Budget 0-20k Best high-wattage PSU under 9k?

[Stronk]

Hi all,
I'm in need of a relatively high wattage PSU (at least 750W) in a strict budget of 9k (with additional 100-500 for shipping etc). Currently looking at the Silverstone DA850 (5 yrs warranty) and Antec Neo Eco 850 Gold (7 yrs warranty). Are there any better (or higher wattage options) available in this price range? No preference for modularity, although at least semi-modular is preferred.

Looking to purchase before end of this month. Avoiding Seasonic Focus platform based PSUs (particularly Antec HCG and Earthwatts series) based on this link, since I have a Vega 64 LC, and I suspect the issue described there (high transient loads) is what basically killed my CX550 within 4 months (which I had carried over from my older build thinking it would be fine, have applied for RMA), even though I was using the GPU with a power limit of 250W in software and 284W as per eco mode bios. Also looked at the Deepcool DQ850 and DQ750, and apparently the V2L models (which are the only ones available to purchase) have bad reviews, so struck that one out as well.

Open to buying used (with at least 3 years warranty, and have put up relevant post in WTB section), but if buying new, would like to have at least 5 years warranty, preferably 7 or more.

Thank you.

Get antec HCG 750w, usually retails for around 7500rs but seems to be out of stock in MD/Amazon (appario). If you can't wait you can get from pcstudio for 8100rs, only 1 in stock. It's a top tier PSU with 10y warranty. You can also consider nzxt c750, Xpg core reactor 750w, all in same tier but will be little costly.

The RM series are very highly regarded but also are quite pricey. But I'm not sure of what their regular prices are, and 10.5k for a 750W PSU to me seems a bit high. But maybe it's worth the quality and 10yr warranty, up to you at the end of the day.

Avoiding Antec HCG and EAG series for reason linked in op. Btw 8f you had to choose between the 2 PSUs linked in op (Antec NE850G and Silverstone DA850), which one would you suggest? I'm leaning towards Antec for its 7yr warranty compared to 5yr for ss, but any reason to do otherwise?

Seems worth the extra 1k over the RM750 tbh, although warranty is "only" 7yrs

I was running antec EA 750w gold (2019) with 5700xt for an year with no issues and now running my 3070ti drawing 300w. Buy nzxt C750 if you're worried about it, its still under your budget 8700rs :

Well it's not a huge issue unless you have a GPU which is known for high transient power draw, such as my Vega 64 Liquid. But if you do, well, good luck I guess. Wish I knew about this issue earlier as well, would have bought a new PSU at the time of upgrade itself instead of postponing it indefinitely. Prices would have been better had I bought it earlier as well, but oh well.

Thanks for replying!
5700XT is not known for high transient power draw, and neither is the 3070ti. I have a friend using an overclocked 3070 in a sff pc with sf450 for more than 7 months.
Hence I'm avoiding seasonic focus platform psus. Also any reason to go for NZXT C750 over Silverstone DA850 and Antec NE850G? The NZXT does have 3yrs extra warranty over the Antec, but then again it is 100W lower so it might actually be worse for handling high transient loads, hence the hesitancy.

Also Sapphire itself recommends a 1000W PSU for the Vega 64 LC, and though I know it doesn't matter most of the time (as evidenced by my friend running a 3070 on a sf450), this time I think it's actually wise to (at least try and) follow it lol

1000w wtf, what's max power draw from the card? 750 should be enough imo

Max power draw is in excess of 300W, but reviews have mentioned transient draw of 500W+ if I remember correctly. The Liquid edition Vega was really a behemoth lol

I read that too but in Toms review even with oc power limit at +50% it touched 402w max so it should be fine unless you want to upgrade to something more powerful in that case just get a 1000w PSU, also the neo eco gold seems to have same issues like other ones you quoted.

Oh, so that must also be based on Seasonic Focus. Well, that leaves only Silverstone DA850 but there seems to be no reviews of it anywhere which is making me hesitant.
Or if I get lucky and someone lists a 1000W PSU within budget.

So the problem with Vega is that there's no way to actually get hardware readings (through probes) for the card's real temperature and power draw. So the only way to get temps and power readings is through software, and that is pretty inaccurate since those readings are averaged for a few seconds, not instantenous. So this is why transient power draw with Vega 64 and vii is a big problem - no one really knows the actual peak power consumption, just the continuous power consumption under load. Moreover, the software power consumption reading is considered inaccurate for Vega GPUs, since they don't account for transfer losses and power consumed hy the VRM and other components on the pcb as well (not just core and memory), which can also be checked if they had a hardware probe for power.
The RTX 2080 Ti has the same issue of high transient power draw, but it's peak power consumption can be verified with a hardware probe, making it much easier to see peak power consumption compared to relying on just software readings.

Antech neo eco 850 platinum is a good choice as suggested by thecoolerplayer.
Corsair RM750/850 is also an excellent choice, my personal preference is Corsair. Recently I bought RM850 for 12K , I'm satisfied and happy with my purchase.
10500/- for the 750 watt model is a fair price. 650 watt model sells for 9k.

As per the link there, the issue is solved and there is no need to reject the PSU for that reason. The antecs are the only CFM PSU option, rest are far too expensive or just nowhere as good.

 

[Stronk]

How is the XPG Core Reactor series? Some reviews mention them as excellent, while others just say it's mediocre. The 750W version is 9.5k and can stretch for that (850W is 11k) if it's worth it, but confused by reviews. Otherwise will probably end up going for the Antec NE850G M.

Yep I saw that, but that's for only 2019 revisions and above. The Corsair RM (or was it RMx?) series are still apparently affected by this, and so are all pre 2019 revisions. But the Antec NE Modular series were launched post-2019 so hopefully that has the newer revision.

Deepcool dq850
This is the old model (2018) so I'm not sure if they really have it in stock, call and confirm before buying. It's tier A too
Also check if it's really the old one and ask warranty details as some sites saying 5y while some saying 3y

Damn what a find, will ring them up tomorrow. Thanks!

Btw found this overview of the Silverstone DA850:

And reconciling above info with the below info of capacitors, all of them are top tier:

So with this new info, I'm leaning towards getting the DA850 even if the Deepcool model at vishal is actually the older stock. What say @rockstah @SunnyBoi @Nitendra Singh?

Looks like its a good PSU, go for it!

Checked again your requirements, I won't recommend 750W, atleast 850W or above.
How about Antec HCG 850 Gold 80 Plus ? available for 10.5k at MD
don't be a miser spend 1-2k more for better overall performance and 10yr warranty.
