PSU CM450W Real Power Enough for u...Even u OC also enough....
WHY PentiumD sark? This is my story...before i used E6850...i used PentiumD3.4GHZ....3Dmark06 result with my 2 8800GTS 320mb(OLD) SLI Now u know what is the result with PentiumD3.4ghz>>Oc to 4GHZ is 7985 WTF...2 8800 320mb SLI resut only 7985.....SHIT man...then i change E6850....it aC2D 3ghz >>OC to3.4ghz result is 12453(8800GTS 320mb SLI)!!!!! U see the c2d and PentiumD diffrent????????Now i using 8800gts 512mb SLI result is 14945.......SO..1 Word PentiumD sark with Nvidia 8Series!!!!!

bro.. i have to say that the silverstone strider series has issues.. and well, saying the least, the perpetrator of popularity for the strider series was no doubt a senior member in our community,
Enermax is a very good psu, besides having a very amperage on the 12V rails, the efficiency is also 80%. And very very reliable. Mistake none, Enermax is the way to go.

the continous power achieved by the psu depends on what ratings they give. Nowadays in PSUs, they give ratings of Peak and Max, that will help you figure out.

Between enermax & silverstone. Which gives better performance & the price difference? Are both those brand has power saving function such as Acbel PSU that will save power usage when your dvd-rom is not in use?

Nowadays in PSUs, they give ratings of Peak and Max, that will help you figure out. and combined, since the all the 12v rails get their main 12v from a single transformer providing all the dc volts. peak and max listed do not reflect usage in everyday pc's since because 12v1 and 12v2 will both be loaded concurrently and hence the need for a rated combined 12v output

yea... its a bit expensive but for TS's budget, its a great deal disregard the PC specs.
My reasons, strong +12V rail, low ripple and noise, modular, japanese caps, 80plus compliant at RM380.
