I'm checking if my existing power supply can handle these components. Right now I'm using an i5 4690k at 4.5 GHz and an R9 280 3GB Windforce at 1.1 GHz. If I increase the GPU speed to 1.2 GHz, I start having crashes. I have 16GB RAM, a hard drive, and an SSD. I'm considering a replacement PSU priced around RM 750.
The CX series uses inexpensive caps, giving you control, though I wouldn't heavily push them—the caps might handle other parts with the PSU.
same here i'm experiencing crashes in new games instead of old ones, and when i put my hand on the PSU casquet under load it's hot, not just 80° but probably over 55° or 60°, should i consider an EVGA 700/750W Supernova?
then i will save some cash to one EVGA. by the time i get the CX's i had an HD7850 so it worked perfectly for that card, but two years have passed and since i began using my R9 280 i encountered some problems, even with the PC going off.
yes, it has been two years and almost three now. this is my first time pushing it. i also had a mild OC in my 3570k 4.0Ghz—it's like no oc at all. i ddt it using offset and turbo oc only, so i ddt pussh it hard. anyway, i will try to catch up with an evga.
i really like waiting a while before playing again since getting that evga costs twice as much in the us. the evga 750w is priced at 135$ and the modular model at 140$, so i expect about two-thirds of the time to pass until i get the new psu.
