Suggest Performance SMPS!!

Guys, I am upgrading soon, as you might all know, now the HX620 won't cut it I guess, so I'm gonna upgrade the smps as well, I'll sell off my HX620w and get something a bit, umm... meatier, my budget is 7k(stretched to the very limit, have to sell my organs after this), so suggest some.

Now Corsair TX750w V2 catches my eyes, fully sleeved cables(yay), lots of connectors, will probably handle upto GTX570 sli, the non modular cables are a bit mess but here's my question, I will be buying the HAF 912 advanced cabby, can I tuck all those wires behind the mobo tray(hello? Any haf users here? or cm 690 or similar?) So comment on guys, modular is nice but I will probably use most connectors anyway(2 gpus, 3 hdds, 3 odds, half dozen fans).

sam9s, calling out to sam9s, can you show us a pic of your cable management with TX750w? Or anyone? Hello? Anyone home?

First one to reply gets a nice lol image.

And thanks guys.

Bump, this forum dying or what?

What you going to upgrade to that the PSU will not cut the ice.

Don't get me wrong, HX620 will handle the load, the issue is that I have the older revision HX620 and it does not have the new spec pcie cables, the old pcie cables had one 6+2 connector per cable(total 2 cables), so can only hook up one gfx card(2x pcie port), the new spec pcie cables for HX620 have two connectors per cable, so can go multi gpu with those(2x2=4 pcie connectors), now I mailed corsair and they told me that they had sent me two new cables, that's almost 20 days ago, so not sure if those will even reach me here, they used normal mail, so no tracking either.

If those cables do not reach me I'll change the psu, can't risk running gfx card with molex connectors.

Will try to mail them once again but as they had dispatched my order doubt they will send more.

Get a SeaSonic SS-850AT 850W 80+ Silver Certified Power Supply for 6.6K @ TheITWares. It will be probably cheaper here at Tirupati.

What about warranty? Corsair gives 5yrs, seasonic gives??

They are giving 5 years now. Earlier it was 3 years and Tirupati is the sole distributor here in India.

Looks good, but price wise they are almost same as corsair units.

I think it is 80+ bronze... Also t s 6.5K @ lynx-india

Seasonic ss-650at, ss-750at and ss-850at are rebranded by Corsair as tx650 v2, tx750 v2 and tx850 v2 respectively.

ss-850at @ 6.8k incl shipping @ theITwares is a good deal.

Itwares take them from tirupari, tirupati hq is in kolkata, let me contact them first, i bet they can give better deals.

please also ask them: Who will service the Seasonic unit? Will Tirupati do/repair it through local channels/send it to Taiwan or through Kaizen? Will the replaced unit have the same efficiency as the retail one? Approx & max. turn-over/return time (days/months)?

Ok, but I doubt they repair those, I think they just replaces them.

Dear tkin sir,
Having owned/used two HX620 units, i personally do not think upgrading (if we may say so

) to a TX750 V2 is appropriate.
IMHO, what the HX620 was to us a couple of years back, the HX850 is now mostly.
Try and get a HX850- please. Would have said AX850 as it's so simply muaahhh! but so is the price here.

If not, try to squeeze in a HX750 at least. That's what i would have done given your dilemna.

P.S. 20 days is not much. You just might get those cables soon. Some friends did receive theirs, sent all the way from US iirc, when their/our initial HX620s only had 6-pin PCIe connectors and new units had 6+2 ones.

Am a bit out of touch these days and where may i find proper information on what you mentioned? Any links please?

Last i had checked, almost all Corsair units were Corsair own-designs implemented by CWT (Maybe Seasonic-inspired and Corsair-tweaked suitably but CWT-built for sure).

the old tx series were CWT units. these are the new v2 revision.

80+ Listed TXV2's are Seasonic SS-***AT designs - jonnyGURU Forums
On SeaSonic - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net

another interesting thing to note is, seasonic s12ii and s12d units are going out of stock at most stores. i recall theitwares having s12d 750w a couple of months ago and now it has ss-850at.

Yes, I know and I am so sad, HX620 is irreplaceable and honestly going to a TX750v2 will be downgrade(it even costs less), but what can I do? The lack of wires is frustrating and I can't go multi gpu with this. So if the cables do not reach me then bye bye hx620.

The HX750 and above are clearly out of my budget as this psu upgrade was not included in my upgrade plan and parents will not sanction much money for it anyway.

AX850 will make me bankrupt(ax 750 costs 10k).

I'm hoping the cables will reach me as well, the replacement caps for my corsair flash voyager reached me in two weeks, I don't know why this one is taking so long, I just wish I could get the cables from a local distributor(tirupati), its been 20 days, I'm gonna give this 10 days more before I sell the best component I ever purchased for my pc, hurry up corsair.

Can you ask your friends approximately how many days(or weeks) it took for the cable to get here? And whether everyone applying for one got it at the end? Indian custom policy sucks,, 'ooh, sharp cable, must be pricey or component of bomb, lets hold it forever.' I might get the cables after 2 months but that means delaying my upgrade 2 months, soo sad.

As for oem, corsair is switching most of their psus to seasonic, can't complain here, the hx620 was just terrific .

Are you planning to go SLI straightway or what?

Its a thought, even I don't go sli I will still use my 9800GTX+ for physx, so same multi gpu analogy here.

You can use the molex converter for GPUs. I am that too XfireX.

And that does not cause any stability issues? Also the cables should be dedicated right, I mean cannot power fans etc from those cables that power the GPU?

It has to be dual molex. So 2x molex make one PEG connector. People say dedicated, but I did not. !
