New Power Supply Released from Antec...

[Nightmare225]

THe TruPower Trio has been released on NEwegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817371001

And I was wondering if it was a good idea to get it over the OCZ GamerXStream 700W that I was planning to buy. This new one has 3 13V rails, will that somehow help my computer?

It won't help any more than the 4 12v rails on the gamexstream, but like I told you in your other thread: you don't need that much power. Plus untill this porduct proves A LOT better in terms of longevity and quality, I would not take a chance with antec. I'm not saying they're terrible, however the concensus is split on their quality so that's a red flag. I'd rather buy from a mfg that has all good/excellent feedback. Get the 400w enermax liberty for your rig.

You are going SLI...So. Hmmm.

The only Antec I would consider; the newest of the NeoHE series. They are built by Seasonic and are OK.

The OCZ is just a rebadge FSP Epsilon and is a decent PSU that will serve you well.

The new Corsair HX620W built by Seasonic is really worth a lingering look. Reviewed here and elsewhere.

On the cheap and so much better than the Antec is the Enhance ENS-0560G. It will Froogle for <$120.
It's efficiency is only 72~76% but it's rails are rock solid. Read reviews on the Silverstone ST60F
because it is the exact same unit.

EDIT: As above, consider the Enermax liberty series.

NOTE: Avoid the new Mushkin PSUs

the p5w is sli capable? Oh..... I know the p5w dh is xfire compatable, but not sli yet i don't think. In the case of 2 gpus, 2 ultra high end ones such as the x1900xtx or7950gx2, you should go with ~600w psu. Perhaps a seasonic s12, enermax liberty, an ocz gamextream if you can get a really good deal on it, or like galvanized said, the 0560g. I thought I read somewhere that the neohe series have a lot of compatability issues or somethin...

You gotta search the Forums over at SPCR. There were/are lots of compatability issues with Antec vs ASUS.

I'm too lazy to look and link ATM.

The new Corsair 620 is killer. jonnyGURU was really impressed. Just as he was with the ENS-0560G earlyer.

Antec's naming convention "overrates" the true capacity of the PSU so beware.

Seasonic S12 500

My top choice for the price.
