Just something to replace my 350W +12V@16A Antec. I will get a good one when I build again, one with all the new features and top quality.


Update:

I want to get this:

450W OCZ, any objections? Will this be furure proof for say a year?

Update: OCZ ordered from Newegg. Thanks for the discussion.

Boo!

The Aspire looks a lot stronger on the rails specially on the 12v 🙂 But is more expensive

Morning bump, no activity late at night.

i'd get the 1st one just me though

 

[Gurck]

Personally I'd get neither, and instead opt for a quality manufacturer.

yes, but he is saying pick outs these two rule breaker ! D:

 

[Todd33]

I could get a good one now and transfer it to a new system (assuming ATX livesa for a while) in a year or so. I figued a $50 PSU now and a $100 PSU later is better than a $150 PSU now.

 

[Insomniak]

Get another Antec for chrissakes. Stay with the quality brands.

 

[Todd33]

Ok, I'm going with the OCZ 450W for $90 and hope it is enough for my next system. Any last thoughts?

Why not just get a $100-120 PSU now, from a reputable maker like Antec or Enermax, and then you won't NEED to get another PSU later?

 

[ComatoseDelirium]

Since when is Aspire considered generic? anyways, you could dish out like 5 more bucks and get a 400 watt antec.

I think this antec : http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=17-103-912&depa=1 , still beats that aspire even though it has less watts 🙂

 

[Amaroque]

Actually, he did say he was going with an OCZ ModStream 450 in his last post.

Must have replied while I was posting.

 

[ComatoseDelirium]

ocz is the best psu mentioned in this thread.

Antec true 430.....

 

[gwarbot]

go with the ocz one. It looks freekin sweet.

 

[Amaroque]

Antec and OCZ are both good. I'm partial towards Antec, but either are miles ahead of any generic PSU.

Brand name aside (which incidentally, is a reputable name), looking at the specs tells gives a couple of clues: Active PFC, which does not exist on the cheapies; and full range input of 90-240 volts (usually manually selected on cheaper PSUs). The efficiency, at 68%, isn't great, but it's acceptable.

A lot of people haven't heard of Seasonic either, but they're also among the best.

Hehhe, do a search for zippy/emac at xtremesystems nd ocforums. Some people changed to theis ps and are really happy. Higher and more stle ocs with the zippy ps. One guy went from an Enermax 660watt to the zippy 700watt and his oc went from 3.2 gig not fully stable to 3.4 gig completely stable on an athlon fx-55 🙂 Only thing that changed was the ps. They are not really popular because they are server grade ps and not consummer ps.
