QTEC 550W PFC PSU not bad as well.

Pushing it a little.

My vote is a 465 Enermax.

You get what you pay for.

Ermmm, no, really it is bad.

Dont even THINK about a QTEC PSU.

Use the search feature if you like, it'll throw up a few results as to why.

You are joking right?

Enermax, thermaltake, antec are supposed to be good, Im running a Aerocool atm, looks very nice, seems to perform well, only downside is it seems to have a very low 12v line, rated at 28A, performs well though

**[GSV]Trig** · 31-10-2003, 05:57 PM

Enermax....

As for the suggestions of QTec, you remember that dented gold box with wires hangin out of it at the last LAN dont you Fraggie....

I have an Antec in my Sonata case and it is excellent. Very very quiet which is my main requirement from a PSU (as long as everything turns on and runs!).

I am looking at a quiet PSU from Enhance as my next purchase (£21 from tekheds.co.uk) and they seem pretty cheap, quiet and good quality.

**Byatt** · 31-10-2003, 06:57 PM

Summary of the usual answer to this question: - Thermaltake and Hiper seem to be good bang for buck, but if you've got the cash, play safe and go for Enermax/Antec...

I say "play safe" because I've had trouble with hiper units, other posters may ass that hiper/thermaltake are just as safe as antec/enermax (may well be the case)

**fraggie** · 31-10-2003, 06:59 PM

yes, trig, i got one remember, its sheeeeee hite

will go fer the enermax i think

**bouncin** · 31-10-2003, 08:27 PM

Good choice i just got my enermax 550 watt for my vapochill and it looks an awesome psu shame it was d.o.a lol but its got the best 12v line ive seen at 36a. also the globalwin aren,t bad psu,s thats what im using at the minute and it surprised me when i 1st got it

**steve threlfall** · 31-10-2003, 09:05 PM

If cash is a bit tight then hiper are good as well

If you can afford it though then definately go down the enermax route
