I've just looked up at the FSP Hexa 500W that is usually recommended here, and I saw this: "Capxon LP Primary capacitor". I thought that Capxon is not generally not recommended?

QUOTE(chocobo7779 @ Jan 8 2014, 09:26 PM) Why would you want a lower wattage unit when you can get a better one? im asking on behalf of my friend. he is low on budget.. so i would like to find an affordable.. i already persuade him to buy fsp hexa 500W but he don't have that much budget.. You can have room for better GPU...

It is a good PSU OEMed by Seasonic, and within your budget.Use to power up 2xgtx460 currently and future (SLI/CFX and moderate OC) and pc running 14+ hrs or more everyday. Thank you It is more than enough to support your system. If you came across V750s, it is also acceptable, but it isn't OEMed by Seasonic. This post has been edited by Human10: Jan 13 2014, 11:30 AM |

If this is the case, I take V700 instead.It is more than enough to support your system. If you came across V750s, it is also acceptable, but it isn't OEMed by Seasonic. Edit: the downside of V700's peripheral only 4 cables. This post has been edited by cloud97: Jan 13 2014, 11:58 AM |

Click this link,scroll down abit till u see FSP,where it says FSP psus that's bad. http://johnnylucky.org/power-supplies/psu-lemon-list.html Let's see what JonnyGuru said : http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=...Story6&reid=341 QUOTE What's our total score then? 6.5. Not great, but again... think about the market this is intended for. Does Cousin Bob need 1% regulation and stupid low ripple to check his email, update his Facebook status, and play a round of Minecraft on his low end GPU? No, he does not. Anyway, you get what you paid. |

Also is low ripple, while not a must for daily use, affect full blown gaming with your GPUs running at full tilt at any way?
