Well, i was about to purchase the Element 500W last time out due to the great amount of recommendation given and amazing review but recently, the stop the production of the Element for the Strider.I will definitely get the Strider 560W but not now..The CM Real Power 450W is serving me good but i wanted a more reliable one..As far as i can see, i wanted something that is modular and might be cheap but there aint one..So, the Strider 560W is definitely my best choice now..

12V rails fluctuate about +/-5% is normal.

5% of 12V should be 0.6V right? but my almost of time it stay at 11.19V, the different is 0.81V, so still consider normal? Before I change to Pentium D 820, the +12V is at 11.49V... so in case I add in Palit 7600GS PCI-e, and 1or 2GB DDR2, it still can handle? I hope it can, otherwise I will need to change PSU again... doh.gif

Anyway, thanks for the reply... notworthy.gif

No doubt for tight budget, CM Extreme is a nice choice.. but after some forumers die or explode their CM Extreme PSU and one of them post me the pic, now i dont recommend CM Extreme alrdy. Moreover CM = ACbel, so i rather get an ACbel.
In term of Price/Performance i would rather go for SilvStone 400w than CM Extreme.

Do you ever think why a psu will blow up? Its because of the faulty psu or more on user's wrong doing like overdose on their psu? The extreme is suitable for those which on normal usage. with a good pricing where you can get below rm150. And if you think you can get miracle for less than rm150, you yourself is already a miracle then. I would always recommend things base on user usage instead, such as no point asking someone to get most high end pc if its only used for normal office work and some casual gaming.

Situation you mentioned is just like you saw a proton car being thrash like junk in an accident and would you ever get your butt into a proton car anymore?

Since he dint set his budget yet, sure im gonna recommend him some better stuff instead of CM Extreme. Its different story with your fren's rig...
For low budget PSU i still think Silverstone Element 400w is a steal.
This PSU comes with A.PFC, Stable 12V rails, High eff. and nice cooling which CM Extreme cannot offer. nod.gif

CM Extreme 450W: RM 160
Silverstone 400W: Rm 199

Base on rough calculation, you need 380W to power them, unbranded PSU normally don't tell the exact watt produced, you need to check on the amp produced.

Enermax FMA 350W should be good if youre going to buy 350Watter...or else, ACbel 450W is a good buy too...(although, i don't really recommend that...) but since there werent any other choice in getting good PSU to power up some old PC like yours...

FYI, i used to have PowerLogic Atrix 500T (500W), Dual-Rail...but failed on me on every part, randomly shut-down, continuous instability even though not into overclocking...till i switched to Enermax FMA 350W (i'm just testing whether is it due to my PSU or not -- so i just bought a cheap Enermax FMA series)...guess what...after 10 months using it, 24/7 Folding/BT-ing...still rock stable...not to mention, i'm on 60% overclocked system rig...(not that good, but considered a 350W PSU)... PowerLogic Atrix 500T @RM165, while Enermax FMA 350W @RM169...

Yup.. agree. FMA 350w is good. If want 400w then can try Silverstone Element 400W. Only cost RM 200 at lyn bulk

FMA 350w is nice.
But if choose between Powerlogic and ACbel, then i think i will get ACbel.
CM iGreen is a ACbel too. Atleast ACbel make PSU for CM.

Is Silverstone 400W good at LYN bulk?12V1 with 14A (Max) and 16A (Peak) is it a total of 30A or 12V1 14A 12V2 15A and total 29A?

Between this 4 Enermax Liberty 400W, Enermax FMA II 460W and Silverstone 400W, Fortron FSP SAGA 400W, which is worth your wallet?
