FSP SAGA 500W or Seasonic s12II 430W??

[reflexx20]

though i'm myself using SAGA+6850.....but now one of my friend is planning to buy the same GPU.......so he want to go with Seasonic s12II 430W.....but he has a doubt that will the 430W PSU be better than the 500W saga????....and yeah he is ready to spend around 2.6k......so plzz don't reply that SAGA is cheap n all....he just needs to buy a better one out of these two.....

The seasonic one will definitely be better but availability might be an issue. Get corsair CX430 V2 for 2.6-2.8k

Seasonic is definitely better option than saga considering the built quality.

 

[sukesh1090]

if you get seasonic then buy it or go with corsair CX430V2 which costs around 2.3k.or even FSP saga that one is also good.

 

[reflexx20]

thanxx a ton all of you for your suggestions......i think i'll suggest my friend to go with Seasonic 430W....what say???

 

[d6bmg]

^^ Yes, if and only if Corsair CX430V2 is not available at your place.

i will suggest saga II 500 + hd6850.

saga II 500 has sufficient build quality and provides more power.

hey one more question can Seasonic S2II 430W or SAGA 500W will work fine with Sapphire 6870???..

Plzz reply ASAP.....

 

[SlashDK]

Nope. Even if they work, it will be cutting it close. It's not recommended.

 

[d6bmg]

No.
Just to be safe, do NOT even try 6870 with Seasonic S2II 430W.

Fsp Saga 500+HD 6850 will be best option.If saga500 not available then Corsair Cx430V2@2.5K.

hey one more question can Seasonic S2II 430W or SAGA 500W will work fine with Sapphire 6870???..

Plzz reply ASAP.....

Nope.Its not recommended.Corsair GS600 will be best for HD6870.

FSP Saga II 500w can easily power a HD6870. i doubt 430w.

Oh really? 6870 is a power efficient card, the Seasonic will handle it no problem. Ofc overclocking is a completely different story.

[vaibhav23]

yup no overclocking with that psu.Will run fine without OC.
The person has changed his PSU before unlocking the shaders.I think to a seasonic 520W
