the latest/current enermax models has a tendency of going kaboom.

shawty himself has gone through a few (i think 3) enermax PSUs that died.

so Enermax would be out of the picture huh?...
But corsair PSU is so so exp... i mean more than what i thought. about RM500 for 520W...

Hmm.... i know i can google but can anyone of you tell me more/expr about Gigabyte Odin GT 550W? I need to know the real experience rather than blindly just follow what the reviews said.

What's the diff from Pro?

Pls advice....

ok.
its very simple.
Odin GT has P-Tuner which is the utility software.
It can control the PSU fan speed, read the psu temperaure, read 4 thermal sensors temeperaure, read the Wattage usage.

While Odin Pro just like normal psu only. Cant use the software. wink.gif

But the price is different about Rm50 if not wrong.

add: the Odin GT also comes with 4 Thermal sensors which can let you place any component surface to check the temperature.

So are you using one?
Is it reliable? Will it provide stable power?
But how come this PSU is so good when gigabyte is actually manuf mostly on mobo?

Why not just ask me who experienced the 3 dead Enermax PSU's?

1) Enermax Liberty 500W died in 2 Months 29 days.
2) Enermax Liberty 620W died in 3 months.
3) Enermax Galaxy 1000W died in 3 and a half months.

You called that the best PSU manufacturer?
I LOL'ed.

Now i'm using Silverstone.
I got 3 in my hand.

1) Silverstone OP650 - Already 8 months and working perfectly.
2) Silverstone DA750 - Already 5 months and working perfectly.
3) Silverstone OP1000 - Already 4 & a half months and working perfectly.

None of my Silverstone PSU's ever gave me problems.
Do you still think Enermax is the best PSU manufacturer? rolleyes.gif

To me, Enermax is the worst PSU manufacturer.

Owh, should i call empire23 and tell him his side of story in here about his 3 Enermax PSU died?

as i explain b4, take consideration on total wattage then divided by 12, you get the total amperage. and yeah, gigabyte odin gt 550w can power up your pc.
