Considering most Huntkey PSUs (V-Power and Green Star) actually exploded when loaded...  So yeah, Huntkey doesn't really make good PSUs...  However some of them are surprisingly good.  (especially the Jumper series)

How do I test my PSU ? Really out of budget to get a new PSU.

My rig currently is problematic, ramdom freeze, sometimes can't even turn on, I need to on and off the switch multiple times in order to get the PC on. hmm.gif

I am not sure problem with the mobo or the PSU.

How to test that my PSU is dying/problematic or still going strong ?

You'd need a PSU load tester and an oscilloscope.... You can't really test the PSU straight away. Try getting another PSU to try it...

The simplest way is to get another power supply that is working properly and put it into your system.

Check out this bad boy. PC Power & Cooling Silencer MK III 1200 W. Pretty good PSU for 1k watt.

Your issue reminds me of the time when I had to deal with a motherboard that took 5 minutes to boot up. So it's possible that your motherboard is semi-faulty, considering that it was affected by lightning. Your best bet is to bring the system to a shop to test the motherboard and/or the power supply. It would be even better if you could get your friend to borrow you their parts since IT shops' diagnostic is sometimes false and is usually accompanied with new parts recommendations.

Just use your PSU watts/PSU Efficiency X time X TNBrates. That should do the max amount of bill. Note: Not including speaker & monitor and others device such as printer/modem.

Please update your list. Coolermaster GX and GX Lite is crap. Only Coolermaster GX Bronze is decent.

Also, you have Flextronics, Enhance Electronics and Sirfa for the manufacturer.

Example 500W/0.8 X 15Hour per day X 31 Days = 290625 watts = 290.625 kwh

Bills = 21.8 + 90.625 x 0.334 = 21.8 + 30.26 = RM 52 for max pow consumption

I can't really recommend the GX Bronze due to those units suffer from quality issues... plus the price tag alone can give you a better, higher quality units...

For the OEM, I cannot state all of them before my whole post becomes wall of text already.. tongue.gif

UPDATE: For those who seeking for Seasonic X-Series PSU, note that the new batch of X-650, X-750 etcc will have new features compare to the previous version (X-660, X-760 etc).

-New modular cables (IINM like corsair AX series, no more braided sleeve one)
-Hybrid configuration switch, the switch is at the PSU itself in which you can set your PSU configuration either in hybrid mode or normal mode.

Its not bad, can deliver full power but at this point the ripple are highest. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=...Story3&reid=158 What the price and your location. Maybe can recommend other better PSU.

Lets say in this scenario

FSP Hexa 500w @ Rm149

Xigmatek Go Green 600w @Rm149 (Brand new but no warranty)

Which will give perform better? I dont really mind about warranty cos i'll be sleeving it and i will have to open the insise since its non modular. And i will be voiding the wattanty anyway.
