Chieftec PSUs ?

[kollapse]

Hi, I just found a nice offer for a Chieftec 650 W PSU (4 x 12 V rails @ 18 A).

I'm just wondering: Is Chieftec a good company? Can I trust their products? Has anyone else tried their PSU/products?
I never heard of Chieftec until recently. I just hope this isn't some cheap company.

I had a Chieftec, I think 380 or 400 watt. It was an upgrade from my Codegen 350W that came with my case. It wasn't much better, it still wasn't enough for my new X850Pro video card. I finally upgraded to a 520W SuperFlower PSU.

IIRC, Chieftec is HiPower or HighPower or whatever their name is.

Define "nice offer".

Free?

It may not be as good of a deal as you may think.

From what I've read some time back, Antec rebadges some Chieftecs as their own. Dont know if they still do.

That's cases, not power supplies. Neither Antec nor Chiftec actually MAKE power supplies, so one wouldn't rebrand the other for sure.
