Well, i was about to purchase the Element 500W last time out due to the great amount of recommendation given and amazing review but recently, the stop the production of the Element for the Strider.I will definitely get the Strider 560W but not now..The CM Real Power 450W is serving me good but i wanted a more reliable one..As far as i can see, i wanted something that is modular and might be cheap but there aint one..So, the Strider 560W is definitely my best choice now..

5% of 12V should be 0.6V right? but my almost of time it stay at 11.19V, the different is 0.81V, so still consider normal? Before I change to Pentium D 820, the +12V is at 11.49V... so in case I add in Palit 7600GS PCI-e, and 1or 2GB DDR2, it still can handle? I hope it can, otherwise I will need to change PSU again...

Anyway, thanks for the reply...

You are welcome...

Yup.. really cheap. So i got myself one..

i'm planin' to upgrade my agp rig, see my sig...
and currently i'm using iCute 450w... do u think this PSU can stand for some few times after i upgrade my proc, rams, gc, some ccfls, fans, and dvd-rw?
should i upgrade? if yes, pls recommend me...
budget dont know, but recommend me some low-end PSU that suitable to my rig

Soon or later i will cause u some prob.. especially after u upgrade rig.
if u lucky the pc will reboot.. if worst then it might burn some hardware or PSU explode..

err... after i upgrade, i'll list my rig and let u recommend me PSU

Do you ever think why a psu will blow up? Its because of the faulty psu or more on user's wrong doing like overdose on their psu? The extreme is suitable for those which on normal usage. with a good pricing where you can get below rm150. And if you think you can get miracle for less than rm150, you yourself is already a miracle then. I would always recommend things base on user usage instead, such as no point asking someone to get most high end pc if its only used for normal office work and some casual gaming.

Situation you mentioned is just like you saw a proton car being thrash like junk in an accident and would you ever get your butt into a proton car anymore?

Since he dint set his budget yet, sure im gonna recommend him some better stuff instead of CM Extreme. Its different story with your fren's rig...
For low budget PSU i still think Silverstone Element 400w is a steal.
This PSU comes with A.PFC, Stable 12V rails, High eff. and nice cooling which CM Extreme cannot offer.

CM Extreme 450W: RM 160
Silverstone 400W: Rm 199

this system need how many watt PSU to support it ?

AMD althon x2 3800+ skt939
asus a8n32-sli deluxe
galaxy 7300GT DDR3 128mb
LG DVD-RW 16x
LG CD-RW 52x
maxtor 80gb sata harddisk
kingston KVR DDR400 256*2

budget is around RM200

*ask a question, i-cute 480watt dual fan blue LED << its pure watt is how many ? i cant search it from internet.. model also didn`t notice at its box.. just some japanese word there..

Base on rough calculation, you need 380W to power them, unbranded PSU normally don't tell the exact watt produced, you need to check on the amp produced.

hi can tell how 2 calculate the watt base on amp tat u state?

thank

Silverstone Element 400w. RM 200 is a good choice.

just wanna get advice from u all, my old pc, pentium 4 2.4Ghz, ram 768MB ddr1, graphic card fx5200, any commend if i wanna buy a POWERLOGIC 450W (REAL) power supply, or ACBEL 350W (REAL)? i dun wan to spend too much on my old pc......or got other suggestion? thanx

Enermax FMA 350W should be good if youre going to buy 350Watter...or else, ACbel 450W is a good buy too...(although, i don't really recommend that...) but since there werent any other choice in getting good PSU to power up some old PC like yours...

so 350W is good enough?? how about powerlogic...the price seem quite cheap......

FYI, i used to have PowerLogic Atrix 500T (500W), Dual-Rail...but failed on me on every part, randomly shut-down, continuous instability even though not into overclocking...till i switched to Enermax FMA 350W (i'm just testing whether is it due to my PSU or not -- so i just bought a cheap Enermax FMA series)...guess what...after 10 months using it, 24/7 Folding/BT-ing...still rock stable...not to mention, i'm on 60% overclocked system rig...(not that good, but considered a 350W PSU)... PowerLogic Atrix 500T @RM165, while Enermax FMA 350W @RM169...

so if i wan to get a lower budget 1, better choose Acbel 350W rather than PowerLogic 450W? bcoz my budget is around 130 onli......

Yup.. agree. FMA 350w is good. If want 400w then can try Silverstone Element 400W. Only cost RM 200 at lyn bulk

FMA 350w is nice.
But if choose between Powerlogic and ACbel, then i think i will get ACbel.
CM iGreen is a ACbel too. Atleast ACbel make PSU for CM.

Is Silverstone 400W good at LYN bulk?12V1 with 14A (Max) and 16A (Peak) is it a total of 30A or 12V1 14A 12V2 15A and total 29A?

Between this 4 Enermax Liberty 400W, Enermax FMA II 460W and Silverstone 400W, Fortron FSP SAGA 400W, which is worth your wallet?

i am using a PSU with single +12V rail with 22A only. Then the total Watt is 460Watt.
For my rig in my signature is it enough to support that?
because sometime i having instability of my pc, restart, hang..
