I've been re-arranging my systems for the last few days, swapping components about between cases and stuff.
In one set up I'm using an Nvidia FX5200 Ultra video card. This system has a Generic 300W PSU.
I loaded latest V50.53 Detonator drivers and to my surprise, on boot, I was informed my PSU didn't have enough power for the FX5200 Ultra and so it would be 'throttled back' to a setting compliant with the current supplied by the PSU I'm using.
So, I just ordered a Q-Tec 550W PSU from Kustom PC's.
Question is, this thing only cost £30.00, which is far far cheaper than, say, an Enermax or Antec Truepower. Are any any of you using this brand of PSU? Is it any good? Does it deliver the current?
I ask, as being sceptical, this thing seems too good to be true. 550W with two fans for thirty quid?
Interested to hear your experiences & POV. I figure even if this PSU doesn't truly deliver 550W, it should be good to power this Nvidia card.
