Corsair VX 450 Or TaganTG600-U37

[The Sorcerer]

vx450 is not exactly 450 watter. 80+ certified psu give way more than the label. vx450 gives up 600-650w on 80% load. Here's the thing- its an active pfc. You have to run current machines on active pfc models. Efficiency is important here, which many people dont seem to get the exact picture. efficiency adds to cooling and therefore lesser noise. active pfc corrects any voltage ripple. There are certain conflicts non sine wave UPS or something like that- I dont know about UPS.
As for TG600-U37. Sorry to burst people's bubble but it is NOT a 80+ certified psu. The psu stays 80% efficient only on 450w but anything about that falls to 70% efficiency. Some people are mixinf u37's efficiency with TG600-U35. Therefore stress is more. The labelling done on tagan is peak load. The labelling done on corsair are conservative load.
I allready explained about cm extreme many times in the past, so you will have to make a search on it.

It's ur pick. But I wud say Tagan 600W especially when you can get it for Rs. 4,200, compared to VX450W, whose price too ranges from Rs. 3,900-Rs. 4,100.

tagan is the brand and TaganTG600-U37 is a product, really corsair VX450 would be better in all sense, @bhaskar, you should have really taken a good PSU on the first hand, running so many HDD on a bad PSU is too bad. If price is your worry then take CM 500W, zebroincs cainet are alright, until and unless you are getting shocks or any electricity leakage from the cabinet no need to change I would say.

 

[acewin]

I would have said Tagan if you would be considering modular PSUs, they are the best offering of Tagan.
Also you guys are forgetting corsair PSU has 5 year warranty unlike Tagan which has 1 year

Thanks a lot acewin and Sorcerer and everyone who helped.
For time being i grabbed a good condition power supply of cooler master 500 w from a seller here and i grabbed it from his house after checking the same. I took it for the offered price of 1400. I would probably take a corsair 650TX when my friends come from US. Its selling for like 80$ after a coupon and u can get it for 60$ after mail in rebate in US.
The CM 500 watts for 6 months buffer till i get a new one and for 1400 rs with 1.5 years warranty is great as gold.

^^ Well only 1 distributor gives away corsair psu- tirupathi. Unless its someone who has done parallel import (illegal import), the prices wont be much different. Gone are the days when people give challan and buyers can you discounts when you use that dialogue. If dealers decrease price for you, it means that he has imported (just like cellphones are imported via grey market) illegally without national distri/importer's sticker on it. However grey market dealers are well aware of prices and supply-deman curve, so they wont give you much demand because they know the demand of the product.

 

[dOm1naTOr]

and grey market ones ll have warranty issues if i dun have international warranty

 

[popularbhaskar]

huntu,
see if u can catch this up on ebay... you can get coupons from retailmenot(google ebay india coupons") for 15%/10% discount. Also contact seller to reduce the price..

The sick part is: its selling for 40$ now in US on new egg. (69$- 30$ mail in rebate). God knows when the corsair will be cheaper than gold in India.

Btw:
i bought myself a 1TB caviar black for a effective price of 6k wherein outside its 7.5 k. A lot of savings buddy . See the feedbacks of previous sale before buying if you are...
All the best.

dOm1naTOr :
Corsair has international warranty and you wont have any issues with that. I spoke to corsair a month back to confirm the same.All corsair products including ram has international warranty.
I am going to buy a 650/750 tx for half price. The problem is that those are as heavy as a old lady and no one wants to lift those back to india.
You can give a call to corsair and check as well. (ofcourse no point checking with local reseller for US products as u know the reason already)

I needed to bump this correct a point so that no lurker or a member will be in some of a misconception

Corsair products do not have International warranty. The corsair bought from proper sellers will be the only one which will be honoured- provided a proper bill is provided at the time of availing warranty.

which I think would mean that we have got it shipped and not trafficed to India by the store, is this is what you mean Sorcerer
