Counsel for an SMPS

[Ch@0s]

Not sure which one is what cos I've never used the PSU. There'll only be a single 24pin connector. Generally the 4pin ATX/8pin EPS supplies power to CPU and the 24pin supplies to the peripherals. Both these connectors are on different rails on all dual rail or higher psus.

Well


In fact I use a Powersafe 600w that cost me 5000 bucks. but then my gfx card wanted one. It came with all that you could ask for.

Sleeved cables,1x24 pin connector, 12v@ 22A ( Not much tolerance though I checked out), 8x12v connectors, 2x4pin mobo connectors, 2xSata connectors, 1x6 pin PCI-E connector......

The thing is tad heavy, comes with nickel plated xteriors(like mirror), 2 80 mmled fans(1 back, below).

Now the other option is the 500W SMPS from Powersafe that might fetch for 2600 bucks(Not sure though), but that comes for 12v @ 18 A ( I'd checked out).

See ya

Antec SP500 which costs 5-5.5k or so gives 25A on +12va line.

Frankly speakin,

About 5'c; deathvirus_me said its kinda more cooler. I dunno how. But that thing sucks cool air frm outside n blows onto the gpu sink.

Hmm.. OK since it'll light up ur cabinet.

Here's a list of SMPSes I enquired.

Vantec ion2 460W - Rs.4,200
Antec TP II 480W - Rs.5,100
Antec NeoHE 500 - Rs.6,250

The NeoHE is a bit dearer but I will consider it if my old card can sell for more. With the neo out of the picture, which of the other two is the better?
