Which PSU to get ?

[ToneDiary]

Both of these feature Advanced Cable Management system which caught my attention.
But which PSU is better on other cases ? Also are there any PSU's which features cable management system?

Welcome to AT!

Definitely get the Antec. No questions asked.


Why? Look who makes those X-Connect PSUs

http://www.powmax.com (click on power.)

I affectionately like to refer to Powmax as the PSU Devil.

Do not buy the X-connect. It may look high quality on the outside, but I'm willing to bet that there's nothing more than a hamster on a wheel inside it. A hamster that will blow up and take your system with it.

Modular cables are definitely a nice addition and something I think we will see a lot more of in future PSUs. Ultra is part of TigerDirect and from what I can tell, all they sell are gussied-up rebadged products of questionable quality.

I would go with the Antec simply because they are an established company and have a reputation for building quality products.

I have a neopower, and its working out really well in my system, I have a GF6800Ultra and the old p4 3.06ghz cpu which was a power hog, that runs pretty damn hot. It can handle my setup, so its pretty good.

Oh yeah, if anyone from Antec reads this: FOR $120 SLEEVE THE BLOODY CABLES!

my friend just got the x-connect and it is a really good psu, the voltages are dead on. It is better than his antec 480

34amps on the 12v line is pretty darn good 😉

I got an UltraConnect X, runs pretty well and the braided round cables definitely make my case look clean inside. I actually went from a truepower 550w to this, and i'm very satisfied.
