i wonder, what true power psu did u guys bought
is it well known brand like CM, Enermax, OCZ etc ?
or juz some random brand with "true power" tag
even branded like acbel have low end n mid/high end range..
dont expect low end to perform as great as mid/high end range

u get what u pay for

Seriously, who the heck is powerlogic anyway? Mid-range psu? Brand?

Haven't heard of them anywhere except Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Google also can't find anything useful

I'm not insulting you. Don't think it as such please. Just trying to clarify things only.

I'm just curious how come there's a lot of forumers (even some supposedly senior ones) recently that claims Powerlogic as a good mid range psu and that it's better than Icute.

Is it because Powerlogic sounds more western compared to Icute?

I've been googling out of curiousity and couldn't find anything about it except that it's by a Singaporean disty Leapfrog and that it only appears in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

It can simply be some cheap-a$$ generic china sweatshop product stuck with a label.

Could anybody help clarify?

Thanks.

well, a protip in getting psu's
1. get the ones with wattage suitable to ur rig. the more W the better. for future device add in
2. at least got few reviews on particular psu, n user feedbacks
3. high Ampere on each rail, esp 12v rail [where proc n devices suck power most]
4. ..
5. profit

i used to love powerlogic. cause the name sounds so professional. not to mention they offer the cheapest bang for bucks psu. but once i got hold of one. disaster struck. lost one HD due to power problems. this really causes a set back. more over when i asked opinions from my friends, they say Sonic Gear is good in making marketing strategy. professional names and professional packing will really caught the customer's eye. their statement on where pure power and max power will confuse most consumer into thinking the ability of the psu can be maxed out on such a low price. In short i fell for their trap.

based on experience, i personally think i-cute can do better than power logic. My MEC 300w is now officially on my friend's p4 and it's still running till today.

now i think the best way to know a good psu is to judge by its weigh if you're too noob to judge PSU. good psu are ultra heavy

for ur info i've tried using CM.. yes CM...
to be precise.. CM ACLX 450W.. cannot powerup my system.. weird eh?
even using 400W chap keretapi berapi is no sweat..
is it becoz of the dual rail?
haih.. these days buying PSU also base on luck..

Im using CM Real Power 450W ALCX and it work flawlessly. Until recently it struggle to supply enough power fo my overclocked CPU and new X1800GTO. The cheapest solution is use cap tikus PSU 350W just to power my X1800GTO but still it isnt enough for my X1800GTO.

The reason why your overclock drop is because of lousy PSU, you called that a good PSU? If you realiy want a reliable overclock buy something more expensive and better like Enermax, OCZ, PC Power & Cooling and Antec. Those are high quality and reliable PSU maker. I'll buy Enermax FMA 535W PSU if my budget allows. If LYP sold PC Power & Cooling PSU I'll buy one even though it super expensive. Remember that cheap thing no good and good thing not cheap

I believe in your system a CM Real Power 450W is enough, but if you can afford the 550W SLI is even better.

So many words....headache....didn't read.... but the Force flows strong in you.

Most of all...u totally tar pau'ed me in terms of hardware purchases.

Mine was...over past 3 years.

3 mobos, 3 processors, 4GB of rams, 4 psu's, 3 casings, countless fans, 6 vga HSFs, ~10 cpu HSF (lost count)...and get this... 8 VGA's!!!!
