[ComputerGuy87]

Hi

[ComputerGuy87]

[Squid_Spit]

I'll add to it, Fortron, Sparkle, Topower, Seasonic, Silverstone, Meridian Xclio,

[Squid_Spit]

They're pretty much all good just need to observe the Amperage on the +12v rail.

the tagan 2force series psu's rock too; incredbly stable, loads of power, plenty of connectors and good cable length :)

You know, there's a specific PSU forum too in XtremeSystems Forums > Hardware > General Hardware > PSU's (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=177).

oh Sorry i did not know

I closed your other thread in the oc section (2 topics regarding the same question is a little too much).
As largon pointed out, we have a PSU section, where you can find most answers to your questions.
If you have problems regarding where to post your questions, feel free to contact one of the mods. We'll gladly help you out.

I'm moving this topic to the PSU section, where it actually belongs.

what do u think about antec smartpower 350w Model SL350SP
+5V=35A/+12v=16A/+3,3V=28A/-5V=0,5A/-12V+=0,8A/+5V SB=2,0A

I'd stay away from those.
At work, where we have a couple of P4 2.4Ghz running, not oc of course, we had 3 of those Antecs blow up after some time.

Good choices :
Tagan 430w and up
OCZ : all of them, although a 420W might be sufficient for you.
Enermax : good and reliable.
PC Power & Cooling : excellent PSU's but very pricey.
Fortron 530W, can be found for about 75$.
Seasonic seems to be very good too.

[ComputerGuy87]

k thanks for that bit of info is that with all antecs or just that make of Psu

I recommend an OCZ Powerstream PSU, been using this one for 5 months now and it works GREAT! :fact:

reason i am up dating is becasue i have a nasty Psu called Sumvision model number
ky-450atx on the +12V rail it has 10A wich really is just bad it gives off a load of heat that u could cook a egg on it not that i tryed it came with the case i guess u get what u pay for when u buy a £30/$55 case
