PSU Recomendation

[Zebo]

Souldkeeper you are woefully misinformed and stuck in pre-1000mhz days. The 12V rail is everything. Read firingsquad.coms Guide about "how to choose a PSU", every modern processor like Athlon and PIV gets power from the +12v rail. The modern video cards use >15A off the 12V. The 12v is the most important rail in a PSU that determines the whole stability the +3.3v & +5v are basically not very important at all. All platter and drives movement is done by 12V rail. It's expensive to give 12 which is why the others hype other voltages and fail on the 12.

how about you read my middle finger flicking you off

the truth is you just wanna argue with someone cause yur a troll so go post after someone else's posts in every thread.

 

[Zebo]

What would you know about truth? You refuse to read anything and spout unsupported BS.

Pointing out these important details is not trolling it helps buyers make informed choices, what you are doing is trolling. "12v rail is overrated" means nothing without support of explination. Now take that middle finger and type why 3.3 and 5's are so so important.

hahaha maybe you didn't see the "imo" part
besides if i wanted to be told to read stuff i would go to school or something

/me wonders who will get the last post/word in this thread

funny how people wanna argue with you for having an opinion these days

i gave all the explanation i needed.
if you want more explanation maybe you can pm yurself that reading yur tryin to pimp to me

 

[Zebo]

Fair enough. Here a piece which may change your opinion. Maybe not but it's worth a read.

well thanks for the article
it's not saying anything contrary to what i've said here

memory, sound, vid, etc and almost everything on the motherboard pulls from the 5v and/or 3v rails in some quantitative form.

if yur buying a 450watt psu or greater with a good amount over 20amps on the 12v rail and comparable amps on the 3/5v as a 300 or 350 then what's the point, unless yur gonna use all that 12v "current" and are blind to the fact that demands for 3.3v and 5v increase too......

if yur doing some insane memory overclocking for example it's good to know that you got something more than overkill on the 12v current under the hood

edit: anyways i understand the ego trip that comes with 10k posts i don't hate you
today's just one of those arguing days
/me spent a few hours in the dmv today

I appreciate the the enlightment that can often come from conflict.

It may be unfair of me to base my Enermax opinion on my refurb experiance (which is why I came clean).

The Sparkle 550 specs do look a lot like the 510 ATX's.

I have read reviews of the 510 which were very favorable and the interior picts were impressive. Better than the Enermax, for what that's worth. I cannot find interior picts of the Sparkle.

I do not want to spend 1$ more than I have to to ensure adequate, quality power.

And I don't believe in $200 interconnects, $300 speaker cables, or $400 power cables.

 

[Soulkeeper]

yeah the voltage pots, potentometers, resistors, or whatever they wanna call them are a nice feature to have
wether they are internal or external
that might be a feature to look for on yur psu purchase too

/me puts his middle finger away and retracts the troll statements
hehe

No one's even mentioned the Thermaltake series yet.

I've used the Antec True430watt and while it was nice, i actually preferred and picked up
the Thermaltake Purepower 480Watt.

After using both, i ended up liking the purepower more. Very heavy duty power supply, rails are excellent and this power supply runs much cooler than the Antec True series i've tried.

A buddy at work also has the same unit and loves it. Also has very heavy duty and long wiring for your drives and/or larger cases.

Great buy at newegg right now, got it for $55 plus $6 shipping.

Antec all the way..!!!
