350-450W Roundup

350-450W Roundup

Next time with more brands like Antec and CoolerMaster.

Is anybody interested in adapter tests? 19V devices with AC input and DC output for all known notebook brands, smartphones (via USB 5V), and PicoPSUs.

e.g.

I'd be interested in seeing some Gigabyte psu's reviewed- the better ones with 80+ certification (powerock) that might be worth getting and not the lower end Superb models.
 
Always nice to see these kinds of reviews/roundups. While we "enthusiasts" often go for higher end units, kind of tough to put a $120 PSU into a $400 computer for grandma to check email with.

I bought a Corsair CX430v2 for my HTPC build... I think it was $17 after rebate (which I received in about 3 weeks, believe it or not.) How on earth can you go wrong with that...! From the review, I lucked out with a good unit by buying a recognized brand on sale, but it's nice to see reviews like this.

Well, the reviewer (and a good chunk of AT readers) live in the EU so that's not entirely unexpected. Most of them are various rebrands of Chinese OEMs, so they're probably available in some form in the US.

That said, it would be nice to see how these units compare to something like the Seasonic SX2-430, which is apparently available at $60 street prices pretty easily.

I would like to see a roundup of mATX power supplies, for instance:

FSP Group FSP300-60GLS
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ERP1N7WAT0WXNC

DiabloTek PHD380M
http://www.amazon.com/Diablotek-380-...eywords=380phd

CoolMax CM-300
http://www.amazon.com/Coolmax-M-ATX-.../dp/B000C1DXR4

I just bought the Diablotek, so particular interest there. The adapter tests would also be good, but I'm more interested in the mATX PSU's.

Here's your roundup:

CoolMax and DiabloTek = fail

FSP = pass

You're welcome. 😀
