QUOTE(s(H)sIkuA @ May 2 2007, 04:23 PM) QUOTE(e-jump @ May 2 2007, 03:43 PM) Since im on agp platform, single 12v rail would be good enough. So can anyone recommends me good sub 500w single rail psu thats affordable and decent enough? So far i saw enermax 460 fma looks like a good candidate, juz that i cant get the price tag and where to look for it. *or i should consider to sell my x2 off instead Single rail - Silverstone Zeus not sure if it fits your budget but its a very good PSU rm500, that is waaay out of my league maybe budget around rm300++ (and with that i might be able to get something sub 500w) *unless im in luck lurking in the garage sale section This post has been edited by e-jump: May 2 2007, 04:54 PM

try coolermaster igreen or acbel lor.. should be cheaper yet quite stable rails... i currently using acbel 550w on my dual core opty... quite stable, previously random shutdown was caused by core temp, initially tought changing psu when facing those random shutdown problem untill i realise tht its core temp tht crash my comp... quite some ppl get tis issue in the bug report session of core temp forum.

They seems to be reliable and cheap in the same time though.. This post has been edited by akachester: May 2 2007, 06:02 PM

Alot, reliability , stable , quiet , efficient bla bla Its really a no-brainer when I saw a C2D rig with godly graphic card, alot of rams with a chalang PSU. A dead PSU might drag along everything in your rig with it

i thought fma 460w is around that price? it's really a good choice if no dual gpu involved. 33A @ +12v, ocz powerstream 520w can't even match this... ever consider hec? not a bad brand imo, cheap + stable rails. This post has been edited by ah_khoo: May 3 2007, 08:50 AM
