huh... PC Power & Cooling? got disto ke now in Malaysia?

for the first time, my ST56ZF made me sweating , well it's not kaboom, or whatsoever, but earlier today, when i re-apply thermal paste for CPU, Chipset and GPU (3 months at a time job) as well as do some cleaning job, re-assemble and , the system cannot boot... the standby LED was lit though, just like normal standby (orange) before it's going to green meaning it's successfully booted... but it appeared it won't be green no matter i press the power button 30 times. at first it might be due to lack of power, so i dissassemble some hardware, fans mostly... but still the same, double, triple checked the connection... seems no problem at all, i've done almost everything, until how-many-i-pressed-i-don't-know, luckily booted like normal, checked voltage reading/fluctuation via Lavalys Everest - normal like first day i got the PSU... so guys, any idea of what's going on?

i'm sorry to hear that remysix, guess it made us in common , anyway, my PSU's warranty is over... so, it's impossible for me for warranty claiming. but i really appreciate if anyone can help us out on what's really happen, why our PSU won't powering up after shuts off? it's not like dying PSU though, because i just ran 3DMark05, priming... the PSU stable as rock, nothing seems a problem...

yeah... but i guess it's all right, because, i get what i paid for... 3 years with 24/7 non stop folding

tried on same power cord on other PSU, none, nothing's wrong with the power cord, so it's from PSU itself, i don't really know what's wrong with the PSU

i did, only full of dust which i cleaned and double check see if any caps leakage or whatsoever... unfortunately - none , ...

@icemocha
the voltage fluctuation there quite acceptable la, don't worry

btw, keep your screenshot in size 800 x 600 or below, or else, use thumbnails , or at least... spoiler la...

off all PSU listed here, if i were you, i'd go for OP650... why?

1. single 60A +12V rail
2. powerful +3.3 and +5.00 rail too
3. silent
4. non-modular type
5. it's silverstone - i'm Silverstone ST56ZF user

why not having DA750? because it's modular type

why not having ST75ZF? because it's multi-rail design

why not Corsair? because i hate Corsair

why not Enermax? because used to love old Enermax product, but now... i think it's just unreliable

why not Gigabyte? it's a good PSU, but i simply don't like as well as it's motherboard

i can't really explain in details, but from what i understand, IMO la... modular seems harder to manage those cables (yala... because the cables coming out from from all over PSU unlike modular coming out from one spot you know what i mean?), another thing is... modular vs non-modular... we got voltage regulation loss due to that modular design... like i said earlier... i can't really explain in details

secondly...
i just don't like modular design, it hurts my eyes badly


no offense , but that's my personal preference , IMO getting a good PSU is like one time big investment, get a good and can last long than get a lousy, cheaper but can't last longer

for example...
Silverstone ST56ZF vs Silverstone ST56F

those were same wattage, same company but difference is the price and the spec, why would i choose ST56ZF instead of ST56F? because it's single rail design that's all... as i said earlier... when buyinga new PSU, should be single rail, non-modular design, heavier the better, effective wattage @50°C (that's one of good reason why i choose Silverstone...) and so on...

OP650 , why? it's single 54A rail... that's why... single rail always better than multi-rail design...

, i thought when mentioning multi-rail, everybody knows it's dual-rail, tri-rail, quad-rail even more rail thingy... so, it's just single rail and multi-rail...

easy... get 1kW PSU, Galaxy from Enermax? OP1000, DA1000, ST1000 from Silverstone? PC Power & Cooling maybe

FSP got 26 products

my bad... it's Seasonic... 30 products

... you should be Quiet... this PSU is rare le... none avail in Malaysia

it's a good PSU i must say

eh... sis, kiddin ye...

got what... Silverstone ST56ZF , RM500

one single fat rail already give me peace of mind... , i will definitely not getting those multi-rail, combined rail or whatsoever , errr... plus modular type too... i won't getting that... , it's just my personal preference about getting new PSU

IMO... most, i mean... almost 100% of available PSU do have ripple, the only PSU not having ripple as other PSU (lowest ripple) is PC Power & Cooling ...

errr... that's what i read la from JonnyGuru.Com, eXtremeSystem.Org

, aiyoh... your E2140 does not deserve that kind of PSU, unless you're using Quad Core kaaa, not to mention the price is...

@everyone
anyone knows what is the device that read how much wattage draws from our system/PC? i've seen a lot @PSU reviewer... does this device can be used on other electric stuff such as TVs, Radios?

for +12V Rail, it is highly recommended that you get at least 30A either single or combine +12V Rail

i'd go for Zeus 560W

why?

it's single 38A +12V Rail, non-modular with 80% @50°C (they claimed )...
