Basic guide for the right power supply

[ssb1551]

oh yeah Gigabyte 400W!DAMN!I always forget that PSU!!

 

[preetamsikdar]

What about the Gigabyte 400 W ? is it good enough ?

And if anyone over here is from Kolkata...can you please tell me whether FSP 400 W is available in Kolkata or not ? If yes...which shop ?

One more thing guys...

Do you have any idea how much a XFX HD5670 512MB DDR5 would cost in Kolkata ?

 

[skeletor]

Firstly, don't go for XFX. It's service is handled by Rashi and since you are in Kolkata, Rashi is pretty famous there for the wrong reasons.

Gigabyte 460w @ 2k or FSP Saga II 400w @ 1.9k
MSI/Sapphire HD 5670 512MB GDDR5 @ 4.7k

And I'll surely not suggest you to compromise on the PSU. Don't go for Cooler Master Extreme series as it is overrated and absolutely crap. I'll suggest you to make an online purchase from reliable stores.

 

[preetamsikdar]

Thanks dude...

but it would be great if you can name the shop where I can find the above said products in Kolkata....

I doubt whether I will get FSP PSU in Kolkata

Help plz guys..

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

^order online

 

[skeletor]

^^^ try at MD Computers, Chandni Chowk. That's the only shop I've heard of in Kolkata.

Kolkata guys might tell you whether it is good or not.

 

[preetamsikdar]

Thanks guys...

but I don't wanna buy online...

Any kolkata guy out here who can tell me a shop to find these products ?

Also..one silly question...plz don't mind..

I have a normal I-Ball cabinet...so will the Gigabyte 460W or the FSP Saga II 400 W PSu fit into that cabinet ?

 

[ssb1551]

Yups the PSU will fit in the cabinet.
I think Cilus is from Kolkatta.You can PM & ask him about the shops.

 

[preetamsikdar]

Thanks dude...

I've already sent him a message...lets c if he replies or not...

 

[ssb1551]

He sure will.He is a nice guy.

 

[preetamsikdar]

I called a few shops just now....

And neither of them had Gigabyte or FSP PSU...

Nor did they have 512MB HD5670...everyone has the 1 GB card...

They told me they have a Zebronics PSU costing around 1950...I don't have any clue about it...now what should I do ? (Don't wanna buy online)..

help..help..help

:C_answering:

While you were at it you should have had got yourself an SMPS as well!Anyways before you upgrade or go for a new GPU please change your PSU to a good one.

Since I was running late I could go to only four or five shops at Nehru Place but noone seemed to have heard about FSP or Gigabyte SMPS. Even mention of NZXT Gamma cabinet evinced mocking gestures.

^order online

Pl. suggest the name of few bonafide sites.

Sorry buddy looks like you gotta buy online!!If you can increase your budget for PSU to 2.7k then look for Corsair CX400W at some of the local retailers!As for GPU if you don't wanna buy online then you gotta go with 1GB version but I would suggest you to buy online!

 

[preetamsikdar]

Hmm..it seems dat way only...

but can you throw some light on the warranty rules if I buy online ?

If something happens to my hardware..do I need to ship the defective hardware again to their address to get it repaired or I can get it serviced locally from a authorized service center ???

I am getting Sapphire HD5670 1 GB DDR5 for 5.4k..shud I go for it ? is Sapphire a good brand ?

 

[ssb1551]

Sapphire is a good brand.If you are getting the 1GB locally then go for it 'cause frankly I don't know anything about warranty issues of products bought online.
The reason why I was asking you to get the 512MB variant is 'cause there is hardly any performance difference between the 2.So its better to save 1k.But anyways since you are getting 1GB locally & you are skeptical about the online warranty, go for it.

Every other brand they suggest is to be avoided. Zebronics PSU are bad...very bad.

A few that I know :

add frontech, mercury, iball, vip and any other psu that comes for 500rupees to that list.
