hmm, if i'm looking for a new psu what would you suggest? I just had a look at Silverstone Strider 500w and it looks OK for me, or do I need a better one?

EDIT : also saw this guy selling 550w psu for rm135 only. (i am price concerned)

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1799064

can his psu work?

You're better off getting fsp hexa 500w @ Rm169...
Many coolermaster psu have bad quality..

If you intend to buy the power supply from him then you're going to have to see if it's working fine by testing it with a system. Alternatively, you can always use a small metal wire to jump start the power supply and connect some fans to it to see if it's working ( if you're interested about the jump starting part you can request for more info ).

The Cooler Master Real Power Pro 550W has a "fault-LED" which is red in color and is located beside the power supply's switch. It lights up if the power supply is faulty, so the task of identifying a faulty power supply should be very easy with it present.

I would however, recommend that you get a brand new power supply as the power supply from that link is only covered by 40 days of warranty. A new power supply usually comes with 2 ~ 3 years of warranty or 5 if you're buying a premium power supply. You will also be able to avoid any worries e.g a power supply's premature failure since a new power supply is, well, brand new and it should not have any problems.

The Silverstone Strider Essential 500W is a pretty good power supply. You can go for that if you like. You can also choose to go with the FSP Hexa 500W power supply at RM159 which is a good power supply. Only its main 24-PIN motherboard and CPU connector ( if I remember correctly ) is sleeved though, so if a power supply's aesthetic is important for you, then feel free to go ahead with the previously mentioned power supply ( Silverstone ).

I'm not sure whether Cex will accept warranty claim for existing buyers or not perhaps u could try check with their boss.

As far as i've concerned there's no way an existing can skip providing warranty for existing products carried by them in the pass. Even if they have stopped distributing, i is their responsiblity to cover full warranty n after sales services to end users n resellers as per advertised. So in ur case better seek advice from storm88 or worst, Seasonic manufacturer. Normally manufacturer will give options to end users on how to send their faulty goods locally.

Seriously storm88 or his company CANNOT run away from warranty.

Thanks guys for the replies. I read them all and I learnt alot. smile.gif

Now I am thinking about the future where I will probably crossfiring 2x5850 OC. I read from other websites stating that they will need about 480W in total during load.

So, I guess a FSP Hexa 500W cant do the job right? If it cant, then could a Strider 600W work?

Yes, Silverstone Strider 600W will be fine for it.
FSP Hexa 500W is able to power it up, but the computer will stress the PSU, making it to die faster.
Furthermore, no guarantee on whether it can handle the computer during stress.

In that case, any low power PSU will do. But I recommend at least
Gigabyte PoweRock 390W - RM69 (ALLIT)
Gigabyte N400A - RM100+

The new distributor will continue to provide warranty for previous SEASONIC PSU. For those who bought from me, the warranty still valid, I will help to claim from new SEASONIC distributor as per inform by them. So no worries here rclxms.gif

GPU maybe 6770 range, (optional)
