Hello,
Which producent has better high-end PSU serie?

I have i6700k, 970GTX, Asus Maximus VIII Hero Z170, 32GB DDR4, overclocked. Will extend it in the next year for SLi 2xPascals, 64GB ram.
850W/860W is enough or should I aim higher?

We cant comment on Pascal power draw matey - till its out we wont know.
 
It seems like Pascal will be made in 16 nm architecture, where Maxwell is at 28 nm. That could mean lower power consumption but then again they can put more stream processors (and other units) in it so it can have similar or little higher consumption.

That said, I believe that good quality 850 W PSU would be enough for every 2x SLI.
AXi has best voltage regulation but it's louder than Dark Power 11 and HXi. HXi is probably best choice out of three, if silence matters to you.

Seasonic Platinum is very good PSU, too, so if it's cheaper than other three you should consider it.
 
I had HX520 and was quite, and overall i liked that psu. Although one PEG cable lost voltage in it o,O i have had to switch to molex as a additional power supply source for my graphics card.
 
If you can just wait a little bit longer till all the information you need is in then make your choice if you can't wait the Corsair or Superflower or similar would do you well
 
I would always recommend Superflower Leadex PSU's and the Corsair RMi series is well worth a look here too mate :)
 
Why RMi serie?
because they have had some really good reviews but I upgraded to a Superflower earlier this year and our Corsair forum rep Mr Grey_Beard is just such a nice man and helps you where he can with an RMA :) now thats quality customer service :cool:

Very nice of you to say this :) Thanks. But yeah, RMi = quality PSU ;)
