Yo Yo, nice in pricing/power output ratio dude

PC P&C is nowhere nice in pricing.
I would say seasonic.
Tagan is not a bad brand afterall.

This Thread at XS is very nice where they rank the PSUs, which is, available at the 1st post

haha..but i think my power supply mayb no enough for my PD..only 420W..mayb will get another higher one in future..coz now when i OC to nearly 3.0Ghz.it d cost me almost 400W+-...

Ya, I know. Other apps like speedfan or RM cpu clock would show a stable Vcore. Just the CPU-z always shows fluctuation. Anybody using CPU-Z can confirm whether the Vcore fluctuates?

If so, the my PSU not a good overclocker PSU!  sad.gif

oh..my cpu-z also show fluctuation..around 0.01V also...

harsh but true one....but compare wif extreme power...is it better huh??is it enermax is the only reliable psu available??i believe that silverstone too can be categorized as reliable, but between both which one is better?
*
hehe..actually few brand also reliable-pls refer to the tier provided ..it is just depends on which u prefer more, its like nike and adidas, both also nice but if u prefer the nike name then u will buy nike stuff

since each 12v rail is about 20A, kinda high even compare with typical qual rail psu. 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

Its reliable bro. And the number it gives is actually higher than real life. A P4 system that was calculated to take up 219W actually only took up 160W. And that wasn't the only system I measured. My current AM2 X2 system is calculated to take up 192W, but actually takes up 96W only.
*
tats why it is advisable for all pc user to check their hardware power comsuption with this calculator b4 purchasing new psu...just as a reference in case u bought too low power psu and also can cut down budjet as u know ur power limit then u no need buy so high power psu lor...

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?
*
hahaha..i smell gun powder..u trying to shoot somebody?..wat i mean is...it is better to have less rail for a psu ..and for normal psu...it is recommanded to have 26 A per rail no matter how many rail it got.....get wat i mean bro? doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

actually it's becuz of the price... i can get Tagan easily cuz my boss got deal wif Tagan's supplier... smile.gif
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... sweat.gif  so i feel tat it's not stable enough for my current setup... also planning to play Crossfire wif HD2600XT... brows.gif

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..

[quote=harusame,Jul 20 2007, 11:48 AM]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"
*

[/quote]


hmmm..11.77?..varies around 0.3 from 12V..consider quite low d..gud psu should stay around 11.9 or 11.85...CM psu not really gud quality psu...peace bro..ehehe..just my 2nd sense..


Added on July 20, 2007, 4:06 pm
no word from my supplier also... unsure.gif 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... sweat.gif
But from their Waatage/price... i also believe it's from topower... sweat.gif

[/quote]

hehe..i think the price should be ok d lor..last time when tagan just came out..i bought their 420W at around rm380 leh

i also think non modular is better...coz with the modular ..i think there will be some power loss on the connector there..but for a neat cable management the modular is better...

so stil up to the user..hehe..whether go for performance or the look
