PSU Spec Ver 2.0 vs 2.2

[p23185]

I have purchased a Thermaltake Purepower 500W power supply, which states that it is a ver 2.0. Many other PSU models are stated as ver 2.2. Have I purchased something that is, or will quickly be, out of date? I questioned the sales guy at Frys, but they assured me I have a good up-to-date supply. I looked up the spec for ver 2.2 at http://www.formfactors.org/developer/specs/ATX12V_PSDG_2_2_public_br2.pdf , but cannot readily see what improved in 2.01, 2.1 and 2.2 that I would need to build an up-to-date PC. To anyone out there that is familiar with the PSU spec - have I purchased a PSU that will serve me for a few years, or is it already obsolete?

Please accept my sincere condolences.......


The 2.0 spec will work fine. Its just the model that isnt good tbh.
How juch did you pay for it out of curiosity? and did you keep the receipt?

$29.99 after rebates (+ tax). What are its negative points?

Blitzen has said in previous posts that in past years they have blown up taking parts with them.

I have one still here from about 4 years ago that has given nothing but brilliant service and im simply unable to find anything to say / prove that they are unreliable.
All the ones i've used have been fine, so I really wouldnt worry about it.

To be honest, all the major name PSU's are decent today. They have to be, the competition is too great.
