Had to go dig it up again. Never home when I need to be. Lol
Thermaltake XT 775w.
“here we have the star of the show, the +12v rail. That rail is so solid that Vin Diesel would be shaking in his boots. Seriously, a drop from 12.10v to 11.96v is nothing at all and once again the cross-load and max-load results are also pretty awesome. Oh and in case you’ve been wondering: Yes, the XT 775w did manage to hold a whopping 990w load without breaking a sweat!”
Is a bit older then I recalled, reviews date back to 2013. Oops. But it’s been kept cool, and generally enjoyed light loads. Again, something I’ll probably have to update in shorter order, but one chunk at a time.
I used to be a community admin at the AMD forums, years past, psus were always the whipping posts for most problems back then, and the Psus I buy are usually well researched.
One thing I had not considered was the new 12v 12 pin connector on the rtx 4 series. I gather it allows the gpu to communicate directly with the psu. But they’re so new, that I can’t find one on the market. So I’ll let that nature a little and buy a new psu once a leader in that segment materializes.
Now I’m just hoping that when the 4080s release they’ll be really available.
On that point… I used to enjoy EVGA, but… There’s that elephant in the room. I like my strix cooler on my 3060, very quiet (always a priority for me), but I worry about longevity.
The 4080 will be a much longer term use purchase. Who’s the goto aside from EVGA for quality and warranty?
