Here's an article that might be of interest:

105 PSUs reviewed

i dunno whether i want to buy a psu yet...hehe...

hey, anyone used before da i-cute modular psu? izzit pure power? looks cheap but dun knw reliable or not.

Many people would not recommend getting ICute PSU if possible.TOo many reliability issue..

thatz for the normal psu of theirs. this 1 cost 2xx. modular. so wanna know whoz using it.

well,powerlogic and aku comel is a branded chapalang psu.....

IS THIS NORMAL ?

I KNOW ICUTE PSU IS WORSE.
btw, i am using ICUTE AP-600S



should i change my PSU for gettting performance in the coming rig below ?

i've questions on some PSU.dis afternoon i went to allIT at ss14.i quite interested in a 600Watt Cooler Master Extreme which cost around 260-280+ if i'm not mistaken.den i saw Acbel 450 Watt also same price like dat.den i quite confused wif the label.

in acbel 450Watt its stated efficiency 80%+-
in cooler master Extreme 600Watt is stated efficiency 70%
in cooler master Real Power 450 watt is stated efficiency 75%+-

wat the sense tht efficiency means?
example: Acbel 450Watt minimum power output is 80% X 450W =360Watt ????
or Cooler Master Extreme 600Watt minimum power output is 70% X 600W=420Watt???

guys, so tell me wats the meaning of it and which one u all recommend based on the price.i dun wanna get smtg above 300 bucks which enermax is charging.

normaly, PSU got how many year warranty?? like CM, Acbel, etc

Efficiency of a PSU means how efficient a PSU runs when it is at peak load. Basically, the higher wattage a PSU has... the lower efficiency it has compared with lower powered PSUs. By right, 70% is actually pretty decent on a 600w PSU.

What I heard is Acbel giving lifetime warranty and CM giving 3 years.

what I don't get is, why giving lifetime as PSU is excepted to die off around 4-5 years?

I just ordered Acbel I-power 450W for my second rig, very satisfy with the first one, stick to it still even it is a bit expensive

Really? Didn't know about that

Just drop by and wanna ask about CM iGreen 500W. Is it reliable and worth buying? For small OC maybe

What's the best psu for rm600?

silverstone olympia 650watt - only around <RM600 in bulk orders..
or if you like modular style, strider 600watt maybe suit ur needs..

-adios-

Lifetime warranty only applicable during the product lifetime
so basically, when the product reached End of Life (EOL), same goes to the warranty
"Lifetime Warranty" is a gimmick to make it sounds good

*i believe someone already posted some links to psu definitions

Partially correct.
Efficiency not really have to be at peak load. If you read some PSU reviews, you will notice the different efficiency at different load.
e.g
Take this:- FSP FSP400-60PFB as example
Light (20% Load) Effiency is 82.09%
Typical (50% Load) Efficiency is 83.96%
Full (100% Load) Efficiency is 81.41%
Average Efficiency is 82.49%

So, back to the point, efficiency means, how many percent of power comsume (input) in order to produce the output power.
e.g
if your system need 400W to run, a 80% efficiency PSU will consume 500W of power. 500W x 80% = 400W
if you have a 50% effiency PSU, then you will consume 800W in order to supply 400W for your system.
the higher efficiency PSU you have, the less electricity bill you will pay.

Got it?

go for acbel.it is worth!

What does modular style mean?

Also, I checked a review it says 54 Amps on a 12 v rail, will the one rail be good for future-proofing?

Athlon 64 3000+ (looking to go for dual core later this year)
3 HDD (2 sata one ide)
2 x 1G ram
3 120mm fans
x1950 pro 512 mb (uses 2 power input slots, next year may change to some other crossfire or dx10 setup)
x-fi extrememusic (soon)

wow....the silverstone psu is more than enough for ur rig there man!
