heheh..ur right..thanks 4 the good advise... ..

Could Silver Stone SST-ST400 support HD5750?

Just wondering, how do we know if a PSU is true power PSU or not?
Seasonice silence pro series are true power psu?
Also, Gold, Silver and Bronze, is there really a difference for PSU?

Yes, it will be able to.

You can determine whether a power supply is a true power power supply or not by checking its 12V rail.

An example of a non-true power power supply :



This is the label of the Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500W power supply.

Notice that the 12V rail's combined Ampere is 36A, but the output wattage is only 360W. If you try calculating its total wattage by using the formula ( 12V x 18A )², you're supposed to get 432W. However, the label states that it outputs only 360W.

To find out true ( A ) that this power supply has on its 12V rails, you can do so by taking 360W and dividing it by 12V, and you'll get yourself 30A, which is the true (A) that the power supply can output. 36A would be its peak wattage then.

An example of a true power power supply :



This is the label of the Cooler Master Silent Pro M 600W power supply.

It has a single 12V rail, and that the 12V rail can output a total of 40A. Now to find out if it's true, you perform the same calculation above, by taking 480W and dividing it by 12V. It gets you 40A .

For the "Gold, Silver and Bronze thing", it's there to indicate how efficient the power supply is. The best rating would be Platinum, next would be gold, then Silver then Bronze. The higher it is, the more efficient the power supply is.

guys anyone know Silverstone Strider Plus 600w warranty how long?

Does the PSU calculator show the power rating wattage of the PSU or the wattage that the pc is actually using?

hi all,

i would like to ask, why is this lower watt PSU is more expensive than the hoer 1?

Huntkey Jumper 550W Modular RM285
Huntkey APFC 700W HK700-52PP RM229

and is huntkey a realiable brand?

Thanks

OK, cool. With a decent 500W PSU will do.
Like FSP Saga II 500W - RM165 / Silverstone Strider Essential 500W - RM199 (AllIT) or Seasonic Silence PRO 500W - RM199 (C-Zone)

500w enough to drive 460?
cool...

hi im planning to upgrade my PC.. but i dont wanna change my psu.. im using cooler master extreme power 460... my pc will be core i3 550 n 2 sata HDD n HD5850.. can this psu drive my PC spec?? or i need to upgrade to Cooler master GX5xx series...

No, you can't. You need a 500W True Power PSU to run it.

Your CM EPP 460W continuous output is only 312W.

Avoid CM GX series! Well known for it's high ripple that will kill your hardwares.

what the best PSU for this solution my budget rm200++ only..

Go with the Seasonic Silence Pro 500W at RM199 from C-Zone .

SilverStone Strider Essential 500w RM239 or Gigabyte Superb RM179 can???

The Seasonic Silence Pro 500W is better than those two units you have stated.
