Poer Supply 80+ Gold

[PolanaMaster]

Hello everyone I wanted to purchase a power supply (80+ Bronze) but then I noticed that there is another power supply which is 80+ Gold and it's only £10 more expensive and it's from Corsair. It states that it is "Factory refurbished". Do any of you guys know what it means and if I should purchase this PSU?

Thanks for answering .

I don't pay much attention to Bronze, Silver , Gold..... Basically Gold means you might save $5 a year on ya electric bill and that's about it. Pay more attention to voltage stability, ripple and quality of components


I wouldn't be comfy with refurbished and I wouldn't look at Corsair unless it says HX 650 750 850 or AXi something on it.

Well the refurbished psu is Corsair AX 750w 80+ Gold. Why wouldn't you be comfy with refurbished psu? What's wrong with it?

I dunno what was wrong with it, the guy who returned it does tho

So do you think I should go with it? It's from scan. They give one year warranty on it.

I wouldn't purchase a refurb.

Get a new one.

Previously I wanted to buy EVGA 750w B instead of B2. Why do you think I should go with B2?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

The B2 , G2 , P2 , T2 are the good models all made by the best Super Flower.

Will I be able to run GTX 970 SLI on it?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes you can no problem.
