THE MOST WANTED: PSU

[Bazikstano]

Hello, im gonna buy a new psu, here in chile. Iv got around 120bucks (60.000 chilean pesos)
for it.

I was thinking inFUENTE DE PODER COOLERMASTER EXTREME POWER 600W ATX 24 PINES for 43.000 pesos (80bucks)

or FUENTE DE PODER THERMALTAKE TR2 ATX 12V 2.0 500W PFC 20+4 PINES

The PSU is for a really overclocker Opteron 148 (CABNE)and for an eVGA n516 7800GT

which one should I get?
Thanks Bazikstano
PSU: there isnt any Antec in Chile, and of course the prices are higher than in the USA.

Yep I was thinking on this...and droping the Termaltake.

Men...but what would be the difference between the Enermax and the Coolermaster...(for my really overclocker and "high performance" system?. Estable Volatage and wattage?

Bazikstano
PS: do u speak spanish? xd

 

[Gagan]

Stay away from Coolermaster other than their Truepower

Honest opinion is try finding a slightly used OCZ powerstream 520/600, great PSU's

 

[Aznguy1872]

Seasonic S12!!! 500 w or 600 w

[Bazikstano]

@N7: u are right...what tried Gagan to say?
Yeap. I think that Im going to get ENERMAX EG585AX-FMA ATX 535W SLI PFC 2

@Aznguy1872: Here isnt any Seasonichttp

Another choise?

 

[Googer]

Links are dead.

 

[Bazikstano]

¿? There are fully fuctionally

Ah!! I was thinking...
what would be a better buy (and more overclocker xd)

To buy the Enermax PSU or to buy the coolermaster one and a Zalmman for the VGA.

would the Coolermaste resist an opteron 148 overclocked over 3.0(3.1,3.2, or something like that), eVGA 7800GT n516@515@1.3 and OCZ GOLD EL DDR400@500, 2x7K80 Hitachi Harddrivers, one optical unit, Blue ORBII an two fans?

I think you'll be just fine. My 450W coolermaster supports the following:
3700+ OC'd to 2.8ghz (1.45v)
2x512 pc3200 (2.70v)
7800GT
WD160JS hard drive
soundblaster live 7.1
one optical drive
four case fans

I don't know how much power I'm drawing exactly, but I'm guessing I peak at around 350W, or maybe a bit less.

Holy crap just saw your 600W coolermaster that you are looking at -- MORE than sufficient PSU. Maybe some other folks have had bad experiences with the coolermaster, but I haven't heard of any and have been pleased with both of mine.

Good reference m1ldslide1. Thanks to you xd..im gonna (maybe) get the Coolermaster PSU and Zalmann for my 7800gt

 

[KoolDrew]

The ONLY PSU's I would even bother considering at that site would be the Enermax 535w and the Antec I linked to.

 

[Bazikstano]

mmm.....

why?

XD

 

[Bazikstano]

.

 

[sniperruff]

the antec and enermax are the best ones on that site. TT's and CM are ok as second-tier PSU manufacturers

 

[Bazikstano]

I see.

But what would be a better use of my money?

Coolermaster 600W +Zalmann
Or Enermax (or Antec)?

 

[Ike0069]

Enermax.

 

[Bazikstano]

why¿

 

[Ike0069]

Enermax makes very good PSU's.

 

[Bazikstano]

thats right,...

but do I really need such strong PSU? :S

A quality PSU is very very important. The psu powers everything in your system. Thermaltake makes decent heatsinks, but their PSU's are weak and made with cheap components, and most coolermasters are the same way. Enermax, Fortron, and Antec are quality brands, made with good components(although Antec hasn't been doing as well lately). NEVER skimp on the PSU if you value your components. I had a generic PSU blow, and it took a $180 motherboard with it.

 

[Praxis1452]

Well it's more about quality. Get a good brand and it will be much better than some no name with 600+ watts. Most computer systems don't use thaat much power anyway. It simply depends on what load is being put on what rails.
