QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Sep 3 2011, 04:00 PM) 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. any other on par 500w+ psu with the seasonic x-560?

There's the KingWin 550W power supply that is however, better than the X-560, albeit with a slightly smaller overall capacity. Unfortunately it's not available here.

Well, it is probably also the best power supply available here in the 600W ~ 700W range. In the 700 ~ 850W range however, there's the Corsair AX power supply series which is well, identical to the X-750 and X-850 as the AX power supply series is actually derived from Seasonic, albeit with a different logo. However, if I remember correctly, Corsair is offering 7 years for the AX power supply series, which is 2 extra years over what Seasonic offers for the X-750 and X-850  .

If you want to send your power supply after its warranty here "expires", then you will have to contact the manufacturer instead for help.

Seasonic silence 500w can provide more power than 550w exterme power cooler master... So, does that answer your question? Or you can go for FSP hexa 500w.. Your spec doesn't consume much power.

Hello, i want to ask for opinion which PSU is enough to power this gpu MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC?
I love my current PSU which is CM Silent Pro M500w because its soo silence and can be use 24/7 with my current gc. But i think im going to sell it away and buy new PSU as to power up that new N570GTX.
my workstation is on my signature..i have 2tb hdd..
im looking for a good psu that i can use it 24/7 and not making alot of noise with stable performance and efficient.
My budget is RM500 below..and with that budget is it possible to also power up GTX580 1.5gb?
Sorry for the typo..

GTX590, recommend at least a 750W-800W on the safe side GTX570 already needs at least 550W This post has been edited by shinjite: Sep 9 2011, 09:44 AM

You can consider the FSP Aurum Gold 700 for RM489 from ALL IT, or the Corsair HX650 power supply if you prefer a modular power supply. Both will support a GTX570 fine and should do well too with two GTX570s.

Thanks TDU, both psu can SLI is great! looks soo tempting and the Corsair AX650 just have to add rm100 only..ill get them soon..thanks again! i hope it can support the new upcoming gc also..changing a psu is quiet a waste.

Hi, I WTA, My current psu dimension is 140L x 150W x 86H mm (5.5" x 5.9" x 3.4") http://www.power-on.com/images/product/atx/atx12v250bt.jpg and i'm planning to get a new psu as an upgrade but i'm not sure if it will fit into my casing. The psu dimension i want to buy is 150L x 140W x 86H mm (Gbyte Powerock 390w) will it fit? This post has been edited by sp6068: Sep 10 2011, 03:26 AM
