I am Building a 2011 socket Beast and have been searching for a power supply and have came across this from XFX.

It is fully modular wich I like and it gets great reviews. It also has a hybrid fan control where you can turn the hybrid function on and the fan will stay off when the computer is at idle and switch on during load.

Let me know what you guys think!!

Looks like a good PSU, I would also check into some of the Corsair, PC Power and Cooling, Cooler Master, ThermalTake and Rosewill. I found a 1300 Watt Rosewill PSU with really good reviews on it. Also looks really cool! Not fully modular though, should get the job done. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182063

Really don't want all those lights but i do have a rosewill 850w extreme in my asus crosshair 3 build.

what i like about it is it doesn't have a bottom fan it has a intake in the front and exaust in the back i had it for like 4 years now still going strong!!

These XFX PSU's are brilliant, they are Seasonic.


Highly recommend this PSU because it is cheap for what it is, looks pretty cool, has allot fo warranty, and is one of the best quality PSU's you can get and is made by Seasonic.

If you want to save a little money then this is a very good choice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104142

FSP are an OEM company much like Seasonic and they make great PSU's.

Here is another lower cost alternative;

Or this; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256069

All these PSU's mentioned above including the XFX and Seasonic are roughly as good and reliable as eachother, just go for which one you think looks best, or what warranty you would prefer, or if you want to save a little money the cheaper ones.

Just a rough guide on who manufacture what companies PSU's;

FSP; OCZ, Thermaltake, Silverstone, Zalman

Seasonic; Corsair and XFX
