Nope, their V series are very good PSUs...
The V700/V850/V1000 units are based on Seasonic's KM3 platform, which is the basis for Seasonic X series units.

The Enhance-built VS series aren't bad as well...

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?

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.. 
owh... tq for highlighting this.. i shall avoid buying theese psus 

Hi sifus, any good recommended 750W gold certified PSU with semi-modular (or better fully modular as long as withind budget) under RM550 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's rather ambitious to expect a cheap price for that kind of quality.

why for some reason i don't see much mentioning CM gold PSU?
Last time silent pro gold quite gooding also. the V700 i got recently also doing great for my gtx660 SLI config.

Some interesting findings on the Cooler Master VS series units.

In the TechPowerUp review, the V550S has Su'scon and Teapo caps on the secondary.

However, when this unit is launched in the US, the press release showed:
Then I emailed Cooler Master's support team for confirmation and they confirmed that all retail versions of the VS series use 100% Japanese capacitors.


BTW, Idealtech has brought in an improved version of the GXII, called the GX II Pro, and the 750W variant only cost RM359 (RM319 on offer)... not a bad price tag after all...

Post pic later to prove...

The new Cooler Master V750 with 100% Japanese caps:

Panasonic capacitors as the main hold up capacitors, with Chemi-con, Rubycon, Suncon (Sanyo) electrolytic capacitors.  There's also an Unicon polymer capacitor on the PSU as well.  Unicon is a lesser known manufacturer of capacitors for your information.

Just made aware FSP Raiders are available in both Bronze and Silver 80-Plus rated. The pricing is not fixed for both items, some vendor sells the old Bronze model higher that the Silver.

Although I don't pay too much attention on the 80-Plus thing but I still want to get the best out of my bucks.

Even a 300w would suffice for that, get a good 400w would work just fine.

can try the FSP Hexa 450w / 550.

Thank in advance all...

Thanks for your advise... if buy around.600watts will it cause to any part ?

Sorry for the noob question

Ya, i read alot forum and people say bout this series are the bad 1. I brought this power supply many years ago, so i think time to change, FSP Hexa+550W should b ok?

The Q&A thread was closed, so I ask here:

I see my motherboard has two ATX power cables. One is 24pin, another is 8 pin.

Does that mean my motherboard requires me to plug 8pin also?
Mobo requires that much voltage ah...

Oh, i see.
I found the 8 pin coming from my psu.
I thought i would have to go buy one.
Thanks!
