Can anyone give me an opinion about these two PSUs as compared to Corsair's?

Acbel IPOWER 85H 650W PCA010 80Plus Bronze
Enermax Naxn ENP600AWT 600W 80plus

Which Corsair PSU are you referring? if is AX then answer is obvious

what is your budget? and mind stating the GPU you are using?

anyone tried this PSU by mushkin before?

Mushkin Enhanced Volta 650W PSU
http://www.mushkin.com/Power-Supplies/Volta/MKNPSVT650.aspx

The price seems kinda cheap, wonder what's the quality like.

Its specification doesn't look impressive to be honest. 516W on its 12V rail on a 650W power supply and only a single PCI-E 6 pin cable? That's rather weak. Aesthetic wise it also doesn't look good. I'd suggest that you give this power supply a pass.

Well, Mushkin does make good PSU in the age of Enhanced model. I'm using the "HP-580AP 580W" model. It serve me well till now (age more than 4 years already) and still kicking in my rig

For Joule 650W @ RM179 (SRP) price-tag, I would say it's a value buy = better than the CM Extreme Series

Which psu to go for hd 6950 or gtx560 ti?

A 500W power supply will suffice but a 600W power supply is recommended for long term usage.

The Corsair GS600. I currently have a dead Cooler Master GX 650W, which I was told was more than enough. But that piece has died on me twice, and I think I should be looking for an alternative. My budget is somewhere around RM300 max. The GPU I'm using is the HD5770.

A 500W power supply will do fine for a HD5770. You can even go with a 400W power supply as that will support a HD5770 too without any problems but to be on the safe side a 500W power supply is recommended.

my rig using cooler master 750w (rs750 acaa-a1 with actice PFC)
last night a loud 'pop' sound came out and my rig suddenly goes off...

i notice motherboard's LED is not lite up anymore(normally LED is lite on even not in powered ON state)

i try to powered my rig but nothing happen. from visual check, no sign
of burning IC's or blown caps on my motherboard..so i guess it would be my PSU die ady...because i check the 24pin connector with multimeter, no sign of power from PSU at any pin.

just wanna ask, what is the item damage usually when 'pop' sound happen on PSU? is it power IC's? or Caps? and it will cost how much to repair? my PSU dont have warranty anymore...TQ in advance

Have you tried jump starting the power supply?

You can test the power supply by taking it out from your system, plugging some fans to it via the molex connector, and then jump-start it by connecting a piece of metal wire from a green wire to a black on the 24 Pin. If it's unable to start, its LED light beside the power switch should light up, indicating that there's something wrong with the power supply. But if the LED doesn't light up and the fans do not run when you try jump starting the power supply, then it looks like your power supply is indeed dead.

"Pop" sound sure the PSU is gg.com edi

Mobo affected or not, depend ur luck

RMA it or get new one, don't bother repair. Stay away from CM GX Series

oh dang...need to get new psu loh...huhu
ok...tq for the opinion...
plan to get the modular one...

this one ok or not?

SEASONIC S12II 620W 80+ Bronze

That is a good one just to remind u that there is a modular version as well M12II 620W if budget permits, maybe this one is a better option??

err. I thought that one is the old one? new model is Silence Pro.
or you intend to buy a used unit?

considering to buy either seasonic x560 gold or corsair hx650 bronze psu, which one do you guys suggest me to buy? or is there any better psu around the price range(rm400-450)..thanks

The Seasonic X-560 is the power supply you should get if you do not need a 650W power supply. The X-series power supply from Seasonic is a premium series, and has received excellent ratings before.
