[chrisrod01]

I have two PSU that i think that are good but i want your guys opinionsOCZ or the FSP. Which one of these two are the best or if there are any other good ones in the market please tellme. I need an answer cause im buying today as long as a Lian-Li case

That ocz is awesome, I might have to snatch one of those! 26A on the 12v ... not bad

Seasonic S12s are also worth looking at and would probably be the quietest.

The OCZ and FSP models are good too.

That FSP looks good 70% Efficiency? Not sure how that figures in to the equation, Here is another FSP Plain Jane, I like Mine!!!!!

For whatever it might be worth, Seasonics have always led in efficiency (the S12s claim 80%). Not sure how much is factors into real-world performance/savings on energy or anything like that.

PC Power and Cooling.

Generic PSU = nono.

Prohibitively expensive and overkill for the vast majority of consumer-level uses. Their Silencer line is based on Seasonic parts, and the TurboCool line might be something like Fortron/FSP, so you could get virtually the same PSU cheaper through a different brand.

Antec TPII series, 430W to 550W.

one for the fsp530. great price for the performance.

Ditto. They are expensive but you get what you pay for. They are already sleeved and will power up what you throw at them. Very well made.

directron sells FSP/SPI units VERY resonably proced. PC power and cooling used to be all made by FSP, now just some of their PSU's are rebadged units.

Have you considered this?
http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=17-103-464&depa=0
It has really good specs for the price. 24pin with 4pins that disconnect so it can work with 20 pin, pci-e power connector 460w, 33a on 12v.

 

[chrisrod01]

Any more PSU'S?

 

[Promethply]

I would recommend the Antec TruepowerII, especially the 550W ones:

Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550

 

[sniperruff]

i'd go with the forton but damn that is one expensive PSU.

Enermax makes some high quality consumer psu's as well

Yes, but if you're thinking about an Antec or Enermax PSU, consider an XClio--they're made by the same OEM and are really good for cheaper units. Can't believe I forgot about these originally...

 

[jonnyGURU]

A choice between a modular and a non-modular power supply?

Man.. You ARE indecisive. :roll:

 

[wisdomtooth]

I would get the Seasonics. They have been certified by 80-plus.org as being 80% efficient through their operating range, which has very real benefits, like a cooler-running PSU (less waste heat generated).

Fortron is also jumping on the 80% bandwagon with their new Green series (supposed to be 80%+ efficient too), plus Enermax has one that also claims to be 80%+... But for now, stick with the proven Seasonic, which also gives you the side benefit of being THE quietest fan-cooled PSU your money can buy.

 

[Zepper]

The Xclio 450 (made by Channel Well same as Antec, etc.) is back in stock at Newegg - but I wouldn't dawdle. As soon as the ATers find out they'll be gone. Ooops... Dang I wish I needed a PSU about now.

Another vote for the Seasonic S12. Efficient, cool, quiet, stable.
