10 730W to 900W Power Supplies Compared

psu imgAnandTech compares 10 power supply units in the 730W to 900W class. The reviewed PSUs were from Hiper, Amacrox, OCZ, Antec, Coolermaster, Silverstone, and Seasonic. The price range is US$115 to US$230.

"We mentioned Cooler Master and Antec already, as both generated good results. The price difference is quite large, and even though the Cooler Master performed slightly better we recommend the Antec TruePower Quattro since it's available for 140 EUR and $170 USD. At around 145 EUR or $200 USD the OCZ ModXStream places in the middle of the group, but despite reasonable performance we can't see much reason to buy an OCZ as opposed to the less expensive Antec TruePower Quattro."

Given the price range of the 10 PSUs ($115 - $230), the Antec Truepower ($170) was actually priced somewhere in the middle price point. With similar performance ratings, I guess that's where it usually boils down - price.
