be stable enough to make that happen, and then beyond that it will either work or some tweaking might be necessary.

Some good basic information here though that could be useful to you.

How To - Troubleshooting problems with PC memory (RAM) and XMP profile configurations

In the beginning, there was......BIOS Before you go ANY further, go to the manufacturer product page for your specific motherboard model AND revision. Revision is an important aspect because for any given motherboard there may be more than one version of that model which will be identified...
