Sometimes,some people think that PSUs with "CrapXon" and "Chepo" caps is fine..just fine... tongue.gif Which is not true. tongue.gif
You can try to bump up 70 ringgit to get Seasonic X-650 or the Rosewill Capstone 650M.. icon_idea.gif brows.gif

Actually, it's fine la. I used a mixed bag of Samxon and Teapo caps in my GS600 also no issue. Even the highly recommended FSP Hexa IINM also uses Capxon as its main hold up cap, along with other Capxon and Teapo in its secondary. sweat.gif And last I recalled, you seem to recommend FSP Hexa 500W for some of your builds also. So now, which is true? hmm.gif I also have another Hexa 500W (more than 3 years) still kicking in my rig. wink.gif
*
Well yeah true..i do recommend FSP Hexa 500W if the budget isn't enough for a PSU like Seasonic S12II 80+ bronze 620W. smile.gif
i guess it all depends on luck with PSUs huh? hmm.gif

Same with pretty much everything else in your rig. Important point to consider would be the warranty, and how well the manufacturer is going to honor it. I think so far FSP, Seasonic, Corsair, CM all are ok.

Alright,noted.Thanks. icon_rolleyes.gif notworthy.gif

Maybe want to save cost? And 80+ Gold certification might be a good marketing gimmick.

Some interesting findings on Cooler Master units:

There's actually another variant of the CM GX II series, dubbed the GX II Pro, which appears to be an improved version of the GX II.  The GX II Pro units have full Japanese capacitors, which is pretty surprising, considering the GX II wasn't considered a very good power supply for the price. 

However, it is only sold in some Asia Pacific markets, Taiwan for example. tongue.gif

RubyCon ZLH caps on the secondary... icon_idea.gif

It might challenge the S12II if it's available in Malaysia i guess.. tongue.gif tongue.gif

That is a good PSU. nod.gif

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... brows.gif

Oh wow..what the heck tPU!! biggrin.gif

I saw the price..just get it if u wanna.. brows.gif
