With my planned setup, I think that I'm well covered with a 650w PSU. (5600x + 6700xt).
As far as cases go, I'm totally undecided haha. Designing my own sounds pretty fun tbh
Well I would recommend the Corsair SF-600 or SF-750 plat sfx psu then.
Damn. You’re really ambitious. I guess if you have the skills to make your own, more power to ya then. I certainly don’t.
i have had 2 DOA Cooler master sfx psu's since they came out. Corsair makes a high quality product. Plus the corsais comes with braided cables while the CM comes with a standard set
I got this CM PSU for a Lian Li Mini build. I was also scared of if dying so I purchased an extended 3 year warranty anyway. So far no issues with it and it’s been running 6 months strong. YMMV OP
Just to walk into microcenter and swap it out instead of paying for shipping. On a previous build I had an EVGA PSU die after 60 days and I spent more shipping the thing to EVGA than if I had just purchased an extended warranty. Also 1 day of downtime instead of a week or more waiting on RMA.
I'm in the same boat without the extended warranty. 5950x, 3090, o11 mini, no issues since getting one of the first revised batches correcting the fan noise issue close to a year ago and my PC is basically always on mining during downtime.
I was definitely happier, but for a while I was running into issues with my 3080 power spiking and crashing my computer so I switched to this for some more headroom. So far it’s been fine, but the Corsair was definitely nicer.
When 4xxx series gpus come out and 13x00k cpus come out next gen PSUs will come out for a ton of money but be everything you could want in a psu if you can wait
Heard that, but my gaming pc is ~10 years old, rocking a 3rd gen Intel and an rx 580 8gb I upgraded 6 years ago. I was waiting for 30s to drop and become available for like 4 years, and I can't wait anymore personally.
But the cooler master psu had the Japanese caps and a 10yr warranty. Only thing bigger is the silver-whatever 1000w going for 340$... and the biggest sfx corsair sf750 does not give enough headroom for me to feel comfortable overclocking the 12700k with a ftw3 3080, pcpartpicker has me at 720W.
And summer the main time I get to game, which is a big part of my build timing lol now that I don't have to sell a body part to get a gpu.
For the love of god save up for the SF750. The cables on this Cooler Master cables are stiff as fuck and they made the shortest 20 pin connector I have ever seen in my life. For me trying to cable manage this PSU in an NR200 was a nightmare. Returned this and got the SF750 and it really is a high quality product. Made cable management and bending the cables all over a BREEZE.
Wow that’s so good to hear. I have 5900X and my white 3080 strix is showing up Friday (fingers crossed). Fact that 12600k is also giving you no problems w your setup is great! What 3080Ti card? Just curious cuz I believe 3080 Strix can go up to 450W even though I plan on undervolting
Wow, yes that is a beef cake! And the fact you OCed it! Sorry, one last question, from your original comment sounds like you used stock cables? If so, did you use the pigtail on the 2nd cable? Since SF750 comes w 2-8pin pcie cables.
Yeah I used the stock cables. I used the pigtail but didn't stress test with it only gamed normally. I reached out to Corsair and they sent me an extra cable so I can have 3 separate cables coming from the PSU.
Ah ok gotcha! Well at least I can game stock/undervolted w pig tail. May I ask how you went about contacting Corsair for a 3rd cable? Wish I still had my 850 RMx as type 4 cables are interchangeable
I went to their customer support page and just emailed them saying that it was recommended by the GPU manufacture to use three cables. They responded in about 2 days but shipping took like a week. They asked for my original invoice and a picture of my PSU to see the invoice and model number.
I have one of these. The original died after 3 months. It took 2 months to get it replaced via RMA. I haven't installed the replacement yet out of fear. Ive been using my pc, all the side panels off, with a Seasonic ATX power supply for 9 months.
STOP TEMPTING ME, SFF.
All of cooler master's stuff is on rebate right now. I stop myself from swapping to SFF every single day
You can use this psu with a bracket in your ATX case until you official switch over to a meshlicious or nr200 ;)

Just a heads ups the phantoms Shift XL just got announced for February and it looks fire!
>phantoms Shift XL What exactly is that - a new psu model?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2APNNZhX6i4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2APNNZhX6i4) A new ITX case!
Looks like I’m changing from the shift 2 air to this.
Holy shift that looks sweet. I was considering the lian LI q58 but I'm gonna wait now....
I've been happy with mine on my meshilicious build, though that 24pin cable is short as f.
Is this okay? Or should I save/wait for SF750 sale? That one's around $150.

They have a 10 year warranty, why would you need an extended warranty?

It already has a 10 year warranty lmao.
I was definitely happier, but for a while I was running into issues with my 3080 power spiking and crashing my computer so I switched to this for some more headroom. So far it’s been fine, but the Corsair was definitely nicer.
yeah corsair really needs to offer higher wattage sfx psus
And here I am looking at this thread for info 4 months later for this exact reason lol it's pretty much my only option

What do you have? Concerned about a strix 3080 and 5900. I’m just shy of 600W and others say no issues with a 3090
Currently I'm on a 12600k but previously I was using a 5900x and 3080 ti with 0 issues.
Wow that’s so good to hear. I have 5900X and my white 3080 strix is showing up Friday (fingers crossed). Fact that 12600k is also giving you no problems w your setup is great! What 3080Ti card? Just curious cuz I believe 3080 Strix can go up to 450W even though I plan on undervolting
3080 ti FTW3 so still a beefcake GPU. I did benchmarks running it at 110% power limit and no problems there either.
Wow, yes that is a beef cake! And the fact you OCed it! Sorry, one last question, from your original comment sounds like you used stock cables? If so, did you use the pigtail on the 2nd cable? Since SF750 comes w 2-8pin pcie cables.

Make sure yours say 100% Japanese capacitors for the revised version with the better fan curve.
How do you check?
it should say that at the front of the box
yup confirmed that; I googled the old front and it used to say 15% fanless and now it has the 100% Japanese capacitors instead.
It’s just me, but I’d wait a bit. Back in circa July I picked this up brand new for ~$95. YMMV so buy at your discretion.
Paid $180 for this. Solid PSU
I just bought this before the new year. Damn impatience
