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.

Hmm.. This seriously makes me wonder... How come that chapalang can perform better.  blink.gif

the weird thing is.. Why some cap ayam PSU can performs better than those claimed to be mid-range psu powerlogic or icute,  in term of OC?

like i said earlier in my post.. how come my cap ayam 220w dunno is true or wat power can OC till 3.06 n play games while the powerlogic which is 80w higher with 300w TRUE/ PURE power cannot... once start 3d.. pc restarts.. which means the senior members are telling lies? powerlogic is CAP ITIK?  laugh.gif

On senior member here:
- there's those who might be teenage noobies spending his ample free time reading post ,repeating them to collect postcounts while surfing friendster trying to buaya someone
- there could be those who knows what they're talking about but hardly post.

On O/C:
- Frankly, I have no freakin idea but that's the thing with o/c...it's such a mystery. Hahahaha. Seriously, my old barton and my current winchester does seem to lose its overclockability over time. Conclusion --> I dunno tongue.gif

On quality:
- High quality component: They ship millions and have a single digit failure rates. It'll suck if you bought one unit that fell into this failure rate. They're more expensive.

- On Ayam quality component: They ship thousands of units and have double digit failure rates. You'll untung bersih if you bought a unit that DIDN'T fall into this failure rate. They're cheaper

Well, many seniors also using the PowerLogic products and claim its good for its value.. Mana tahu is CAP ITIK value..  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif

I've said this many times before already... everything cost money wan.

Situation 1:

a) 500W psu --> $200
b) 500W psu --> $400 but proven to rock

Obviously the $200 one is not really up to job despite what the box says and how many real power, truepower bullsh1t it's got on its labels.

Alternatively... Situation 2:

a) PSU with proven track record cost --> $300
b) PSU with LED bling bling, sleeving, show off name * --> $280

= Psu B have to save cost from somewhere. In this industry, even 10cent also can kira until die wan so if there's a price gap....especially if its big. There's usually a reason why.

this thread seems not really that active anymore, but i would just like to ask something(related to the PSU issue eventhough rigmaster already got his answers).

Is there any possibility that Powerlogic is actually Colorsit, just different brand. As we see, Colorsit too has an Atrix Casing which Powerlogic has.
Btw, answering a question i forgotten by whom on this thread regarding the weight of the powerlogic casing after Amedion stated it was heavy, the Atrix 500 PSU actually has a plastic casing, if i have not mistaken. Does this really add weight to the PSU itself?

Btw, i haven't seen anyone talk about Tagan here, any views on Tagan PSU?
*
Tagan's are a Topower brand.

Very decent stuffs just that I didn't really like the new ones with the "switchable" single or split rail....sounds very suspicious.
