Totally Agreed!!! rclxms.gif

hey..apart from Cool Guard (a monitoring/surveillance feature that controls all d fans after shut down for better cooling) there's also POWER Guard from d Infiniti series!!! it has LED&sound indicator (beep beep beep...) flex.gif

I've never been into PSU but I'm using Enermax Infiniti 720w right now, and it seems to be great and easy to manage those cable since I only need to plug in cable that I needed to use.

Have fun hoping that your Enermax isn't one of the dodgy ones which I've come across soo many times. And the truth about modular cable management?

3. DON'T LOSE POWER WITH MODULAR PLUGS
Due to their look, convenience, and cost savings for manufacturers, modular plugs have become a popular power supply feature. Unfortunately, there has been little or no discussion of the impact of this feature on overall performance and reliability. The fact is, modular plugs limit power by adding to electrical resistance. The voltage drop can be as much as would occur in 2 feet of standard wire. Worse yet, modular plugs utilize delicate pins that can easily loosen, corrode, and burn, creating the potential for a major system failure. That's why professional system builders specify uninterrupted wire!

8. ARE MULTIPLE 12-VOLT RAILS BETTER THAN A SINGLE 12-VOLT RAIL?
With all the hype about multiple 12-volt rails (ads claim that two rails is better than one, five is better than four, etc.), you'd think it was a better design. Unfortunately, it's not!

Here are the facts: A large, single 12-volt rail (without a 240VA limit) can transfer 100% of the 12-volt output from the PSU to the computer, while a multi-rail 12-volt design has distribution losses of up to 30% of the power supply's rating. Those losses occur because power literally gets "trapped" on under-utilized rails. For example, if the 12-volt rail that powers the CPU is rated for 17 amps and the CPU only uses 7A, the remaining 10A is unusable, since it is isolated from the rest of the system.

Since the maximum current from any one 12-volt rail of a multiple-rail PSU is limited to 20 amps (240VA / 12 volts = 20 amps), PCs with high-performance components that draw over 20 amps from the same rail are subject to over-current shutdowns. With power requirements for multiple processors and graphics cards continuing to grow, the multiple-rail design, with its 240VA limit per rail, is basically obsolete.

PC Power and Cooling is once again leading the industry. All of our power supplies now feature a large, single 12-volt rail. The design is favored by major processor and graphics companies, complies with EPS12V specs (the 240VA limit is not a requirement) and is approved by all major safety agencies such as UL and TUV.

so now the best bet to go with is a single rail non modular PSUs?

You're talking like that to almostthere whose in real life is a hardware reviewer in a famous website? doh.gif

Learn more about him before you start saying something that sounds like you're stating that almostthere is a newbie. shakehead.gif

3 FMA's. 2 Libertys, 1 Coolergiant, all exhibiting stabillity criterion of more then 0.5. And not to mention the local distributor blaming it on user error

yerp,agree,seems like he didnt trust our almostthere taiko.... sweat.gif doh.gif

and non modular is better than modular,better stability and better performance.

Happens frequently if the AC voltage fluctuates too much (Which tell me how many homes suffer that?). Want to say during full load also can't. Example, take lamely_named's case (ok, his didn't blow up, but the problems he had, adoi) and also shawty himself. Brapa PSU Enermax ko buat hal harituh?

Two PSU's, both are Enermax PSU's. shakehead.gif

One Enermax Liberty 620W [ni takpela, murah sikit, mati dalam tiga bulan rclxub.gif ]
One Enermax Galaxy 1KW [psu mahal pun mati dalam masa tiga bulan? shakehead.gif ]

So conclusion:
No more Enermax for me, no sir. shakehead.gif

ohh .. god .. sHAwTY ..

Enermax PSU is really so poor ??? i thought they manfacturer their own PSU ..?? Even with own production plant established for over years but the product durability not promising ??

anwyay bro u OC a lot with both PSU ?? i owned 500 watts liberty but it last until the lightning stike .. which was around 6 months above..

hmm.. with all these feedback here .. what would be the best PSU .. since Enermax, Tagan and Cooler Master didn't work out well ..

anything which is certified for server use for now to be honest. Which means finding those by Delta and HEC. Owh and for now also, Silverstone's
