How good are Enlight PSUs?

[grrl]

I can't find any reviews online. Is that because they are no good? Or are they a rebadged brand or a supplier for other brands?

NewEgg has the 420W P4 Power Supply EN-8420934 - RETAIL for $49 shipped, but the specs seem a bit inflated, especially the 12v line:

Output: +3.3V@35A;+5V@35A;-5V@1A;+12V@33A;-12V@1A;+5VSB@2.2A

I had a 300W Enlight powering a 1.2 Athlon, 80GB, 30GB hard drives, two optical drives, a GF4 Ti 4400, and a SB audigy for a long time without any stability problems. Then again, there was no overclocking on that system either.

It's my first back-up power supply as of now if one of my goes bad until I get a newer one.

Then again, YMMW.

I can only speak from the AMD side of the fence, but I've built a lot of AMD PCs over the last couple of years using Enlight cases and their PSUs. I've never had one fail or cause me any problems. In fact, the PC that was my primary until a few days ago is powered by an Enlight 300W. I have that thing loaded down (XP1500+, GF4 ti4200, 2 HDs, 1 CDRW, 1 DVD ROM, sound card, TV capture card, 2 NICs and a couple of USB devices at any given time). Never had any problems and it stays on 24/7

I have no probs with Enlight either. I've had mine for 2 yrs... 1700+ oc'd, epox 8kha+, 512 ddr, dvd, cdr, 2 hdds, sound, tv capture, nic, USBs too... so they're good

I have two Enlight PSUs. A 300 W one has been in use for 2 1/2 years on an AMD system (actually two since a recent upgrade) and has been very solid. The other is only a month old, so no track record yet. But no sign of problems yet either.

im running this

and it works great, my only complaint is that there are too many connecters and the cables are long. takes up allot of space, but i guess if you need it

they are rebranded, this is the original form. they are also identical to the thermaltake ones

My problem was I never had enough connectors on the 300W, but I guess you don't want to overload it.

I would MUCH rather the cables be too long than too short.
