Title: Should I get a modular poser supply next time?
Post by: Geek-9pm on June 28, 2016, 02:19:23 PM

Sometime soon, I hope, I will have enough cash to build myself a new PC. I have never used a modular PSU. For my needs, a 600 to 750 watts would be plenty. But why or why not get a modular PSU? 

Has there been a consensus on this topic already?  If so, Which and Why?
Just asking...  :)

The main advantage for modular is cable control and cooling...

With modular you only connect the ones you need...freeing up unneccessary clutter in the case which leads to better ambient cooling...

That sounds good to me. Cable cable  annoys me and I want to keep my PC cool. Yes, I know that studies have shown that the ambient heat thing is not all so important. Still, I like it cool because the fans will make less noise.
So, I will go modular.   8)
