i own a Powerlogic Magnum 300... can anyone review it? i quiet blur...it say 300w pure power..and 600w rated power..means the psu actual power is 600w? compare to icute 430w rm80 tht one..which one better?
*
PowerLogic PSU are made by terrorists and it's purpose is to bring itself along wif ur rig and maybe u together to hell...

iCute is juz for normal usage... any change in the voltage and ur rig is gone... icon_idea.gif

is the Acbel 550w Gold Series any good for OC? reviews? still need to find a good reasonable price PSU n someone selling in LYN..  silverstone 400w good enough for oc i think..
*
ACbel mostly can't OC stable... but nevertheless it's quite a good PSU for normal usage...

yeah, but there aren't any PSUs with that low a rating..though there are plenty of PSUs with 400w+ rating but can't even push out 200W without having smoke come out..
Acbel, depends on model. For most of their PSUs, voltage regulation is not so good when running at the PSU's limit, but its still within safe limits. FSP@Fortron, Silverstone have had perfect, or close to perfect, reputation for all their PSUs. Antec is pretty good, but pretty expensive; and you'll have to check out the models carefully as there were a few which were messed up.

PowerLogic has a magnum 225W bundled wif their M200/400 series casing... also sold seperately... and these are the 1ce which blow up easyly... sweat.gif

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Aug 25 2007, 05:48 PM)
Why Corsair?

tat's quite an interesting and popular PSU... but i don think 620W can get easyly though... Cudo and Mushkin both are sweating for high end products now... unless some1 order 100 units from them... sweat.gif

just found something quite interesting....

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2203743091949618987

Zalman 600W Modular PSU with Heatpipe Cooling.

this would be the first time ive seen heatpipe utilized in a PSU.

FYI tat's not the 1st... sweat.gif tat's something like Topower Submarine series... which has been sold for a year or so in the US and Taiwan... but not in Malaysia though cuz no request for it... sweat.gif
details

if u notice there's a circuit breaker for this model... like the p9 series... thumbup.gif
cuz it has built in AVR and surge protector... brows.gif

hmm.gif, that's not heatpipe, it's just fanless, IIANM, the fanless/0dB PSU is already quite some time... icon_idea.gif, Madman here mentioning "he saw ever" icon_idea.gif

anyway... i'm looking for 850W and above, single rail PSU with strong +12V, checked the OP series, looking good, but the real manufacturer is Impervio Electronics Co. (i can't log on the it's site though), while other PSU, not worth it... no really, no offense ok smile.gif except those PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic <---- suicide la like this... i can't afford it sad.gif
*
I mentioned "something like"... and there are heatpipes inside tat Topower PSU according to supplier but i can't confirm tat... hmm.gif

then don go for 800W lar... doh.gif I can get u Topower P9 800W for RM788... if u think it's well priced... sweat.gif B2B order and deposit needed... sweat.gif
better get around 600W+... icon_rolleyes.gif

erm... can some 1 explain v me,wht's the different of the multi rail and single rail?
i hav hear some said the Gigabyte 800watt no bad,and worthy,and it is tagan OEM wor....
*
it's CWT OEM not Tagan... my topower is the OEM of Tagan... sweat.gif so u can say my topower is better than Tagan... icon_idea.gif
Gigabyte is quad-rail and Topower is dual-rail same wif Tagan...
Quad-rails don favour any Pro OC'ers here... icon_idea.gif cuz lesser rail wif more power = more performance... smile.gif

hmmm.. delta never heard before.. stable for oc or not? my current avf psu not very stable. i was thinking strider because of stability and performance...  smile.gif

hmm .. someone selling cooler master igreen 600w .. price below rm300. thats good also right?
*
Delta is stable... for 350W no high end Crossfire or SLi la... at least got 1 6-pin PCIe connector to power-up single mid-high GC... but the price is below RM100... so it's a good buy for ur rig cuz i don see any need of above 400W real power for ur rig... unsure.gif
n u can see lohwenli's comments... Delta is a big OEM company which is y it's not very popular... CWT which is Gigabyte's OEM also never hear b4 la... but it's quite popular for laptop adaptors & ext 3.5" adaptor...

QUOTE(lohwenli @ Aug 28 2007, 05:36 PM)
More rail means more headache balancing the rails..not much difference in performance as long as the rails are evenly balanced. And actually for TRUE multi rail PSUs (with each rail seperately supplied and regulated), having multi rails is a slight advantage, as voltage fluctuations on one rail will not effect the other rails. Unfortunately, most PSU manufacturers cheat (even big names like Antec, Enermax, Acbel) and actually make a single FAT rail and split it out with current limiters so that they can follow the ATX standard. Read PSU reviews on hardwaresecrets.com to find out which PSUs are true multi rail and which are cheating. Server PSUs with multi rails are almost always individually supplied and regulated.

And yes, in the server world, Delta Electronics is equivalent to PC Power & Cooling  thumbup.gif

yeah... but my 350W is not up to PC Power & cooling standard... sweat.gif and Gigabyte's GZ-X* series casing come wif them... icon_idea.gif

Yup. It is hard to sell PSU nowadays plus decatchlon is much expensive than the OP just because of its modular connector.

Wish you good luck buddy. Surely can make it.

it's already like tat since the 1st modular PSU came out... even my 600W Samurai and my M2 diff RM100+... icon_idea.gif

that 2 pin is ground,the 8 pin pcie connector is what we call Dxx.

and if u never plug the another 2 pin in the 2900XT it wont support OC feature IIRC.

nowadays Gc also need 14pin sweat.gif

maybe 1 day will will need dual PSU and maybe 24pin on GC... tongue.gif

Corsair will launch its 1,000-watt power supply by the end of this year and we had the privilege of taking a look on how this new unit will look like before everybody else, including pictures, a glimpse of the architecture it will use and its basic specs. Basically it will have true dual +12 V rails, with two independent transformers and two independent set of rectifiers for each transformer. Read on.

Please keep in mind that what we saw was a prototype, so the housing and stickers may be different on the final product.

As you can see on Figure 1, this power supply will use the same layout of current Corsair power supplies, with a mesh on its rear and a fan on its lower side. Its basic specs include active PFC and 80%+ efficiency.

Corsair and Mushkin PSU are manufactured by "behind the scenes" manufacturer... as far as i know Mushkin Enhanced PSU are made by Topower... which is the brand of PSU i using... tongue.gif
