SLI - Google Search

it is better to go with a single gpu .. sli/crossfire is highly dependant on per game basis , otheriwse you may experience microstuttering or gpu scaling may be poor and not worth it..

reasearch more on this with newer games that you are looking to play..

what is your budget ?

if you can wait approx 2 months you can save Rs 5000 on motherboard

I googled yesterday and it went above my head. In layman terms does it mean to combine 2xGTX 1080 gpu's like they do in gaming laptops nowadays?

SLI is older than your post suggests. There are 2-way, 3-way and even 4-way SLI supported GPUs. Also, you could get better performance using a single powerful card instead of two lower powered ones in SLI because scaling doesn't always work properly.

Thanks. Last offtopic question, the high end gaming laptops nowadays have two gpu's. What technology do they use to make them work together if not sli?

It's a great PSU. Go for it.

Best Power Supplies

The CX650M is among the best bang for the buck PSUs available on the market today. It offers very good performance and it is silent enough, although it could be even more silent with a lower, minimum fan speed. At its current price it is very difficult to find a better unit, covered by a hefty five-year warranty.

Shouldn't you guys be suggesting Corsair RMx series for a GTX 1070 config? The newer Corsair CX series with 5 yrs warranty is still a tier below Seasonic S12II. The Antec EAxxxG series doesn't compete either.

W

Budget was not mentioned by op & among the 3 options earlier suggested,I thought as seasonic S12II is already discontinued it is better to go for CX650M.Of course corsair RMx series is better but also costlier & since op is looking for "cheapest 80 plus gold psu" CX650M seems to be the only option.

seasonic si2ii has been degraded to tier 4 on linustechtips tier list.. as it does not have UVP on 12v rail, no OCP and no OTP , group regulated design , 8 years old..

PSU Tier List Updated

the only good thing it has are japanese caps and FDB fan..

the new corsair CX (not M) made by CWT ( Cx has 2 oem other is great wall ) is very good and is better than seasonic s12ii

DC-DC , good performance , all protections.. excellent price if you can get this for 3300 , rifle fan only 2 or 3 samxon/suscon/elite caps rest mostly are solid caps..

*club.dns-shop.ru/hardware/Обзор-и-тестирование-блока-питания-Corsair-CX650/

Corsair CXM and great wall CX can be argued which is better compared to seasonic depending upon what you value most.. caps vs performance + protection/safety

Considering RMx has 10 yrs warranty and Corsair's after-sales is good it's definitely cheap. And CX650M isn't gold rated.

G

well if budget is low .. then the best option currently is actually Corsair TXM ..

tomshardware didn't include TXM .. maybe because prices are different in USA

but in india

Tx550m and Cx 650m both are priced at Rs 5700 on vedant..

TX has gold efficiency , all japanese caps , 7 year warranty , semi modular.. it is loud though and 3.3v transient tests performance is bad but this does not have much impact.. excellent bang for buck

it beats all other psu's currently ..then next best option is RMx at 8k

PSU Tier List

^ This is the tier list i'm following made by jonnyguru himself. And jonnyguru works at Corsair now so he would have biased Corsair more.

Yeah the new TXM models seems like a good choice as well :emoji_thumbsup:

Is that antec psu i mentioned is bad? My budget is 7k. Also i am looking forward 650w

I never used an antec psu before but pricing seems attractive. In amazon it is 6800 rs.

Compared to Corsair TXM and RMx it's a bad choice. Buying PC components from Amazon/Flipkart is usually expensive. Buy from primeabgb, mdcomputers, theitdepot, vedantcomputers, etc (shipping cost extra)

Well, I will recommend to go for MSI Z370 A PRO and 500W PSU probably it could be Cooler Master Master Watt Lite 500 W OR 600W. For the case,, if you are fan of RGB, then you can for Cooler Master Mastercase Lite 5 RGB.

I have recently built system from ANT PC with configuration Intel i7 8700, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, MSI Z370 A PRO, Cooler Master GM 650 W, Cooler Master Masterbox 5 Dark Mirror Cabinet, G.Skill 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 Ram, 250 GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD and 1 TB WD HDD.

Cooler Master has crap PSUs and Master Case Lite 5 has poor airflow. ANT PC gave you a thrash PSU. 1080Ti is known to consume ~400W alone on load (source: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founder's Edition Review: Bigger Pascal for Better Performance) and it would be better to pair it with a 80+ Gold/Platinum 750W or above PSU from a reputed brand like Seasonic, Corsair or EVGA.

Misstyped, you are right it is GM 750, they were suggesting V series, though maybe I never allowed them to alter, I was sticking to it. Haha, But anyway Im happy with my system, support to performance of system, :-D

you should have gone with their suggestion at the very least then if not asked here or some other place..

Check on your PSU , is your model no - RS750-AMAA-B1 ... This PSU has bad caps and risky for a 1080ti GPU .. they are very unreliable .. similar to Corsair VS series .. how much did you pay for it ?

Обзор и тестирование блока питания Cooler Master G750M

you shouldn't be using this quality PSU with 1080TI . Please ask them to change this and pay them restocking fee / extra money ...

Cooler master V series on the other hand is good , though Corsair has better models..
