    Quick question,TT or Corsair

    What to choose? Thermaltake 750w or Corsair 620w? TT is about 50$ cheaper.That is what I can buy,there is no other competition...OK,there is but it is much more expensive.Tagan 700w Easycon XL is about 250$,so you know what price is it

    Corsair is the probable favourite but i used a Thermaltake 750 in a pc about 6 months ago and it has proved to be very quiet and stable for the money !!

    Corsair is cca 230$ and TT is cca 170$.It will be TT 750w,but the problem is also that it is only 1 year warranty in that store...Can I send it to TT after 1 year if it failed?I heard it have 5 year warranty

    It's probably only 1 year in-store for the Corsair too.

    Yes, Thermaltake has a 5 year warranty now.

    If the TT is really that much cheaper then get it.

    Then I´ll probably get TT,but what is better?Now don´t look at price,just for performance,nothing else. It got 9.5 for performance from you jonny,also the corsair...

    Tough call. They're both very good. Both use the same quality of components. Both are modular. Both are efficient. Both are quiet. Both have 5 year warranties.

    There's one place that the TT shines over the Corsair and that's that it puts out more power, so even if they're the same price I'd probably still get the TT over the Corsair.

    On the other hand.... I just recabled my machine last night and I have an X3 with the FlexForce cables like the Corsair and I'll tell you what.... Those damn cables are SO MUCH EASIER to route under the motherboard and stuff than your typical red black black yellow wires, sleeved or non-sleeved, that it's not even funny.

    Cables are not problem.I always find a way to hide it...Will it be enough for 2xhd 2900xt OC (without voltage modding) and dc cpu,4gb and 200gb hdd?Only CPU and GPU will be overclocked,but nothing too much...Only for benching with water cooling (then you know that it wont be anything required)

    The TT will handle two HD 2900s...but barely...

    You'd be better off with a Silverstone, PCP&C or Zippy 750watter...or an 850watter from all other brands for that kind of rig.

    I don't necessarily agree.

    He's not running two HD2900's with a Quad FX board and a four drive SATA raid. The 750 should be fine and I certainly don't think a Silverstone or PCP&C 750W would have to be any better. Certianly not enough to make any difference.

    Well now is 20$ difference for TT...
    TT is cca 150%,corsair is about 174$

    What is quality of caps inside TT? I heard CWT (OEM producer for TT) is bad and the corsair is better choice over TT,that it has more power and lower ripple

    The TT will be using predominantly Samxon. CWT has learned their lesson about caps and heat

    About Seasonic build quality, maybe a bit better. That Silverstone is one of the lesser builds... no competition to either the TT or Corsair.

    No, there isn't.

    It's either a SilverStone Strider 750W ST75 or a SilverStone Zeus ST75ZF. Two totally different PSU's.

    The TT.

    SilverStone Strider 750 watt is a good choice too

    there are 2 TT 750W's with different model #'s

    one in the "Guru"'s review model# W0116RU "Modular"

    and the other model # W0117RU(standard ps wiring) which has a $30 rebate if I'm not mistaken at NewEgg

    Are they both the same on the insides?

    The ZF is Etasis based...and can handle far more than the TT

    which is better TT 750W or the Enermax Infiniti 650W or Cosair 620HX?

    the TT ~ $149 shipped and the Infinity 650 ~ $167 shipped and

    Cosair 620HX ~ $140 shipped

    i am torn between these 3 since the TT 750W is on sale now.


    building a Q6600, P5K mb, 2gig ram 6400, 2 hdd, 1 dvd writer, 1 DX10 ATI Card(or sub. for a 640mb GTS), one ATI tv wonder, Probably will OC alittle or maybe not at all.
    I'm wanting the Infiniti 650W as you can see or I wouldn't be in this position


    Jonnyguru review of the TT Toughpower 750W modular has me wondering about the 12v rails, that review came out very sketchy about the 12v rail max amp. I probably shouldn't worry bout it with my future setup but I'm wanting something good. the infiniti 650W sounds good from Jonny's review but its pricing is higher.
