If in case there is another suggestion or advice |

If you consider OCing and consider to add few more hardware in near future...better get Liberty 500W or 620W... but I think 500W is enough lar...anyway...need to suite your budget too...  |

Yeap that's right...
My current budget is Rm300 oni... Frankly... I like the liberty 400watt more than others... since it has nice physical appearances and cable management... and it suite my budget... The thing is, it doesn't have enough juice to support my rig if I use it extremely and will be under stress... Thus, the max power being display is up to 440watt oni... later if she(liberty) merajuk, im afraid she will damage other precious hardware. Hmm, what im going to do... I think i will go for enermax 460 or i will decide after some time... Arrrgghhh... So hard to find good PSU that suite my budget and my needs... |
