Basic guide for the right power supply

[topgear]

everything is normal and safe ... and congrats on the purchase of the new PSU ? and you paid how much for CX500v2 ?

 

[happy17292]

3k bought it from [E]

 

[saswat23]

An used one?

 

[happy17292]

Yes,its 1week old. Local sellers of my city dont sell branded psus . And it was selling @3.9k on flipkart

 

[topgear]

PSU prices on FK are always high .. locally ( kolkata ) this PSu costs around ~3.2-3.k and at 3.9k you can get a CX600v2.

Your PSU = cooler master extreme 600W ? Its not a good choice. Avoid CM PSUs.
Avoid Corsair VS series as well.

Budget for new PSU ?

Since you chose the VS550/650, I am assuming your budget is around 4-4.5k. Giving a few suggestions below based on that.
Seasonic SS-600BT Eco ~ 3.8k
Seasonic 520W S12II ~ 3.9k
Corsair cx600 ~ 4.1k

I'd bought it like 5 years ago, wasn't enough knowledgeable back then

Thanks, a few extra Corsair suggestions would be appreciated.



EDIT - Is this the one you suggested?

Same here. I had bought a CM extreme 500w some time ago.

Corsair CMPSU-600CXV2UK 600 Watts PSU - Corsair: Flipkart.com

Yes thats the one. FK a bit overpriced. Try other sites or the local market.
More options:
Corsair GS600 @ 4.6k
Corsair tx650v2 @ 5.5k
Seasonic 620w S12II @ 5k

 

[cyborg47]

Seasonic 620w S12II @ 5k

noob question...would I face any compatibility issues with this PSU and my PC's Motherboard?

No problems with the mobo.
Might wanna compare the dimension of the psu and your cabinet

I want to buy either HD7870 or GTX660 Ti. I have Corsair VX550 PSU. Would VX550 able to provide sufficient power?

I have AMD Phenom X6 1100T Proccy with 8 GB ram. Also I have two HDDs and 5 fans (One 200 and four 120 mm).

Thanks..

 

[topgear]

should work just fine but don't OC anything.

 

[Adhip007]

Thanks topgear . I have a plan to buy higher rated SMPS, but as of now no fund to buy it.

 

[topgear]

np mate take your time and buy one when you can afford so you can get one of the best psu available on the market.

My PC Config is as under:
Intel C2D E7500 processor, Asus P5KPL- AM/PS Mobo, 4GB DDR2 RAM, Seagate 500 GB HDD, XFX ATI Radeon HD 4350 1GB DDR2 Graphics card, LG 20" LCD Monitor, Foxin Cabinet with 500W Foxin SMPS, iBall Nirantar UPS.
I am planning to buy Cooler Master SMPS of 350 Watts and a APC 600VA /360 Watts UPS as my iBall Nirantar UPS is giving me problems (it can't handle the load of 500W Foxin SMPS). Should I buy them? The iBall UPS repeatedly switches on and off due to voltage fluctuations. Also my LG DVD writer isn't working in Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit with nero 7. Which brand of DVD writer should I opt for?

Thanks in Advance

 

[thetechfreak]

Don't buy a Cooler Master SMPS. Go for the Corsair CX430v2.
For DVD drive I would recommend the Asus 24x DVD writer which will cost around 1.1k.

 

[Allu Azad]

Can someone find me cx430v2 at low cost online ? Can't find it with local dealers

 

[topgear]

check on MD, primeabgb, theitdepot

 

[Allu Azad]

Only MD has it and it is listed at 2.9k .

Should I settle for VS450 from flipkart ?
