Need new power supply

[Poda]

I think my power supply is dying. I'm wondering if someone could recommend a good one. I need to power 3 hard drives, a dvd drive, a video card (FX 5900), and the motheboard itself (ECS K7S5A) which has an Athlon XP 2400. The current one I have is a Powmax 400 W. I'm looking for something that is quiet too and costs 50 dollars or less. Any suggestions?

FSP 450W, $52 from newegg, or the 400W one for a bit less. Hell a 350 is plenty.

Are you using sarcasm I may not be a pro on PSU's, but last I heard Okia was utter crap a little higher than the likes of Powmax and ATADC.

Er...

Why do you *think* your power supply is dying?

I don't know what happened to my post here but what you need is in my listing on For Sale/Trade. That mobo runs the CPU off the +5V rail so you need an old-style PSU with a STIFF +5V rail like the Fortron I have in my listing - click on the link in my sig. You could easily buy a new-style PSU of 550 Watts and it would crumple under that mobo.

.bh.

PS: Powmax is not a brand I'd suggest, even to VinDSL... .bh.

Ultra = Crap > Okia > Powmax > L &C

Yes, you would...

You've suggested Zippy/Emacs and Seasonic. What's the difference? :laugh:

Powmax = Crap, the others are fine...

But it also kills other components as well so suicide doesn't cover it all. Hmm, maybe it should be called the Powmax Kamakaze instead

Maybe the Powmax Islamist Fanatic...

I beg to differ. Even the low end V-Series PSUs arn't that bad. The first revsision of the Xconnect was the only bad thing in years. The X2 and X-Finity are very good.

I think Zipper was trying to goad a response out of me.

I don't *think* he was serious...
