Good Deal On Power Supply (550 Watts )

[KROME]

Found these prices from Upgradecenterinc.com Plus free shipping cant beat it unfourtunatly doesnt really give specs on power supplies so can really say if its hot or not

Power Supply


550 Watts = 49 shipped

500 Watts = 39 shipped


called store and was told that the 550 has 6 power connectors and also two P4 connectors and 2 floppy connectors and is AMD and Intel Approved

Not trying to thread crap, but raw number of watts is not nearly as important as the wattage on the 3.3V and 5V rails. I note that the place with the power supply doesn't indicate manufacturer or specs. That's why I buy from NewEgg, because you can find that info out.

have any idea what brand it is? no brand=freezing cold

Idiot, eh?

You probably expect that there's somebody who reads AT who is omniscient enough, or might've ordered this item from place to be able to make the call based on information you know isn't there. You may possibly be right ...

Course, you took the time to make the call and post here ... weren't you aware of what's important when you need to know about power supplies? Did you at least ask the company the name of the manufacturer and the model number of the PS? You did, and they didn't know? That info might be helpful. Oh, no, wait, those are questions an IDIOT asks. I better shut up now before I show more of my ignorance.
