Raidmax?

[BioQuack]

Does anyone have any experience with this company?

From what i have read they have good reviews and i just want some opinions on this.

[FaRKle!]

Raidmax products are pretty close to cheap junk IME.

[BioQuack]

so not a recommended product?

[jedimasterben]

Depends on what you're looking at. Power supplies I wouldn't touch with a 10ft pole, if it were a case, as long as it looked good, then I wouldn't mind it.

[BioQuack]

i need a 850w power supply and it cant be longer then 160mm and cant cost more then 150 dollars.

[jedimasterben]

Corsair TX850 then?

[BioQuack]

is it modular

[jedimasterben]

No. You'll be spending $170+ to get modular, 850w, AND quality.

[BioQuack]

hmm. i will have to contomplate this. i am trying to get modular. so i will see if i can spare the extra amount.

[FaRKle!]

If you can settle for 750W Newegg's got the Seasonic X750 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?SID=u0t0f0fp51439dd0c0s701&AID=10440897&PID=1225267&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na&Item=N82E16817151087) for only $120 shipped with coupon code EMCYTZT453.

^That's a great deal for that PSU. I caught the X650 for $99 shipped a month ago or so.

I guess the question is what kind of system will you be powering with it? I've got a 5GHz i7 and a 6970 OC'ed and I've seen 500w of usage only under Furmark and IBT, hasn't hit 300w so far in gaming.

[FaRKle!]

Unless he's running SLI GTX 580s he'd probably be fine with a 750W.

I've got a 4GHz i7 920 and CFX 6950s OC'd to 1015MHz. My draw from the wall when stressing everything is 710W, which means the system is only really drawing 640W.

[BioQuack]

i am going to run 2 gtx 570s i7 950. 1ssd 1hdd and an eventual water loop.
