The power supply
A power supply unit is also required to provide the power-hungry components with their lifeblood. For this project, Seasonic supported me with the Prime GX-850 Watt. This power supply is definitely not a cheap Chinese firecracker, but a high-quality power supply, which also comes from the upper shelf in terms of price in the end.
What do you get for currently around 170 Euros? An 850 watt power supply with 80+ Gold certification. What this really means in the end, Igor has already explained to us long and wide. Nevertheless, Seasonic is one of the best power supply manufacturers on the market, and that they have confidence in their own product is underlined by Seasonic’s 12-year manufacturer’s warranty!
What I personally like most is the fact that there are no Y-PCIe cables. You get 6x 6+2Pin for up to two or three GPUs. Visually, this is easier to live with than the Y-cables that are usually supplied. All cables have a sufficient length so that you can manage well even in larger cases without needing additional extensions. (You will see later on the topic of cable management)
Impressions from the assembly
The combination of Sharkoon’s vertical kit and Cablemod obviously don’t make sense from a price point of view – but bullshit! If you want to install your GPU vertically in such a case, you should – from my point of view – only get the kit from Cablemod if the GPU is to remain with the air cooler.
My cable management is not known for looking good. I couldn’t care less, as long as nothing jams and it’s clear which cable goes where. You can’t see it in the end anyway! What you can see, however, is that Seasonic’s cables offer a decent length. The best example here are the 2x EPS cables.
I’d say the PC looks pretty good, wouldn’t you? Since looks aren’t everything, we’ll now take a look at the temperatures under load and measure the volume.
