I have just returned my Corsair 620w hx series, because of a rare fault. I know the corsair is a super psu, that tis why I bought it in the first place:) . But now as I have a chance of buying a new psu for £100 should I consider the ocz 700w?
I have herd very good things about it. I know it has done very well in some reviews as has the corsair:)
anyone have any experiences of the ocz?
I had the FSP epsilon 700w which is the same psu, and I wasnt impressed with it to be honest.
If you search these forums, youll see the problems that I had, but to sumarise, it was poorly built, fan problems, duff 4+4 connectors and the main atx plug wouldnt stay in the socket..oh and the fan stuck on full.
Other people swear by them, I swore at mine.
The corsair did seem excellent to me, the only problem is it didn't work :mrgreen: but if you don't rate it I know I can take you word for it.
I know it's off the subject but what is the best water cooling set up under £120 as mi dad said he would pay for one:mrgreen: .
Depends what you want to cool...what do you want to cool?
cpu e6300, possibly the gfx card, it is not essential. But if I could get a good deal with the gfx cooler on water that would be cool.:)
I'm having this same problem too with my 600W version main 20 pin atx connector is ok but extra 4 pin connector is quite loose. And they're not integrated so you can install 4 pin connector wrong way round......just like I did:pQuote:

The best way is to get seperate bits, but £120 isnt going to get you those realistically, unless you go for used ones.
There is this, but its not got a gpu block with it, and its a single rad. Bang on £120.
It all depends what you want to do, but if you can stretch it a bit more, youll get a much better setup. Also, did you want quietness or performance or both?
Well I just wanted that extra bit more for oc'ing the cpu really:) , as long as it's not horrifically noisy thats fine:) , is the corsair one any good? or is it not worth it, as in go air:) .
That swiftech kit is probably your best bet then, you can always add the gpu block later. Noise wise, if you want silence, you need a rad that works well with low rpm/cfm fans, such as the Thermochill PA series, not cheap, but work well.
Rite o, cheers for the responses :), I will look into it the world of water cooling more.
