slyfox2151 · Mar 16, 2010, 02:14 PM

whats your budget on the psu?

also what pc specs are you going to connect it to?

Munki · Mar 16, 2010, 02:14 PM

What are you going to be powering with it?

Zedicus · Mar 16, 2010, 02:18 PM

raidmax aint bad, ive used them a time or 2, would put them square in the midrange of PSU's.

nafets · Mar 16, 2010, 02:19 PM

Raidmax is garbage, plain and simple.

I'm sure the allure of something that cheap is tough to fight, but I recommend you save your hard earned money for a better brand PSU.

Most anything from Seasonic, Corsair, Enermax, Antec, Silverstone, and even the newer BFG, OCZ, and XFX units.

Don't even touch that psu

See they've combined the 3.3 and 5 rails with the 12v rails to come up with the rating.

That means the PSU is over rated and is probably only 350 w or something horrible.

my budget for the psu is 60 bucks and it's going to be connected with a Biostar TA790GX A3 motherboard

I thought it and tried not to say it. So cheers to you for reading my mind (and almost all others)

If you need a smaller psu like a 500W with some punch then i recommend a enermax liberty 500AWT. its modular and has the power to run a higher end machine.

Zedicus · Mar 16, 2010, 02:40 PM

ive had good luck with antec too. general consensus antec is preferred. the earthwatts is a good line. i have seen a earthwatts come DOA but im sure its a very rare occurrence.
