J0k3r Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I am definitely a fan of the two below. These are 2 to live and die by, no dizzy and for rizzy to b00t Top Brand List Zalman Sparkle Seasonic Corsair (don't go budget line) Here be my next one http://www.alwayslowest.com/AL/index.cfm?fuseaction=shop.dspSpecs&part=2498656 Here are some powersupplies to avoid IMO: Enermax: Had one literally blow up on me. A major cap blew and there were balls of sparks :) Look liked a super nova flew out of the back of the b0x. Epower: Shit output. Well overrated. Reminds me of the $20 cheapYz :) Ultra: Weak output and I had one bit the dust in a few months with a very minor load. Here are some worth a look, not topshelf, but "OK" if you can't score topshelf.

Pic0o Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Same for Sparkle on part gets. One of my 530w were trippin out on an AGP card, but then the 400 Boss'd that same rig up np. Otherwise, pretty sure all old ones are still kickin around. Link to comment
NoMeV Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 any thoughts on a Raid Max ps for the low budget builds? i was lookin at these two in particular... (only cuz the sparkles out of my league atm) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152028 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152035 Link to comment
J0k3r Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I am not a big fan of raidmax, but the 630w should do you fine. Just for shits, here are some others to peep out as well. They are in order of choice, top down. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703026 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817553009 Or ANY of these; http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007657%2050001647&IsNodeId=1&name=Zalman%20Tech%20Co.%2c%20Ltd Link to comment
nick Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 SeaSonic basically shits greatness. XFX was rebranding SeaSonics awhile ago for cheap as well and I dunno if they still are but those were some good deals. Antec has the EarthWatts series which I've never had problems with either, but I do remember there is a dud in said series (the 650w?). This guy reviews power supplies and usually subjects units to some pretty brutal hotbox torture as a test metric: http://www.jonnyguru.com/ Generally pretty solid info. I haven't really found any other comparable review sites for PSUs, though [H]ard and AnandTech usually do a good job. Link to comment
