Its not. Have that on my realpower 550w and my friend's realpower 450w. Something to do about the mains current, not sure exactly what. Found it out when I tried power sources from different places (home, hostel, PC shop), some place got, some place none.

Edit : looks like I just found another of shawty's interesting threads..hehe..gonna be posting here a bit. Learned a lot from the 3-4 PSUs I blew up over the last 2 years.

Not only shawty has problem with the enermax. there are quite a few DFI users also face problem with enermax. (or maybe it's just incompatibility?)

Juz got my strider 560w.
Wow, its damn heavy. And somehow theres a sticker V3 (version 3 or something)
Compared to some of the reviews, mine comes with dual 20A @ both 12v rails. (40A total)
Tested on my system, the hissing is still there. (its actually my mobo's voltage regulator section is makin the noise doh.gif sad.gif )
So that pins out that my 370w psu is ok.
Guess my strider will go to garage sale section anytime soon (sorry silverstone, your product is good, but i need monies sad.gif )

normally, it's 18A for each 12V rail for older model. according to Silverstone Website, the latest one is 20A. so fast czone get the latest batch of psu.

anyway, i just found out a shop in lowyat that sells FSP Epsilon PSU. icon_idea.gif

since each 12v rail is about 20A, kinda high even compare with those high quality qual rail psu (if compare just the 12v rail, which is normally 18A only). so, can the acbel ipower psu support overclocking of e6300 together with stock 8800gts 320MB? in the past, ppl can use this psu to support overclocking of the DFI nf4 ultra-D kaw kaw, stable summore.

i doubt all those online psu calculator. rclxub.gif if we calculate with 1 hdd + 1 odd + 5 fans with the above spec, less than 400w psu also enough. sweat.gif

from wat i heard from online..min 26A is required for each rail for high end system...and it is better to have less rail ..

the online psu calculator is just a reference for us..not the exact value  tongue.gif  tongue.gif
*
if 26A per rail is considered just okay, what about all those high quality quad rail psu like FSP epsilon? epsilon cannot power up a 8800GTX?

erk.. what is the different between extreme power and real power?
*
extreme power ratings are not true power.
real power ratings are true contunuous power. hence, more expensive.

i'm using Coolermaster True Power 450W (aka Acbel 450W) for 3 years already and still rocks. Past few months i upgraded my system from athlon k8 to c2d. I dint change my CM PSU and still using it for my c2d. My current system is rock stable @1.86GHz until when i tried to OC it above 2.7GHz. I suspected it might be power supply problem. And guess what, it is.

noob question,

how to identify single rail, dual rail?
*
if you see sth like 12V=50A, it is single rail.
if you see 12V1=20A, 12V2=20A, it is dual rail.
