QUOTE(Cable707 @ Mar 25 2013, 11:46 PM) Built by CWT, but the platform is based on Chieftec GPA platform (one of the lowest end platform without going into cap ayam units). It is also known for using questionable caps (Fuhyjju and Asia-X, which is known for premature failure of older Antec PSUs) |

A better built unit than the CM one, and it's 80+ Gold certified. and btw, if crossfire 7850, how many W of PSU is recommended? 2x HD7850 would need a quality 550-600W unit, though I'd go for a bit more since capacitors age over time, decreasing the maximum amount of wattage the unit can produce. |

QUOTE(SoZa @ Jun 3 2013, 09:05 PM) ooh... do you think 500 watt is an overkill? i don't plan to overclock and i hope i can save a bit more money using lower wattage PSU. from which shop actually i can find that psu you recommended? Do not skimp on PSUs... It's crucial to have a quality unit around.It's good to have extra wattage since capacitors degrade over time, reducing the wattage the unit can supply. Garage Sales seller do carry them. Try asking lingloong, CyntrixTech and Idealtech for that. |
