at first i've tried to on the pc normally in order to enter bios but nothing happen .... then i've try the psu with my brother's pc and nothing happen also ... so i got the answer la ... psu kong ... i geuss the psu is oredi 2 years old la since i've notived my cpu-z validator dated Nov 2007 ... now searching for cheapo psu only coz just for surfing mostly and i think wanna go for Huntkey 450W at RM 160.00 with postage .. hope it's worth ...

sang,get Huntkey for your budget? Maybe you can consider CM550 extreme power too.

yeah ray ... wanna buy budget psu only since just for surfing only and i got no high end hardware inside that required more power to run ... but i will listened to any comment about any psu recommended before buying ... need feedback also for wise buy ...

sang, i think the CM550 extreme power is around that price too. You may check from the price list from lyn.

yeah oredi check ... for 550W it's aroung RM200 and for 500W it's around RM180 ... will try to search the price at my area first ... looking for good bargain ...

IS Huntkey brand really that reliable? It is a better unit that Cooler Master extreme power?

For something which is cheap and offers lot of Power. Something is a miss

I've heard lots of horror stories with Huntkey

Wah ... dun really know about that ... then i should go for CM Extreme Power la ... thanks for ur feedback guys ... help me a lot ...

sang,finally made a better choice. Don't think of saving about 30bucks and you will need another replacement again sooner or later.

agree

there's a saying that; cheapskates always pays twice!

Karim just proved something to us, even the 'expensiveskates' can't get away form paying twice. haha

That is true, cheap psu is risky just the matter of time when it will give us headache. Actually I thinking to change my psu too, not at this moment as I just ordered the 320gb sata hdd for my audio/visual storage. Just want to rid of IDE cabling that giving me a really eyesore each time I look into the side panel....

help needed ... somene suggest me FSP ATX 500 Watts *SAGA II *12cm Fan which is better than CM Extreme Power 550w ... comment please guys ...

FSP is good stuff, can't go wrong with it!

after a little bit of survey .... CM win due to this :

FSP Output Connectors : MAIN 20+4.PIN, P4 4.PIN, (2) SERIAL.ATA, (6) MOLEX 4.PIN, (2) FDD 4.PIN, (1) PCI-EXPRESS 6.PIN

CM Extreme Power Output Connectors : M/B 20+4Pin x1, CPU 4+4Pin x1, PCI-E 6+2Pin x2, Peripheral 4Pin x3, SATA x6, Floppy 4Pin x1

both info got from website but dunno if they already update the connectors ...

*Update info :

FSP Output Connectors : Main (20+4PIN), 4Pin+12V Power (4+4PIN), 4Pin Floppy (1), S-ATA (4), 4Pin (4), PCI-Express (6PIN, 6+2PIN)

now really got headache what to choose ...

sang,your decision is going for CM or FSP? How much is FSP 500w ?

sombady approaching me selling fsp 500w for RM200 ... quite a bargain buy also with 80% effeciency compare to CM only 70% .... still thinking here ... what do u thing ray?

if FSP is new and have warranty, go for it. if it's 2nd hand with no manufacturer warranty, go for new CM PSU.

it's new with 3 years warranty ... that what the buyer told me lar .... maybe go for FSP psu pulak la ..

my iCute cheapskate PSU still fine.. touch wood... everything else has died except it , lol

now going into its 8th year liao

for a cap ayam brand, iCute actually can be considered as Grade AA already. But in the end also, see luck lo. ;D
