Rig specs? Possibly the unit has been overloaded...
Note that the 550W Real Power has only 360W on the +12V rail...

sorry i got very limited knowledge on psu, and my rig is :

intel g2020
2 x 4gb ram
ati radeon asus 7950
hdd
dvd rom
asrock b75m-dgs r2.0
550W Real Power

how to make sure or test it is overloaded ?

actually i saw the website write there 40'c same with others brand psu.
i am worry if buy another psu also having the problem.
what is you psu temperature ?


thanks

7950? No wonder la...
You should get a quality unit... Most likely the unit is operating at nearly full load...
The unit may not be able to deliver the rated power at rated temperatures...

I'm surprised that your unit still survives...

My power supply is dead quiet and runs very cool though... It's a Seasonic Gold rated unit BTW...

ya,its full load.
and i am tight budget,and saw the requirement for 7950 is 500w.
since i dont have many hdd or fan so i bought this unit.

do i need to get good brand or high watt psu to solve this problem ?
planning to get corsair cx500

CX500 is old stuff. I don't think you can find it already.

Quality 500W power supply...
How about the Super Flower Golden Green HX 500W for RM249 from GBRos@Garage Sales?

icic,looking for psu.
Super Flower Golden Green HX 500W RM249
corsair cx500 RM199.
i guess the corsair is fit the my budget.
do u have others suggestion without RM200 ?
thanks thanks

Not much really... There's the Antec VP550 Strictly, but unfortunately no distributor carry them anymore...
The Super Flower unit is better though, and don't skimp on the PSU as this is the 'heart' of your system unit... If it fails and the unit is a cap ayam unit, then your hardware may risk damage...

i am using cooler master 550w,this is not cap ayam and enough watt but why i change to antec vp550,Super Flower Golden Green HX 500W ,corsair cx 500 can solve the heat problem ?

Not cap Ayam, but the fact is the Real Power series isn't a decent unit.... CX series aren't good either... You are paying for the Corsair brand only..
Most likely the unit is overheating is the fact that the PSU fan used isn't decent, or the fan controller itself is bad.

icic,this coolemaster's fan speed is automatic increase and very noisy.
so i abit very to get Super Flower Golden Green because i never heard this brand before.
gonna research this psu after i go home,looking for used unit at garage sales.

please suggestion me a psu
for full load 24/7,budget rm200 and rig as below...thanks expert .
intel g2020
2 x 4gb ram
ati radeon asus 7950
hdd
dvd rom
asrock b75m-dgs r2.0

Athlon ii x3 3.1ghz
Asrock 970 extreme 3
Wd 1tb, 500gb, 160gb
sapphire r9 280x toxic
8gb of ram

hye guys i would like to ask if Cooler Master Extreme II 625W enough for above specs?

since this is a PSU thread.. i want to ask a question
my PSU is CORSAIR AX1200I
owned it +- 1 year
today i completed my build
during setting up my pc(i mean installing driver and bla bla bla, i accidently touched my GPU heatsink and i feel electric shock. To confirm this i bought a test pen to check if the current is there. The buzzing sound from the PSU is loud and clear. I got 4 fan inside my case and still hear the buzzing of my PSU.
some people say buzzing sound is normal, but the current leak is abnormal i think..

here some pic i took



need advice..

thanks

Current leak is indeed abnormal, strongly suggest u stop using that PSU now. It may further damage your other components with that current leakage throughout any metal contact. I suspect there's something went wrong with the grounding terminal inside the PSU or perhaps current portection/sensor spoiled.
Small buzzing that happen occasionally is normal during low load, pc start up or shutdown. But loud is surely something wrong .

so RMAing back is the best choice eh?

Yes, unless u are confident to fix it.

thanks for your respond boss..
