While I was seriously tempted I ordered a Seasonic X750. If Newegg had the X850 I would have got that. Overkill on power, u bet. I figure the easier it runs under load the quieter it is with less heat. I seem to always want to kick these up a notch on new buys for future needs but things seem to have reached a plateau No SLI or Crossfire in my future. Not that hard a gamer anymore but system has 4 hard drives, 2 optical drives, 1gb video (GTX460) and Quad cpu. (Q9650)
Might try a Nexus in my next customer build. Actually Looked ay the Lian-Li PSU's (looked good) but were too noisy on the fans. They build kick ass cases though. Building a PC-B25B right now. Hope to be very quiet box. ( the plan anyway) Hope not to have to change out the stock fans. thanks fp At 11:50 PM 11/5/2010, Scoobydo Poked the stick with: >Never heard of it and never read a review of it. 3D Gameman isn't totally >incompetent and Nvidia recommends it.
