Antec TruePower II 430W or Fortron BlueStorm 500W (really 460W)?

[Capt Caveman]

I have a Seasonic S12 and like it a lot but the Blue Storm is a great psu for the money. I also posted in the Hot Deals forum that the Blue Storm 500w can be had for $69 w/ free shipping at Actbuy.com

Either one ...
I'm a fan of those CoolerMaster units especially the new 500 watt model...I believe either Seasonic or Fortron is the real manufacturer.
I've seen more of the CoolerMaster psu's at prices beating both the Seasonic and the Fortron...go figure.
I used one of the 450 watt CM units in a build for a friend and it was THE quietest psu I've ever heard....that box was loaded with top end hardware and the psu never blinked. I was VERY impressed.

Blue Storm is a great PSU for the money.

I generally only buy units made by Forton or Seasonic, PCP&C being the exception. Seasonic is unbeatable from a noise perspective however.

Yes, that Seasonic unit would be great, but it is not available in Finland.

So, it would be TPII or BlueStorm...

Hmm... I don't know if they still have it, but these two places in Finland used to carry Seasonics before: shop.websales.fi and www.atk-verkkokauppa.com

Hope it pans out, HTH.

Thanks, I checked those links. www.atk-verkkokauppa.com seems to carry some Seasonics, but the most powerful unit that they have is Seasonic 350W Silent Power.

I would go with the true power... im not sure if other forum linking is allowed so i wont do it but in the OCforums a guy that is really into the specifications of psus did a review on it and he reccomended it...

im getting a 550watt truecontrol II, replacing the fan, and sleeving the cables.

lambchops3344,

Thanks!

I'm going to check OCforums.

OK, guys I'm after a 120mm black decent-railed PSU. I have a Coolmax 400w (NewEgg) and its great but lacks a 12v sense wire (for voltage adjustment; no pots either).

So, to all you XClio 450BL owners, does this PSU have sense wires or pots for all 3 voltages? If so, this IMO is the best PSU to buy for the money. Rails look great, quiet 120mm, black...

The Seasonics look nice as well, but the price drives me away. I'm not going to shell out $70+ when I know quality PSUs can be had on the cheap (Coolmax, Super Flower, etc.)
