QUOTE(lex @ Nov 23 2012, 09:08 PM) 460W GX? Or is that Extreme Power Plus 460W? As far as I know, Cooler Master GX series has 450W model and not 460W. Anyway, if that is Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 460W model then that PSU is actually 80%+ efficient (even though it was not labeled as 80+ certified). For your information, actual continuous wattage of that Extreme Power Plus 460W model is 420W. As for the GigaByte PoweRock 390W, it may be hard to find nowadays as GigaByte released the newer PowerRock EX series (which is not true wattage, and not 80+ certified unlike the original PoweRock series).  Sorry my bad, it's elite power/extreme 460w  The exact model is RS-460-PCAR-J3 and the label saying the output for 12v trail is 324w, and max output is 377.9w.  Been using this psu for 2 years +- d and so far no issue. lol So should I hunt for better yet cheap psu, or cont using this psu. This post has been edited by ckalvin: Nov 23 2012, 09:46 PM |

QUOTE(lex @ Nov 23 2012, 09:52 PM) This model is actually manufactured by FSP. You can read the a of that PSU here: Hardware Secrets » Power » Cooler Master Elite Power 460 W Power Supply Review. Its not bad, and does have roughly between 76.2% and 81.3% efficiency. Again, the actual wattage of this PSU is 420W. However as long as you do not pull the maximum 420W from this PSU (which causes ripples to exceed standard specifications), then everything should be fine. Good to hear that. But look at below link , my psu model is RS-460- PCAR-J3.... I am now confused, which series is my psu category under? eXtreme Power Plus 460W : RS-460-PCAR-A3 linkElite Power 460w : RS-460-PSAR-J3 link |

QUOTE(lex @ Nov 23 2012, 10:18 PM) Most likely Elite Power series for Cooler Master OEM casings. Even though the UL number points to "Cooler Master" (which does not manufacture PSUs at all!), the actual OEM of the PSU should be FSP. The eXtreme Power Plus models have a different UL number pointing to AcBel as OEM... OIC. thanks for your thorough explaination!!  no wonder when I bought that time the seller din't give me any box, just sealed with wrapping plastic only, probably someone bought the casing and don't want the casing.... (that time I am still very noob in hardware, everything make sense now) I think I will cont using this psu, since my pc only require 200++ watt, hehe. Thanks again.  |
