PCP&C... i dont think power is an issue between those, and PCP&C is more reliable. Go with the best.

LOUISSSSS, there are dozens of power supply threads, and it's easy to see that PCP&C is the forum favorite when price is not an issue.

The cheaper one. You know why PCP&C has "SLI" in the name of that power supply? Because 95% of the people using one, including the OP in this thread could buy an identical 2nd system to the one they are using and run the 2 in "SLI" on that one PSU without problems.

I seriously doubt that is the reason why....makes no sense....
Especially when companies like Seasonic as well as others also advertise - nVIDIA SLI Certified!!

I wasn't being serious. SLI refers to SLI video card compatibility. Though, from a technical standpoint my original definition is accurate. That PSU really is powerful enough to run 2 typical gamer's systems, including LOUISSSSS's posted above.

I'm in the minority with Fotron. Its price range is affordable, for most of us. Granted PCP&C has lesser priced models, but its still difficult to think spending $200. From $45 to $90 is where I'm comfortable. I'm a Chevy guy, even though a Lexus is fantastic, it's not my cup of tea.

And how many people here do you think have actually used both? Honestly, I believe pretty much any high quality PSU will be fine.

Stability/quietness? The PCP&C 510 measured 72 dB(A) at max, so probably the Fortron. I'm not sure if the Fortron has been tested anywhere yet, but my guess is since PCP&C have always been among the loudest, that it would be quieter. It does have higher efficiency (PCP&C 70%, Fortron 85%). Both are in the tops in stability, and the PCP&C will only gain you anything if you're really pushing your overclock and need the most solid rails.

If money is a non-issue. Buy both and do a review for us

"stability/quietness ratio most important" Your first words not mine.

I PMed you, at your request, a good site, run buy a guy that reviews PSUs with full load
testing. He listed the PSUs in an order he feels they deserve.
PCP&C and Zippy/Emacs are at the top of that list. FSP Group PSUs are close.

You want quiet. Go with the new model Fortron because it has an internal(inside the case)
fan that is 120mm. It's probably a Yate Loon because that is what I've seen when I've
opened up a Fortron with a 120 fan. The PCP&C will have an 80mm ball bearing fan that
will not even get close to a 120 Yate Loon in the dBA war.

For those interested in more dead horse beating,. I offer the Fortron's pdf spec sheet.
http://www.home2000.net/client/fspgroupusacom/images/FSP%20FX600-GLN(SPEC).pdf

The spec looks VG indeed. Note the load it says it can carry depending on how it's FOUR
12V rails are loaded. I hope it lives up to that spec in real world reviews. If it does, Seasonic
will be looking at a new kid on the block.

Note also how the efficiantcy rating varies, depending on the supply voltage. PSUs are
more efficiant at 240VAC than 120VAC.

When Seasonic or anyother high efficiantcy PSU says...Up to 85% efficiantcy, they are
probably talking at 240VAC. Here in the States we are at 120VAC, atleast most of us plug
the rig into a wall socket, not the 220 used for the dryer or stove.

This kind of half truth is just another fudged lie that the ad-ppl put on us.

OP, I never will post in another PSU thread you put up.
Enough already, just pick a partner and dance

I'd say the fortron.

Both PSUs can handle the system with ease, there's not very much difference in terms of reliablity (possibly some but negligable) and the fortron would be much quieter.
