help DDD choose a new PSU
my psu passed away again.
So i have decided its time to get a good PSU. My priorities are: cheapest possible (stay below 100usd) atleast 600W, must last a couple of years. I have shortlisted the corsair GS600 you can refer to www.primeabgb.com for available products. Thanks

How many Rs would that be, if we're looking at that site? 4000ish?
Anyway, it would seem that PSU is the best for the price there.

I am second that, the Corsair GS600 is the best you can get with that budget in that site, good manufacturer/model, powerful +12V rail 48A, MBTF 100.000 hours, all safety features, etc
![]() EDIT: I saw the Coolermaster eXtreme Power Plus 650W for 4200, seems good but I think the Corsair one is better, specially the 12V rail

Avoid that. But since it's d.d.d., GET THAT PSU!

If you can live with 500W (and your system specs say you should be able to :P) you could get the FSP Saga II 500W. The only review I've seen is a roundup on Tomshardware though.. But the cheap FSP PSU I have in my system seems to perform decently.

Find the max power usage of the system and double it
Any thing Seasonic or rebranded from seasonic. Maybe check with the OP see if this is still up to date. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=39758 Maybe worth checking in to unless OCZ has cheaped out with them. PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II PPCMK2S650 650... |

Shame about the limited number of PSUs available though. You can buy an Antec TruePower New 750W for roughly the same price over here, or an FSP 85+ Everest 700W for even cheaper (it's the 80PLUS Bronze, they're better than the previous-gen 80PLUS only Everest).

well, me no phillipino, so
i have to be satisfied with this. Also the value of the dollar is fluctuating. A LOT. So i can expect an increase of price by 10- 15 percent.

derek: DDD is a troll magnet. trust me, if i'd left this thread alone it would have gone straight to indian hell.
and no, coolermaster PSU's are not that great. they're available everywhere, but that doesnt mean they're good. their best units are still mostly average multi rail PSU's with low amperage per rail, with only a few exceptions - and their cheap stuff (in DDD's price range) is equivalent to the free PSU that comes with a case (crap.) my vote goes for that corsair G600 as well, it may be their budget range but shit, 48A on a single 12A rail is better than most PSU's out there. that'd be rated as 750/800W if it was any other brand.

If you are referring to stability issues when OC'ing, then I am in the same boat. I I can't overclock mine CPU even a BIT without getting a damn BSOD (unrecoverable hardware error thing) at boot, but I didn't tried another PSU yet ![]() That's bad luck to get a chip unable to OC
