Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650W Titanium - Anyone have experience with it?

[rcald2000]

When it comes to power supplies, I'm an EVGA man. However I read a great JonnyGuru review of this Seasonic model, which is contrasted with NewEgg customer reviews stating less than stellar things about it. I'm seeking the advice of my fellow Tom community members. Any input would be appreciated. My specs are in my signature.

I have it it is an excellent PSU. I just sold and replaced it with a Prime Ultra 750 though as my Vega 64 is a power hog and was causing the 650 to hit OCP. Your system won't draw the power mine does because of that GPU.

That said I was consistently drawing over 700w from it on spikes with no problems. Voltages were rock solid all the time. If thats not a mark of a good PSU I don't know what is. Newegg customer reviews are written by idiots.

Rogue Leader I'm blown away by your story and thank you for your input. For single high-end Nvidia GPU's I like 650 watts. For SLI setups I like 850 or 1,000 watt PSUs. Is your Vega 64 an air or water cooled variant? FYI: I couldn't locate your GPU under your gaming pc pcpartpicker list.

Its in there its all the way at the bottom under custom, I have the XFX RX Vega 64 Liquid Cooled. It was barely ever available, I got it at launch and then I've never seen it in stock anywhere since.

According to AMD Link the GPU alone draws 330w under gaming load continuously. A 1080ti would never even vaguely hit that.

My whole system under a gaming load now is around 739w power draw from the wall, if you remove the monitor its about 690w.

I have a 650W Prime Titanium and a 750W Prime Ultra Titanium.

IMO the best PSU's on the market.
