Power Supply EVGA 1000GQ or Super Flower Leadex 850 Platinum

[mukhlissaputro]

Hi, I'm looking for new Power Supply. I'm not gamer. But I want to make sure that my power supply is great for the future.

This is my computer:
-Intel i5 4460
- ECS Motherboard
- 4 drive 8TB
- 2x 4GB RAM
- VGA GTX1070 iGame X-Top
- 1DVD ROM


I need recomendation, is it better if I take EVGA 1000gq 80+ Gold Or Super Flower Leadex 850 Platinum with Lower Watt but better 80+ certification?

Thankyou.

With only one GTX 1070 in your system and no OC ability on your CPU then you don't need 850W of 1kW PSU. You'll do just fine with good 500W range PSU.

But if you want to have a solid PSU then i suggest you buy Seasonic PRIME 650 80+ Titanium PSU since it's the best 650W PSU money can buy at current date.

With Seasonic PRIME 80+ Titanium series, you'll get the highest efficiency (94%), tightest voltage regulation (0.5%), longest hold-up time (30ms), lowest ripple noise (20mV) and longest warranty (12 years) there is. Fully modular cables and toggle-able Premium Hybrid fan control too.

My Skylake build is also powered by PRIME 650 80+ Titanium PSU (full specs with pics in my sig).
Oh, all semi- and fully-modular Seasonic PSUs are also compatible with CableMod SE-series custom sleeved power cables. To match my Skylake's black & red theme and Haswell's black & blue theme, i have replaced the stock black power cables with CableMod SE-series custom sleeved power cables (red colored for Skylake and blue colored for Haswell).

So do you think 650watt can Power Up 4 x 8TB Drive and VGA ?

GTX 1070 is 150W GPU, add the rest of the system to it at about 200W (usually less) and total you're looking at would be 350W. Peak power during 8TB HDD read/write is about 6.5W. With 4 drives, it adds 26W to the total system consumption and at most, you're looking 375W of peak power of your system.

As i said above, even 500W range good build quality PSU is enough for such a system. But just to ease your mind, i suggested 650W PSU for your system.

With Seasonic PRIME 650 80+ Titanium PSU, you can even go as far as running 2x GTX 1070 in a 2-way SLI in your system if you like. But then you need to be careful with GPU/CPU OC so that you won't push your PSU way too hard. For GTX 1070 2-way SLI setup, 750W PSU is suggested. Unless you know exactly how much your system consumes so that you're safe using 650W unit.

Well superflower makes the Malin components for EVGA but EVGA makes modifcations to improve performance and Seasonic are really good making PSUs but if we are talking 150 $ range nothing comes close to EVGA SuperNOVA P2 750W platinum or titanium rated EVGA PSU´s is unmatched in performance its not fair to compare the GQ series PSU´s with Seasonic premium models but P2 or T2 series from EVGA is probably best PSUs on the market and it comes with a 10 year warranty defently my recommendation 96 to 98 % accurate power supply across the board its about 150 $

I didn't compare Seasonic PRIME series to the EVGA GQ series. I just suggested a great PSU to go with. You sound like an EVGA fanboy by stating such a thing.

Still, let's see how EVGA 750W P2 PSU stands up against PRIME 650 80+ Titanium and if it really is better as you say it is.

Since EVGA 750 T2 does cost more than $150, i won't include it to this comparison,

EVGA Supernova 750 P2: 1.6%

Ripple noise on full load (lower is better)
Seasonic PRIME 650 80+ Titanium: 6.2mV - 12.2mV
EVGA Supernova 750 P2: 9mV - 17.2mV

Hold-up time (higher is better)
Seasonic PRIME 650 80+ Titanium: 35.3ms
EVGA Supernova 750 P2: 22.1ms

While both PSUs are great units, Seasonic unit is a bit better. For an average consumer, the ripple noise, hold-up time and voltage regulation usually doesn't matter. What matters is the noise output and warranty length. And for some, efficiency too.

Fanboy no i cant afford to be one if its better I don’t care of any brand but I’ll digg up some reviews claiming EVGA has different values its based on personal experiences for me mostly and 12 years warranty from Seasonic must have been issued reacently ? From what iknow they recently upped to 10 years or 7 And ofc Seasonic has to counter with their own advantages took them 2 3 years though but I’ll post some other reviews for you soon with another test scores since there are other reviews more comprehensive and calling ppl fanboys left or right is pretty narrowminded and assumes that there are no facts behind posts on the forums i would personally make sure 90% of ur facts are correct .

I didn't say that you are a fanboy, i said that you sounded like one when you said that it's not fair for me to compare EVGA GQ series to Seasonic PRIME series, which in fact didn't happen.

I get that you like EVGA and want the 750W P2 and T2 units to be the best but sadly, there are better PSUs out there, Seasonic PRIME series being one of them.
