New power supply options
Hi,
I'm looking at buying a new psu and initially had my eye on a 500w Fortron Blue Storm until I spotted this.
Here's a review on the psu:
http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/r...-N_550W_1.html
The thing that's swaying me towards this is the adjustable pots for the 5v/12v and the modular connectors. My budget is limited so the OCZ 520w powerstream is out of the equation since it's double the price over here(au$129 for the superflower vs au$232 for the 520w Powerstream).
Since I'll probably be moving to the DFI nf4, venice 3200 and 6600GT soon, I'll be needing a new psu soon so why not replace it with my Antec 430w Truepower now.
So some of my questions:
Does anyone have this psu and care to comment?
Will a 24pin psu work in my current 20pin nf3(Gigabyte K8NS-939) board?
My budget is au$150(~ us$120) so roughly the choices I have are Superflower 500w Modular, Topower P6 520w, Tagan 480w, Fortron FSP 500w Blue Storm, Antec 550w Truecontrol.
Unfortunately the 530w Fortron/Aopen is very expensive here retailing at us$185.

if your buying a new psu, i would go with the antec NeoPower 480watt psu

Yes, TTGI is good.
STAY AWAY FROM ANTEC PSU! SUDDEN DIYING, LOW POWER, BAD RATING.

Mate why not get the 550W GTR 38A/12V from www.auspcmarket.com.au $137 bucks if you need higher amped 5V get the 550W Coolmax CR-550B http://www.hdaudiovisual.com.au/pc/coolmax_cr550b.htm which also has 1x PCI-E connector
priced at http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/...q=550W+Coolmax

Perhaps cause it looks dodgy. i considered it and, well, didnt really trust it. 38amp 12v rail for 137?

yeah I'm on a antec at the moment but I'd like to move away from antec's
eva,
I heard they weren't that good and not that much better than generic
Someone posted here I think that those brands were to be avoided

yeah that was in my thread on this forum but works fine for my 2x 6800GT PCI-E SLI rig oc'd
