QUOTE(cactusjack @ Jul 31 2013, 01:37 PM) Rosewill look nice too. But it is hard to find seller in penang. Need to order from garage sales. I prefer buy at hikari shop, later if got anything easy to find her. Maybe next time i try rosewill. Thx for suggestion btw. new fsp aurum still looking good overall from the review, but not as good as other 80+ gold rated. as this cheaper price point i guess there's no much to complain about imo. http://www.kitguru.net/components/power-su...w-psu-review/6/In fact, 3 of them are good psu imo. btw what's your usage anyway?

Any of the above PSU u listed is decent for powering up a high-end GPU plus some oc-ing without problem.

good budget, just stretch it a bit and you can get a Seasonic 620W M12II

anyone know what is the usual warranty period for Xigmatek NRP 850w PSU? Mine just dead. Or I believe so. Tested using the Paper Clip Test, and the fan was not spinning, though a blue light did goes on for a mere second before dying again. Is the PSU dead?

Hardwaresecrets did an extensive test on the 650W variant, not sure if both are based on the same platform (my guess is that they do). It's without a doubt a very good PSU. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Ros...-Review/1460/11http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/rosew...u_review,7.html

Nice one. By the way, forget about Rosewill there's a new PSU brand which is highly reviewed on the internet will be impending by the end of August, hold your horses.
