older Enermax 431w
it's got fairly weak 5v and 12v rails when you really start stressing it.

3 X 300w Enhance, tweaked 5/12 and 3.3 rails
2 X 350w Enhance, tweaked 5/12 and 3.3 rails
1 TTGI 520w, tweaked 5/12, need to bump the 3.3, it's at 3.25 under load.
Like them all, like the TTGI best ;)

TTGI 420w. Owns all but PCPC.
2x Enermax 365. Rails suck, but they work.
Raidmax 450w. Good rails, but I doubt the quality.

Enermax 431W whisper model...
It displays low 5v rail and hi 12v during stress with MBM or USDM...
I checked with a multimeter and the 5v is higher and the 12v is even higher...
So far it's been great... Can't really complain...

PC Power & Cooling 510w ATX, Antec 550 truepower, Toppower 550
Do I have to say anything about the PC P&C ? hehe
The truepower is rock solid stable, but all of the rails are low and no way to adjust.
the Toppower is ok, rails are fine unless under really heavy load on the 5 or 3v lines. Its pretty though ! all aluminum and the cables are very neatly done. hehe
Edit: I've never owned a TTGI but have heard nothing but great stuff about them, and will probably get one for my next general purpose rig.

Antec true Power 430...rock stable 12.03, 5.01, 3.34 on a 1700+ at 2.6 ghz
:( Q-Tec 550watt Dual Fan gold :( its ok, the dual fans keep it running cool, never had troubles with it. Good for a cheap PSU (£30 - £40)

Enermax EG451P-VE 3.0 years old KD7- R 5 V = 5.05 V;12V = 11.86V
Enermax EG351P-VE 2.5 years old KX7- R 5 V = 5.00 V; 12V = 12.04 V
no probs with both :)

300W Q-Technology (not Q-TEC!) Ultra Silent/Quiet
It runs my XP1700@2.2GHz 1.92v and voltmodded R9700 just fine, and is really silent, I'm using watercooling for cpu and radeon and the radiator doesn't even have fans, still the psu is dead silent without any other noise makers that could cover it's noise.
(Also replaced the mobo NB hsf with a pasive heatsink because it was so loud)

Cheiftec 340W with tweaked rails.
Runs my 2.6gig XP1700 + radeon 9700 Pro fine :)

TTGI 520W here... Very very good rails... I can run my p4 2.4C upto 3,64 ghz 1,8V with +12 at 12,54 +5 at 5,14 and +3.3 at 3,41 ;)
p.s.: Adjusted ;)
At some low vcore... rails are too good :D

Antec TruePower 480W
Stable as hell my old Zalman 300W was more silent but also Mr Random Reboot :)

FSP 350W
same hardware as the 400W psu from fsp. max load it can take is 450W, it can probably even take more but it has an automatic shut down @450W so it doesnt get damaged.
its very silent, almost dont hear anything from it. 12v line is great, 5v line isnt. when i set the vcore of my 1700 to 2v to reach 2400ish speeds the 5v line drops to 4.8v : /

turn up the pot man :D
No pots in the Super Flower, at least not in my 500W Super Flower.
Bought a PC Power&Cooling Turbo-cool 510 last week, but the 3.3 sucks hard. I have the pot turned all the way to the maximum, and it gives me exactly 3.30 idle. With full load it drops to 3.26 (on a Abit IC-7).
Worst $200 I ever spend.

4 - Sparkle(FSP) 350w supplies all running solidly over 5.00v full load.

Man, I need another 35 bucks.

Antec true power 430 in my main rig (dual xp on k7d master)
The best performing psu on a uni proc rig is a 7 dollar generic 500w psu I bought about a month and a half ago. Go figure:rolleyes:

My true 550 is really straining on the 12v and 3.3.. Dont know which to believe though. Using a multimeter, Im getting 11.98 off the molex, but HW doctor and MBM show 11.5 on the board.
The ttgi 550 is a nice price, under $90 shipped. And some nice fan action too.

I picked up the ttgi 520 2 weeks ago and I love it. Slight tweakage on the rails gives me
3.3
5.08
12.16
funny cause at stock the 3.3 was fine(can't tweak anyway) and the 5 was at like 4,98 and the 12 was like 11.89 turned the pot and they seemed to compensate for eachother. The 12 would keep going up but the 5 started to stabilize right where I needed it.
Great psu with my 2,4 at 3,4.

I'm using an Enermax 550watt job....the one with 36a on the +12v rail:) thought I needed it for my Vapochill but my 350 watter did just as good:confused:
