No doubt for tight budget, CM Extreme is a nice choice.. but after some forumers die or explode their CM Extreme PSU and one of them post me the pic, now i dont recommend CM Extreme alrdy. Moreover CM = ACbel, so i rather get an ACbel.
In term of Price/Performance i would rather go for SilvStone 400w than CM Extreme.

Check Zamree7 bulk.

actually i also find this 4-pin to 8-pin converter, but failed, even at LowYat Plaza ...anyway, i think you should give it a try, even you plugged in, its either won't boot or it'll boot

, when comes into overclocking, yes, definitely, you're gonna need 8-pin connector, otherwise, 4-pin into 8-pin should be all right...i'm not sure where's the site, quite long time, but, i saw a pix, using SLI-DR Expert with 20-pin ATX + 4-pin CPU...

the rating shouldn't be off +-5 of that rail, which means 12V is around 11.4V, but normally I take 11.6 within the safe zone.  This means your PSU is running at it's limit

note : before rushing out to buy a new PSU, you should try another program to check the voltage, no single program gives a accurate reading, the most accurate is using a multitester to check which should be handle by expert only.

AFAIK, Silverstone's modular design is from Decathlon series, but this's gonna cost a bomb...

What wattage it have for Decathlon series? How much and where can I get that? Any forumer sell or bulk it?
Do you mean the ST60F? wow, all is modular... but the price...   still can't make my mind on which PSU should I get... thinking of get Liberty 500W...what you guys think, if I upgrade to C2D, 2GB DDR2, adding few more 120mm fan, add high capacity hdd to replace current low capacity hdd,should be enough juice right...since C2D is consume less power?   Not going to upgrade gc as I am not hardcore gamer, so my current 7600GS should be sufficient, and I am not going to use Vista that fast...

  good point there...thanks anyway...

Ya, I am from Johore. But the SS Strider 560W is not modular... I want the modular type...    will think about tit too... thanks...

but i see the silver stone strider 560w which cost me RM 399 in the last week price list.. where u get the RM 320 ??

I think I will stick with Liberty 500W...using the Liberty 400W now, found it quite stable and solid...but need to look around for the cheapest price first...maybe will get from Vertex again...last time I get my Liberty 400W from them too...

enlight 450w good or not? real power? silent or not? i jus need an QUIET psu so tat i can sleep better at night~ another choice is acbel 350w. which one better? any sifu? quiet is most important for me. normal use only. not going oc. cos i got the offer for the same price for this 2 unit (2nd hand). now thinking which to buy. any advice?

anyone had encounter a problem from CM RealPower 450W???i don't usually OCing...just sometimes!!!!need some comment...?!!!!

Need some suggestion here guys:

I am about to build a new rig as my 2nd rig just gone "kaput" due to the mobo burnt. I have these in my mind right now:

AMD X2 3600+
Biostar 6100 AM2
512MB ram

These will be retained from my previous rig:

80GB Maxtor HDD
1 * TDK Combo Drive
1 * TDK CDRW Drive
Looking into the spec, i was really hoping to get myself a "better" PSU as my previous one was a chaplang brand that came with the chaplang casing.I have a few choices in mind but i am not so sure how many watts i need as well as which is better.

My budget would be at best RM150 and below, but if it needs to be slightly more expensive to get something better bang for buck, i will consider it.

FSP Saga 400W - RM135
CM Extreme Power 430W - RM150
SS 400W - RM180 (abit too steep)
Acbel - RM??

Which would be better?

if u all wanna go for modular psu, go for SS as it is 100% modular, those liberty are not 100% modular (the mobo + cpu power is not modular)...

i'm guessing u all wanna modular psu for cable management rite? with SS Strider u can make custom cables (with the exact measurement that suits ur chassis) & don't have to worried bout the connectors, u can buy the UV connectors from the Bulk Section as SS Strider use the common connector for their psu compared to Liberty, Enermax use those PCIe connectors like u connect to the VGA, plus Liberty, u can't custom made the mobo + cpu power cable as it is not modular (although it can be done, thus it will void the warranty)
yup, it will avoid the warranty if u stupidly send for RMA without riping the sleeve off & change the UV connector to its original connector  

those PSU that are not originally been sleeved at all --> u can sleeve em with worrying the warranty...

but those PSU that has originally semi-sleeved then u have a problem, if the default sleeved is black is a okay, u can sleeve back it black when RMAing, but what if its not black, like those Liberty, the sleeve they use is black+yellow, where to get? unless u want to double sleeve it then when RMAing just rip off the one u sleeved & leave the default one on

Saga series is true power I think, with a minimum of 70% efficiency and not active PFC... but if you are not going to OC kaw kaw, should be ok de...for your spec above... but if you wanna upgrade more hardware to it late, might have little problem lor...need to change to a better PSU...

Anyone one khow about those newer 20+8 pins needed by DFI and some Asus model ?

what PSU offer this kind of connections?

getting more and more confuse...........
