If your retailer only has CM psu's go for the Silent Pro M 600w or 700w, those are good units built by Enhance. I think the Silent Pro M 600w should be around the same price as the GX 750w.

Thanks for the advices. I have one more option, Gigabyte Odin GT 550W @ RM169. I am going to use it in a m-ATX casing so a modular PSU would help, but is this PSU any better than the ones I have mention?

Btw, I don't mind taking a non-modular ones if the quality of the PSU differs greatly and would affect the lifespan of my rig.

Between the ones previously listed and around that RM200 mark, the Gigabyte Odin GT 550W @ RM169 you're looking at is a good build and one of the best bang for buck and proven options. If you don't mind though, the 12v rail is 'split' into a total of four 12v rails mediated by over current protection, so it may require you to organize your power distribution in order to not overload any rails and trip the OCP mechanism. Aside from that, everything else is solid (including the price ).

It is out of stock at Jayacom already.

Hmm, what should I do to organize the power distribution?

Oh, any news about them restocking?

Added on May 4, 2011, 8:24 pmBtw, are there other good PSU which is modular @ the price range of RM200?

Good modular psu @ ~RM200, not that I can see. You've been spoiled with the Odin GT @ RM169, just be aware that it's not common to see something like that go for that kinda price. You'll have to see what's available locally to you and decide based on what you can buy there, unless you're willing to buy online.

Haha, yea. I am surprise to see that the Odin GT is a modular PSU when I first found out.

Btw, what should I do to organize the power distribution?

Another article about cap ayam PSU.

try ignore the GX power ! other model is still ok.

this model has been in the market for the 4th year. And indeed it is a very old product
at price of RM169, no doubt it is a clearance stock price

Why it's so hard to get the Seasonic S12-II or the M12-II these days?I've been searching in Digital Mall,Lowyat Plaza and Garage Sales section for quite some time already,in the end had to buy the Corsair CX500

Because of this

Too good.

That's the reason i'm searching for it in the first place,need to find another one.Even used units are hard to come by

can anyone recommend any psu for me? budget around 200-250..

For the rig in your siggy?
You can get Silverstone ST50F 500W.

yaya any other recommendations? i heard ppl saying seasonic is a good brand.. but the s12-II no stock Only got new silence pro series which dont have much review out there.. i guess i might need a better psu, in case i upgrade my rig later cos it is kinda on dying mood edi lolz. I saw ppl selling tagan 700w psu for rm199 in this forum, is it a good buy?

The exact model?
Anyway,for your budget i recommend these PSUs
Corsair CX500 RM219~
Silverstone ST50F-ES RM209
CM GX450 RM230~

All of them have at least 400W on the 12V rail(s)

Oh okies.. the tagan model is Tagan Dual Engine TG700-U25

hi, is cooler master silent pro series a good psu?

Only Silent Pro M is good. Silent Pro Gold except 800W is just passable. 800W is utter crap because of out of spec ripple. If what you are talking is Silent Pro Gold, go for Silverstone or Seasonic similar models instead. They are better.
