Leadex Silver (non Eco). Or you can increase budget for Corsair TX 650M. It stomps all the PSUs at this price range.

Is there a way to check the real time amount of wattage my pc is drawing?

You need to buy the wall socket tester from electronic shop.

FOCUS PLUS and GPU potential compatibility issues
QUOTE
We have been notified, in limited instances, where some issues may occur when a FOCUS power supply is used in conjunction with certain high power consumption GPU or brand of VGA cards. If you experience possible compatibility issues, please check the below information and contact us for further assistance:

FOCUS PLUS & ASUS GTX970 STRIX: In very limited instances black screen may occur under heavy VGA usage. Current testing showed that certain VGA cards may emit higher than normal ripple when under heavy load and using a modified PCIe cables with enhanced shielding resolved the issue.

FOCUS PLUS & Vega 56/64: For units with serial numbers before January 2018, in rare instances, possible system shutdown may occur when GPU is under heavy load. This is possibly caused by higher than normal peak current emitted by this particular range of GPU's when under heavy load triggering the PSU’s internal protection safety.

Hye can recommend me budget around rm150-rm230. Before this using fsp hexa+ 550w can tahan 3 years only. Now looking with 5 years warranty.

Hi, just wanted to know how was your experience with the fsp.

I previously had one, using for a couple of years (should be 3 years plus), then had a mobo failure followed by ram and processor. Not gaming pc btw

In the end, I just got a new one PC and no more headache.

The irony is I spent RM200+ to replace my AVF PSU to the FSP to prevent this problem in the first place doh.gif

Hey guys, so i recently bought a pre built pc that comes with a Deepcool DA700 power supply unit (link below ) but the cable for power adapter it comes with is not for Malaysian power socket.

Im assuming in terms of compatiblity power wise it should not be a problem. But I want to buy another power supply adapter that can fit into a Malaysian socket.

My question is, is there any specification I need to be aware of? In terms of voltage or whatnot?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help

Majority of the PSU sold here is compatible. Just that it depends how much you are willing to spend. You get what you pay for the same power level. 500W at RM350 definitely will stomp 500W at RM150 due to hardware quality, significantly better performance and cleaner electricity.

I intend to keep the power supply unit. Just looking to replace to power cable from PSU to electrical socket. Worried that there are some specs that I need to take note of. The power supply is working, but I can't bear to always needing a universal adapter to plug into the socket wink.gif

DA700 is 100-240V. Yes, you can even change the cable to use our socket.

Hexa is entry level, but if stand many years also good already.

Sometimes it's not PSU problem, it's our house electrical circuit having issue.

Maybe. Just had new power outlets installed just for the new pc too.

Should have noticed when my pc started having kernel power failure on event viewer.

How long so you use your entry level psu btw?

I'm planning change the PSU in my new pc after a few months of use.

Not confident with fsp hexa model ( I think use about 3-5 years, can't remember exactly.)

It has worldwide power input i.e. 100-240V as TristanX said, so all you need is either an universal adapter, or buy a power supply cable here (note that the power cables used by PC power supplies are IEC C13/C14 cables) icon_idea.gif

Just a heads up:

For those who want to read actual PSU reviews (like those reviews TechPowerup made), the well-known Chinese reviewer Expreview has started his own site:
http://www.fcpowerup.com

itocp.com is also a good one too, and these two websites often review PSUs that are not sold in western markets (usually such units are sold here as well) icon_idea.gif

This website is a good one for PSU platforms too icon_idea.gif
