Good PSU?

[Nightmare225]

I was just wondering if this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817189007
Was a good PSU for my next rig, which will include a 7950GX2 and E6600 Core Duo 2, both of which will be overclocked?

I hear that XClio tends to be a pretty good brand.

I hear that XClio PSUs are made by Antec.

Antec does not "make" PSUs. Nor do they build cases for that matter.

OP, If you really feel you need a 600W, quad rail PSU, Go to http://www.ewiz.com/ and buy the Enhance ENS-0560G for $104. You might save a few bucks via Froogle. If you decide 500W will do'er, look at the ENP-5150GH at eWiz for $69.

Overkill.

Both made by Channel well IIRC.

I had the xclio 450w and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone looking to oc. I couldn't get a stable clock until I replaced it.

I don't know about the 600w but my experince with the 450w would lead me to believe you can do better for your money. Look at the enhance Galvanized mentions or a fortron.

600 watts is overkill, 500 watts is more then plenty even considering overclocking. Xcilo is built by Channel Well, and maybe some Antec still is are but they are definitely having quality problems.

I like Galvanized's Enhance recommendation, I would also give the Seasonic S12 a look.
