First 939 MB build - need Power Supply help

That's hilarious, I get almost those exact voltages with my motherboard sensor How's that for consistency? God I love this PSU.[/quote]

Are you OCing ?

Thanks for the feedback on this. Looks like the PSU question has been answered . . . now to figure out the MB.

thats a nice PSU at a good price, how big is your case though?
It will take some work to arrange the myriad of cables that come out of that PSU to get it clean looking.

I going with the Cooler Master Wavemaster. It's a decent looking all Aluminium Case, should have a fair amount a space I believe.

The Enermax 495 V2.0 averages 77% efficiency. It is currently my favorite VALUE PSU.

I'm glad to hear that

After seeing some Power Calculators, I'm just hoping it's enough and that I won't have any issues.

Nope. If you're referring to the VCore, I think it's just my motherboard. On a different one it's reported as 1.58.

Although over in the UK when the choice is between Enermax and Tagan, my favourite is Tagan especially given it being single rail, fan placement for P180 and 3yr warranty.

One of the previous posts in this thread listed a couple of reviews for the Tagan. In looking one of those reviews over, it mentioned that the cables were short. I think if you're getting a p180 case, the Tagan would not be a good choice.

Seasonic, Enermax or Tagan I'd say.

The 530W unit with 32A on +12V and 48A on +5v is nice for you all your future needs.

Tagan is bulit by Topower, a 2nd tier manufacture. Not at all in the same class as Seasonic.

The guts of the Tagan (and OCZ by the way) may be made by Topower, but after using the Tagan 480W for the past year I can safely say it's a first-rate and rock-solid PSU. It's silent and the build quality is second to none. If the 530W or 580W Tagan units were available in the US, I would upgrade to one of those in a heartbeat. I'm hoping they'll make it to this side of the Atlantic soon.
