Hi
I am in the market for a new power supply and I am not sure what to buy.
I am tossing up between these brands
ANTEC
ENERMAX
THERMALTAKE
I have a amd 2600xp, 9600xt ati videocard, 40 gig hardrive and a dual layer dvd burner.
I am looking at a 450 watt or more.
So can any one tell me where I can get some comparisions and reviews?
Or can some one tell me what is a good one to buy and why?
Thanks in advance
 
The Enermax Whisper II 460W would be nice, if you can find it in your area. Here's a link to it at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=17-103-456&depa=0 It has a lot of 12-volt amperage (33 amps), which is where today's and tomorrow's high-end video cards and CPUs are probably going to demand the most power. And Enermax has earned a good reputation. I hope that helps 🙂
 
so I should look for high amps on the +12 volt?
I was look at power supplys with Separate 12V rails supply to MB/CPU is this good?
 
try TAGAN 480.
There was a comparison with an antec480, and the tagan came out better.
Do a search on google
 
So can anyone tell me if two 12volt rails at 18 amps each is better than one 12volt rail at 36 amps or not ?
Thanks
