Looking for New power supply

[Junglerog]

The news about Gene Maximus IV mean i can start working on my rig again quite soon.

I use Lian Li V354 case and in order to get a proper air flow I will have to get rid of as much cabling as I can.

I was thinking about just customizing my HX850 but longer i think about it, more I am keen to get look for new power supply which would fit my build better.

I will be running heavily overclocked 2500k and overclocked gtx570. In the future i will probably add another 570 if I feel that 1 is not enough, so power wise I am looking for something around 800-850watt to be on the safe side.

Ideally the PSU would have a fan at the rear, at this moment with my HX850 I have a choice of either exhaust into my GPU or wall of the case. Not the great choice here. If I won't find anything with rear fan I might consider to customize the case with a small side window just for the PSU fan but I would like to avoid it.

It would be nice if it was kept in black/red scheme to match with other hardware.

It can be modular or non, doesn't matter really since I have to suit the cables to fit.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Cheers.

PSU fans blow out mate as in outside the chassis, it doesnt draw in cold air from the back

Tom, I am not sure you understood where the problem lays.

The PSU in Lian Li PC-V354 is positioned sort of on the side of the GPU so, if i leave my HX 850 in, I have two options;

1) have my PSU blow out directly into my GPU

2) or if I spin the PSU by 180 degrees into the side of the case.

None off above is a good solution. I could create the opening to the side of the case for the air blowing out but i would like to avoid it.

The PSU with a fan blowing the air to the back would solve my problem I think.

I hope it's a bit clearer now.

PSUs don't blow out air mate. The fan sucks in air and the air is vented through the honeycomb vents at the back of the PSU. If you position the HX850 with the fan towards the GPU it will suck in air around the GPU, it won't blow on to it. If you spin it round, as the case doesn't have vents/holes to suck air in from outside the case this could cause a problem if there isn't sufficient air flow.

I would say see if there is enough space between the side panel and the PSU so it can take it air, if there isn't position it facing towards the GPU, which may also help take out the hot air inside the case, just make sure you have sufficient air flow at the front of the case.

Thanks mate then for enlightening me

. I've better double check it. It means one of my worries gone, great stuff.
