erm...
FTI guys

Gigabyte PSU = Targan

sweating eh

actually it's becuz of the price... i can get Tagan easily cuz my boss got deal wif Tagan's supplier...
but i wanna know if it's really worthy to get 1... i wanna get 1 around 500-650W PSU...
Reason:- my Enermax Noisetaker II 535W outgoing air is kinda hot after OC and all the tweakings i done... so i feel tat it's not stable enough for my current setup... also planning to play Crossfire wif HD2600XT...

i am using tagan also..it really cost me more compare to other brand...but so far so gud..manage to oc with it and stable..

Tagan not bad mah,those mat salleh like to use it for review some hardwares.

anyway,Tagan is the oem for gaygaybyte psu?

tagan itself do not make psu. their oem is from topower which made some psu for ocz. it's easy to tell whether tagan is good or not. seach on some forums for informations on topower.

not sure also..some said yes..but no prove

OK i'm looking for a <rm200 to replace my 5year old Enermax PSU. I'm not really into PSUs, but i've done some readings. Which PSUs u guys recommend?

1. Silverstone ST400
2. CM eXtreme power 450w
4. FSP Saga.
5. Raptoxx 450w (any ideas how isit?)

Should have PCIe power connector.Also, i've read that the ST400 fan is loud, or has it been fixed?

ooo... interesting...

yeah... not only mat salleh... all international rich gamers and OC'ers recommend it...

yeah... tat's wat my supplier said... Topower also produce OEM PSU which something like Powerlogic Magnum series... but more exp... and the weirdest thing is only Topower 1000W PSU's are listed in ATI and nVidia certified PSU for Xfire and SLi...

no word from my supplier also... if got ppl order from me than i can get to see the juice in the PSU and snap a few shots for u guys... but the price tag is a humungous barrier... RM395 for the cheapest Gigabyte ODIN pro...
But from their Waatage/price... i also believe it's from topower...

gigabyte psu = channel well psu


Gigabyte Odin GT 550W



Gigabyte Odin Pro 550W



Gigabyte Modular Jack



FSP Epsilon 700W


ther all have almost same size (physically), even compare to my another acbel 550W. gigabyte is the winner on the 1st look, the package is so good, remind me of enermax liberty... but funnily they all wieght almost the same too..! wonder y FSP 700W doesn't weight much more...

its rather loud, i compare it with my toughpower 750... silverstone fails horribly...

but, for a rm170 psu... its ok... im sick of replacing my cap ayam's (note the s) on my old computer... and ive gotten away all the time without it dragging my other components along. so not gonna risk it further, just get a decent good psu and settle for it, ive got a ton of important datas on my old comp anyways that im too lazy to transfer over to my new comp.

Get something that really good.

Acbel 450w, Enermax FMA2 460w.
These should be the minimum PSU you should buy

hey all the sifus. just would like to ask what is the unstable/danger level voltage for the 12V+ rail? mine starting up at BIOS is at 11.77V. i think it is quite low. plan to oc but need opinion if it is safe. anyway, these are my specs :

amd x2 3600+ brisbane core
biostar tf560
corsair value ram 2Gb
Gigabyte 8600GT silent pipe
CM extreme power 550W
and then benq LCD 17"

Ok guys, btw need your opinions on this Enhance 460w. I'm stil thinking of getting this Enhance or Silverstone ST400

i think silverstone will be better..

Silverstone never produce their own PSUs. Most of their Strider parts is also manufactured by Enhance.

If u ask which one is better between ST400 and those Enhance 460W I believe the Enhance 460w unit should perform on par, but if u look at the spec carefully the combined +12V wattage is almost the same. The extra 60W go to +5v & +3.3v. So find the cheapest between those

Btw, those ST400 is manufactured by FSP and is a sibblings of FSP Saga 400W

For torture test on FSP Saga 400W, please take a look at our local forums: http://forum.chip.co.id/f227-fsp-psu-repre...ly-here-20.html

U guys should ok with our bahasa, seems similar to Malay

Spec used:
Presler 950 ES @4000 (1.45V) (190 Watt)
-torture (1.352V)
Mobo MSI P6NSLI Platinum NV650i (All Default Voltage)
Leadtek Winfast PX 8800GTS (600/950)
-Torture (583/954)
Seagate 80GB SATA II
Fan 80mm 3 X @0.25A
2X 1024 DDRII PC6400

agree what you said tagteam, even my ST56ZF actually Etasis, and Etasis is known as server grade PSU maker

nice single rail PSU!

Loud may not be a bad thing, as it usually means that the PSU has adequate cooling.
On the flip side, it may mean that the manufacturer screwed up the airflow and the restiction is causing all that noise.

The required range for 12V is +/-5%, which gives 11.4V-12.6V. But if you're overclocking, to minimise risk(overclocking is risky to start with) usually overclockers will demand a 3% tolerance or tighter, which gives 11.64V-12.36V.

It should be pretty good. Enhance is another PSU maker that has yet to produce a PSU that didn't live up to its promises. Mostly they do OEM business, so you don't see them often.

Enhance psu is reliable?
i see it's quite cheap and what is the high end series?
