Hello guys. My power supply unit broke down last Monday and I'm going to buy a new one this Saturday. Currently, I'm thinking of getting CoolerMaster Extreme Power 380W/430W PSU. Which one do you think is better? Are there any suggestions? My PC specifications are below. Thanks.

I see. Actually, I'm hoping to get a not-so-good one since the one I was using served me for about three and a half years. I don't always switch on my PC 24/7 except if I'm downloading things. Any opinion on this? Should I invest in a better PSU?

QUOTE(sniper69 @ Mar 8 2007, 04:57 PM) It means that 400W PSU isn't sufficient for my system? My PSU was being strained before it died? Anyway, Acbel is a bit too expensive for me. I'm considering CoolerMaster now. Is it more reliable than those chapalang ones? My budget would be around RM150. Thanks. |

Okay. Guess I'll be getting the 430W Cooler Master PSU. Thanks a lot for your help.
