    Default I need to get a new power supply

    Which is better the Coolermaster RS750-ACAAE3 GX 750w or the Gigabyte ODIN 720W?

    Can I get suggestions thanks.

    I'm not a big fan of either brand. depends what you are running and the wattage on the 12v rail on the basic level. And many other factors on a more detailed level.
    "multiplatform"... the word that ruins games for PC gamers.

    Stay the f**k away from Gigabyte PSU's.. They tend to pop quite quickly. I would know from experience being in the IT industry.

    Do you perhaps have any idea on how the Huntkey X7 900w performs?

    It's 900 watts, supports SLI and Crossfire. Is modular and rated 80+ efficiency. Costs around R1300. Link

    I have one in my system with a Crossfire setup. (Click my sig for pics of my rig ) I have yet to have any issues. As I posted in another thread,

    "I have a friend that reviews hardware as well, he tried blowing one of those Huntkey PSU's up with 3 x GTX 480's iirc, and was pulling 1100w off the wall socket.. He didn't blow the PSU in the end."

    That was probably the older models yes, but the new ones rock!

    Probably the best angle of my setup. I'll take more photo's tomorrow after I do some cable manangement





    Eyefinity FTW.

    I vote Coolermaster, stay away from Huntkey.
    I'm semi-partial to Gigabyte.
    My old media server had a Gigabyte in it... lasted pretty well. Then again, that thing was never under serious load...
