any Gigabyte SuperB 460w user here?

how is it compare with Acbel E2 390w?

PC power & cooling 750w silencer the red and black whats the difference???

also which is the cheaper one? thx

i support CM..

izzit better to get passive or active PFC psu than non-at all?

the both are just the same thing except the colour.... IIRC the black one is selling rm20 cheaper...

some website i find quite helpful in understanding the basics of power supply

http://www.silentpcreview.com/article28-page5.html

To summarise it,

Active PFC is mainly useful if you use a UPS (better power factor means more battery time)

OR

If your house power supply is unstable (in which case, you should be getting a UPS, rather than relay on the PFC's ability to handle voltage fluctuations. Don't get Auto Voltage Regulators, if you consistently suffer from unstable power they're not that much help, they're meant to just be extra security for NORMAL power situations).

Treat the extra efficiency most APFC PSUs have as a bonus, but if you really want an efficient PSU you should be looking at its efficiency rating, not whether it has PFC or not.

AVR no use? The AVR got differently rated that u can choose. Got cheap and expensive version. Sure helpful especially for very old house and campus.

hmm i feel very very weird here..
why my reading is so weird...hmm this really troubling me,coz i just realized it.. hope pros here can explain to me
but i think the mobo sensors gone crazy
but with the readings..i still can oc very high ishhh duno why the readings so weird..

What PSU are you using?

Have u tried other monitoring tool? How about Abit uGuru?

hmm i using gigabyte superb 460W...other monitor..hmm speed fan for +12V is 5.91V..hmm Abit uGuru did not test yet..why it happened like this ar??ishhh...how ar??pening pening...

i OC'd my E4500 to 3.2GHz using P35 DS3, Xigmatek Red scorpion HDT-S1283, Silverstone ST50F...
for me, Silverstone ST50F is more than enough to OC purposes plus the price is MURAH!!

Take a multimeter or digital multimeter,plug + lead into yellow(12V) or red(5v) and - lead into ground on molex or ground on casing unpainted part,load it up and see(3dmark06 gc test and orthos)

hmm my prob has been setteled after using everest ultimate 4.50.1330 hehe thx clawhammer and slayer for ur concern

bro u got that yellow multimeter in ur locker rite??
i wanna borrow it from u la before holiday starts..
wanna see voltage reading from teh 4 12v rails from the odin psu

oh that FLUKE multimeter? that multimeter actually used for industrial usage but my dad give it to me for our course projects,i saw several multimeter like my fluke at jalan pasar, Rm800 selamba je bawak balik dari kilang utk kegunaan anak haha hmm come back fast la,let see how your odin 550W pro works since u say it more powerful than my future ST56F..

AVR and surge block is ok for the occational surge, but they are just an extra layer if security "just in case something happens". Meaning they'll take the bullet which would have taken you PC down. However, if the main AC supply is unstable to start with, then it means there is a fault with power cabling or contacts, both of which can easily cause more severe problems than can be handled by AVRs. In this kind of situation where you definitely have a problem, AVRs and surge blocks are not adequate, especially when dealing with voltage sags and drops suge block DO NOT WORK AT ALL, and AVRs can only compensate for a limited amount of voltage drop, and for an extremely brief time only. Moreover, PSUs already have decent voltage compensation built in (even cap ayams, though quite pathetic, about +- 15V), APFC PSUs can even withstand voltage drops up till 90V or lower. Its unlikely that an AVR can significantly improve the situation considering the capabilities to PSUs today, however they do act as a sheild in event of a massive voltage fluctuation they'll fry 1st, rather than your precious PC.

wan to ask. 12V have 18A is good ?

If multi rail ok.Single rail is for 6pin gc system

wat means ?multi rail ?
