nope...
just for good looking 1 Added on November 26, 2007, 6:30 ammodular 1 can attach n detach the wire mean u can easily do the wire management since not all the wire is going to be used for example u need 1 molex for rom 1 more for hard disk then the rest of the wire just messing ur case rite now that when the modular psu have the advantage just detach the extra wire mah This post has been edited by nelienuxe_sara: Nov 26 2007, 06:30 AM |

QUOTE(DaRkSyThE @ Nov 25 2007, 09:43 PM) @lehteck Yea, as i said, the buzzing sound is not something dangerous but it can be annoying at times. At least it scared me last time well, i only do reviews for my sponsors so if you sponsor me okay la of course there are strings attached @akachester yeah the buzzing sound is there[for those that are scared, the buzzing sound is normal for PSUs with high efficiency. the buzzing sounds occur with SilverStone PSUs with the 80Plus Structure, but it is in no way dangerous Modular PSUs are not to say unreliable but still their reliability is still yet to be proven. but personally i like the fact that you can move cables around. but performance, im not to savvy bout it. but hey, may i also repeat that high end manafacturers such as Corsair, Enermax, Hiper and Silverstone are deemed to be reliable manafacturers for modular PSUs. others like cooler master, gigabyte, thermaltake (though their 1kW+ PSUs are apparently solid.) and Mushkin which are still relatively new to the market, its really up to you to make that choice. I'm not here to ban you guys from modular PSUs, just buy them from reputable companies that have been in this industry for a long time. they would have done all their research and stuff oh yeah, and guys let me know what you want me to review from SIlverStone next. I'll see what I can do P.S: I would really love to see a review on the OP650 here. QUOTE(nelienuxe_sara @ Nov 26 2007, 06:27 AM) nope... Cable management on modular PSU had been discussed before and it really depends on a persons rig. If you are owning a rig that comes with little hardware, yes, cable management on modular PSU is better as unused cables can be taken out easily. However, if you rig are full of hardwares and almost every single cable is occupied, then having a normal PSU would be better as all cables are coming out from a single place and thus, allowing better cable management. just for good looking 1 Added on November 26, 2007, 6:30 ammodular 1 can attach n detach the wire mean u can easily do the wire management since not all the wire is going to be used for example u need 1 molex for rom 1 more for hard disk then the rest of the wire just messing ur case rite now that when the modular psu have the advantage just detach the extra wire mah Regarding other issues, many enthuasist still doubts the reliability and capability of modular PSUs. Not sure how reliable are they.. |

QUOTE(hypermax @ Nov 24 2007, 09:35 PM) I've tested this psu with the 8800ultra, run a few rounds of 3dmark06 continuously also no prob at all, i would say, this is 1 of the best value for money psu. Bsides, 3 years warranty is the best edge at the moment. |
