What do you mean by cable that can be attatched?

I think me meant to say would. What he's trying to get across is that the cables that are already attached on a semi modular PSU are ones that you need anyway regardless of your computer. While this isn't always true it normally is. Basically arguing that a Semi vs Full Modular PSU are the same since you'll end up with the same amount of cables either way. Not saying this is totally accurate but I think that's what he's saying.

Thank you for given detail. I'm sorry. Some of there are vague. Anyway it is sure that Semi vs full modular PSU are nothing but just quality tools. Plus sometime full modular specifics for workstation.

your question there is useless, as you are going to say no matter what we find that it will be "lower quality" unless it is Corsair or Seasonic.
Above that, it is $79 unless you actually get the rebate back which is a very big IF.

You may say don't skip them all, but I am going to skip them all.

First of all, corsair and seasonic are not the only good brands. Silverstone, enermax, Antec, and XFX are all good too. So, you are wrong.

The next good quality 600w fully modular PSU on newegg is a silverstone and it's $115 with shipping. Thats still $35 more for literally nothing. The corsair only has a 24 pin and 4+4 pin CPU power thats non modular. What can possibly be better about the silverstone? Nothing, $35 down the toilet because the 24 pin and 8 pin can detach....WOOOT :rolleyes:

Even if you want to consider the OCZ 650w a possibility, which is lower quality but not complete crap, it's still $105 with shipping and I certainly wouldn't take an OCZ over a silverstone for $10.

And FWIW, corsair is probably the best company when it comes to mail in rebates.

It is not like we started fighting here but I will say that wolf is right about PSU. Fully modular would give more freedom and great for workstation. Plus some workstation motherboard would requirment special cable. The only one problem are If more video card, hard drive is less and if more hard drive, video card is less.

Semi Modular is good choose for gaming and affordable.

I swear everytime you want to make some kind of point it is utterly useless information.

What workstation doesn't use a 24 pin power and 4 or 8 pin CPU power? Those are the ONLY cables that are non modular on the corsair semi modular PSU.

My spare machine is a Q8200, 8800gt, and 8gb of ddr2... Haha. SO I'm close.

Also, you up there with the Q8200, that's weird, because my stock 8200 had idle temps in the 30s, if I remember correctly.

I used to own a PC with a Core 2 Quad, in fact there's a whole thread about it: http://www.computerforum.com/213586-another-re-build-thread-c2q-pc-rebuild.html it wasn't really built out of 'spare parts' though, it was my Dad's old PC before he upgraded to a 3770K but I modded the case a bit to improve cable management.

It had a Q8300, 4GB of DDR2 RAM and a 9800 GT. It's still in the house, but I ended up giving it to my brother because his PC eventually died.

Idle temps were 40-50C on the stock cooler (and at stock speeds, never OC'ed it) and at full load it hit around 70-80C on the stock cooler and stock frequency.

I think it is time for you to stop doing that. Calling people's post a useless is what they dislike.

For record. I never statement special 24 pin ATX power and 8 pin CPU. Or should I say workstation need special cable like SSI, SAS and SCSI?
 
Of course people dislike it when you say you dont like there advice. But it was useless. Any Psu can have those special cables. If its modulaur or not. Modulaur just means you can remove the cables, it has nothing to do with what cables the PSU has.
 
The whole modular vs semi vs non modular is just ridiculous. Use whatever you feel like.

I for one prefer non modular PSUs, as there is a less chance for a bad/weak connection. And I still have my Antec 650w non modular PSU that I have been using since 2006 or so that has lasted me for 3 builds and so far shows no sign of dying anytime soon. Ontop of that I use nearly all the cables it has powering 2 HDDs, SSD, DVD drive, and my video card. What few cables I dont use I was smart enough to buy a big enough case that had plenty of hiding spots for the unused cables.

And for those that remember the pictures of my PC, I think they would agree that its possible to have an ultra clean setup without any kind of modular PSU. Its all about case design.

That would be about the only reason, but again if you use a QUALITY unit there's no fear of that and with 50+ PC builds I've never had that happen.

Yes you can still make a clean install with a non modular with the right case, but if there are cables you don't use it will always be cleaner with a modular. Plus, what if you don't want some huge case? I've built many micro ATX pc's and having a modular PSU for those builds is like gold.
So again, just because YOU don't need it because you use a huge fancy case that has lots of cable managament and YOU use all the cables, the majority of other people won't use all the cables (for example I never use any molex connectors so I always want a modular PSU) and some people like smaller PC's.

Another example, a benching station. Any unused cables would just be laying there in plain site and look stupid.

The best example, mini ITX is the ultimate build in need of a modular PSU!

I want that case, looks so sleek! Has plenty of support for water cooling too! ;)

Ingenious way of water cooling. :D

:D
Wait until you see my 9600GT with custom cooling! I placed my stock amd cpu cooler on it :P
It cools good enough, idle is not very good, but the difference in temps when 10 min on full load is not much! Stays around 49°c :)
 
Sorry for the big pics. It’s been a bit of a ‘PC maintenance day’ really. I’ve just finished dusting my PC down properly for the first time in a year to help try and reduce temperatures. So here’s some photos of it outside all lovely and clean.

The pictures aren't the best, and not all of the dust is gone. This is the best I could do with some rags and a paintbrush (no compressed air).

Yeah the side panel/window is scratched but I don't care. :P

Hi Jason! :D

Pretty nice build though, new sidefan?

Nope. Nothing has really changed since I replaced my Crucial M4 with a Vertex 4 in February and that wasn't a massive visual change. ;)

I was thinking of replacing the 5870 at some point but I decided to keep it. :D
