Modstream 520 or Antec TP2.0 480?

[ImportantAwareness89]

I'm currently deciding between a:

OCZ Modstream 520W from Monarch which is $74
and
Antec TP2.0 480W $99 from Newegg

My worry with the OCZ PSU is that it's single rail and has a louder fan I heard? Furthermore, it's not as good with voltage ripples as the Antec.

However, I like the OCZ for its sleeved + twisted cables. Awesome stuff. The light is nice too.

I trust Antec for stability, quietness and great stability under load. Furthermore they have dual rails.

Is there a SIGNIFICANT difference between single and dual rails? Which do you prefer?

I prefer the Antec, however if it was the powerstream then OCZ all the way.

Why not just buy the Antec and sleeve it yourself?

What are you going to power? :confused:

I'd go with the Modstream personally.

[xman01]

some of those 480 dual12v can't power some highend sli systems

so it boils down to what you're powering
if it's the system in sig go with the antec
i personally don't like any mod psu

Neither of them are good at all. I would suggest a Fortron AX500-A or Sparkle FSP550-60PLG, depending on what you are powering. Other good choices are the OCZ Powerstream 520w and the Seasonic S12's.

From an electrical standpoint the TPII's are good, but the fan is a joke.
