Which PSU is better?

[gpuYahud]

Hello guys!
i'm here to ask some quick question.
which Psu is better?

Thermaltake Smart SE 730W
http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001966

SilverStone ST70F-ES (Essential Edition!)
http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=295

I may use CrossFireX
what do you guys think about those cheap-mainstream PSUs?
thanks before!

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Seasonic , XFX , CORSAIR but not CX Series , Antec. < Here are the brands you want.

I wouldn't buy either of those you linked.

Thermaltake by far in this case but like SR-71 said I would spend a bit more and get a really good PSU and not risk having unstable system or fry a system especially with Crossfire.

Don't forget to choose a Best Solution when opening a question thread , the forum members will appreciate that.Thanks for posting on the forum.

 

[gpuYahud]

thanks for the answer!

so, what do you think if my system like this :

Phenom II x6 1100T
a 880G mobo (i already own this so i don't think i need a new board for this time)
8 GB of (i'm not sure what to choose because the 1100T only support up to 1333 rams)
PowerColor HD 7870 PCS+ Myst Edition (may croosfirex-ing if i buy a good enough board)
1 TB WD Black

well for now i didn't think to OCing this rig, but yes when i bought a new mobo.
and don't forget, i'm in tight budget here. thanks 😀

If going crossfire in the future get : Seasonic , XFX , CORSAIR but not CX Series , Antec

650 Watt.

I think XFX has one of the best radio price/performance and I think this is what you need for the price that you like.

how about FSP Raider RA-650 650W 80+ Silver http://www.fsplifestyle.com/product.php?LID=1&PSN=382

That psu has only 2 PCIE and you said you want to have crossfire so you need 4.

[gpuYahud]

btw, there are Bronze and Silver version, what is the different?

The bronze is fine.

XFX is better. FSP 750w has some issues with 5V ripple and 12V is mediocre.

 

[gpuYahud]

i didn't really understand that issue, what does it means anyway?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Seasonic , XFX , CORSAIR but not CX Series , Antec. < These are the best brands on the market , if you have access to these , they are the way to go, but FSP is decent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_%28electrical%29 English is not my native languade so explaining wouldn't help much. Better read on wiki or just google it and you will find more about this.
