Fry's Bayarea Antec TruePower Trio 430 Watt Power Supply 9.99 after 40.00 MIR

[esquared]

This is at Fry's Bayarea and possibly other areas and states with a Fry's B&M. It's not good at Fry's.com.

The 430 Truepower Trio is supposed to be built by Seasonic. It's an Antec AQ5 - which means it has a 5 year warranty. Price is 49.99 with a 40.00 MIR.

The Antec NSK 4480 case comes with a 380W Earthwatts power supply, also supposed to be made by Seasonic. Experts, please correct me if I am wrong. It's 64.99 with a 40.00 MIR.

I bought mine yesterday at and there were at least a couple dozen powers supplies and a dozen or more cases at the Brokaw Fry's. Sale is good until 11-27-07 if they last.

I have linked to the Fry's.com items only for reference of the specs for interested people. Ropads are also linked in the SJMN. Antec rebates are on the slower side but I have never had to call about one. They state 12 weeks in the rebate form but they seem to come slightly before that.

A good find. I need a power supply, so it can be a reason to drive 20 miles.

I could use a new power supply for my future build.

Also available in S Cal.

The TP Trio 430 works fine with my IP35-E. That said, there are confirmed reports about Trio not posting with some P35 boards. My unit comes with one main Hitachi filter cap and OST 105C caps. This is a Seasonic-built PSU. The 120mm ADDA high speed fan is quiet at idle and under load (about 180 watts/E4300 @ 3.49GHz Orthos large). Very good voltage regulation (12.13 to 12.15VDC). Calibrated DMM shows less than 0.02V drop @ +12VDC rail under load. Heat output is minimal. Will need to run more tests to check efficiency. Performance is very close to Antec Earthwatts 500 based on my first impression. Note that this PSU comes with 4 pin plug and one PCI-E 6-pin plug.

PSU is suppose to deliver 34A @ +12VDC. Not sure if this is a single rail PSU, yet.

BTW, all cables are fully sleeved. This is a very nice PSU for $10 AR.

Okay...took apart the PSU. Hey, it's only $14 out-the-door AR. Based on visual examination of the PCB, this is probably a single +12VDC rail PSU. Don't have access to that fancy power tester at this time to confirm this.

Couldn't find any quality review of this PSU via GOOG.
