i can confirm.. my CX430V2 runs for 15-16hrs normally/gaming. did video encoding [full load on CPU] for 12hrs straight. no problem so far. i guess those guys were just unlucky.

hey guys will the corsair cx430 v2 430 w be enough for this setup?---intel i5 3470,msi zhzza-g41 mobo, and a 7870?
if not suggest a psu within 3 k please??

 

[Myth]

It will work fine if you dont oc the 7870.
Take a 500w psu to be safe.

 

[amruth kiran]

500w? okay. thanks. which one would you suggest?

 

[saswat23]

Dont know what to do with this

Its also a SLi certified PSU

 

[Nerevarine]

can anyone please review Gigabyte PoweRock 550w .. it looks really good for it's price.. it is 80+ certified as well

 

[anirbandd]

didnt find any on google??

 

[Nerevarine]

nope, but there are sellers on ebay at a very competitive price tag..
I did research a bit and i found out the oem of the gigabyte powerock series is CWT which is the oem for corsair as well... but im still not convinced :/

 

[saswat23]

What's its price?

Gigabyte PoweRock Power Supply, 80Plus Certified, True 550W 550 Watt SMPS i5 i7 | eBay

its a 2.3k at 550 watts.. if it proves to be really good, it could give corsair CX500 a real tough competition

Its not just the corsair product performance, but also the after sales service which beats the competition.

 

[Nerevarine]

are you saying Gigabyte's after sales service sucks ? exclude the fact whether or not there is service center near your location..Recently all i see people are always suggesting corsair.. i just want to verify whether this would really give it a competition or not

 

[Myth]

No, I am saying that corsair is like a benchmark of sorts in after sales service.

Just a sample of gigabyte rma headache *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/service-rma-watch/161290-gigabyte-motherboard-rma-prepare-humiliated.html

 

[Nerevarine]

hmm you prolly are right tho

I odn't know whether Gigabyte officially sells PSUs in India or not. Confirm it before buying this unit.
Otherwise you would have to face big hassle if you ever have to RMA the unit.
