I was thinking about getting a corsair PSU but lots of failures reported. Is EVGA more reliable?

No idea but everything I've ever had from them has been rock solid, and this psu is fantastic.

They are reliable if you get gold or platinum certified. The cheap ones, not so much

I've purchased PSU's by corsair for years. Their older PSU's did not have a lot of issues until the past year or so. Since then, I've noticed a familiar trend of people seeing the same issues with a strange oscillation (high pitch noise) coming from them. Lately, I usually purchase PC Power & Cooling PSU's, and recently one of these EVGA units for a recent build. So far, the EVGA PSU hasn't given us any issues. I'd bet they're decent enough. Mine went into a workstation build with no problems to speak of to date. :)

The EVGA is definitely more reliable especially the P2 series they are based off the Leadex Platinum platform. The evga p2 1000 has one of the lowest ripple rates and best voltage regulation of any 1000 watt plus power supplies and one of the best power supplies period. Low ripple rates means your pc parts last longer and have alot less chance of dying due to power supply fluctuations combined with the voltage regulation also means this is a killer power supply for overclocking.

I'm running it with 0 issues on a 700W 80++ Platinum Certified PSU so I would think u should be fine, although I would see if your PSU is certified because that will make a large difference.

I believe it will work but not a very dependable power supply. My failed as soon as warranty was up. I would buy Corsair, Thermaltake or CoolMaster.

That is an old problem that has been fixed. I bought this PSU about 6 months ago and have a Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 and I've never had a problem. The PSU has been working perfectly.

Can't say. The only Corsair power supply I bought from Amazon was completely dead when I received it. Had to return it and buy another brand power supply (which worked fine).

Actually you might need to for everything to work correctly. But I'd still buy the evga dark instead

I would really recommend you go w/ an Antec (they're extremely reliable, trust me). I checked out the specs for your hp elite, that's a nice machine, I wouldn't risk it for this Corsair. I bought this psu and it sizzled out w/in the first six weeks. I replaced it w/ an Antec 900w from here on amazon, and have had amazing performance and lower electric bills. Plus, if I ever need to upgrade, I'll have plenty of power to do so. > Antec High Current Gamer HCG-900, 80 PLUS BRONZE, 900 Watt Power Supply (it's on sale now for 117.00, which is a killer deal considering that I paid close to $200 for mine).

I have no problems at all with my Corsair power supply. It is working beautifully and is so quiet.

i just bought a 500w corsair . it works flawless. also have a R9 270x on the same rig http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Watt-EPS%C2%A0-CX500/dp/B0092ML0MY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1415836474&sr=1-1&keywords=corsair+builder

Rosewill makes a decent psu. With that basic setup you should do well. Especially if you have it on a surge protection, that will extend it's life possibly. I've had good psus die within a year and cheap ones last years. It is a gamble half the time, but since you won't be loading it much and if you get a surge protection then it should be just fine.

The EVGA web site lists a 350W minimum power supply. The heat sink can get quite warm under taxing use.

Hey Josh, I can't comment on the 1000 of each PSU. My decision is this. My choice was between the Corsair 1200i and the EVGA 1200 P2. I choose the EVGA for a couple of reasons. First off, the 10 year warranty, and almost a hundred dollar difference. Both of these are very good psu's. You can't do wrong with either. However I personally don't care for the (i) interface. To me however, 1200 watts is not an overkill. Simply because my rig is build for the long future (4k). And knowing that my psu has a 10 year warranty. No brainer. Like I said, you can't go wrong with either. However look at the warranty, future, and price. GAME ON, my friend Hey Josh, I can't comment on the 1000 of each PSU. My decision is this.

This PSU has and still is serving me very well. It didn't flinch at anything I've thrown at it but I have not tried SLI. Should you are within its limits, you should also be fine with SLI.

by the specs of the evga card you're looking to run, sure it's an ok psu. the problem with this psu, is that it's not meant to run long hours. so if you're planning to run your system long. them no. also take into consideration how much overall wattage you will need to run you set up. mother board, cpu, video/sounds cards, fans, lights, hard drive. You have to be able to power all these things at once. don't buy just any old power supply.

Technically, it should be higher, but it may still work well. There was some sort of incompatibilty between my card and PC (wasn't able to determine the cause), so I traded with a friend. He's now running it on a higher-end medium performance pc with only a 350w psu and it's working perfectly for him. Granted, he only buys high quality brand psu.

Considering how this psu failed in 6 months when i have been doing heavy duty gaming.. I think the answer is no. But if you were asking if this unit can supply enough wattage for your build, the answer is yes. UNLESS you are running SLI/Crossfire, in which case go for an 750 or 800W.

I recommend a evga supernova 1000w+. It is highest rated, high quality, and you only put in wires you need so you box isn't full of wires you aren't using. I got the 1300 w one and it's almost enough for four cards has 10 year warranty and was only $200
