Well my power supply up and died yesterday, we created a watery grave for her in the back ally, but now i have no clue what to replace her with, i had a Corsair CMPSU-400CXUK 400W Power Supply, but i think im looking for something a little more fancy this time, any good suggestions please, im all ears!
Really depends on your needs and budget. You might want to take a look at this first for some ideas: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/buyers-guide/2011/03/10/pc-hardware-buyer-s-guide-march-2011/1 The Antec TP650 seems to be the PSU of choice for midrange systems, but if you've been running on 400W, it's clearly not necessary. The earthwatts is excellent value at the moment. Check out Scan.co.uk Today Only sales frequently for some good deals. If you want something more fancy for the same power bracket then you could look at what Enermax has to offer. Expensive, but very nice PSUs. The Modu87 500W is a particularly nice one, with excellent efficiency. It comes at a cost though: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/500w...ld-93-eff-sli-crossfire-139mm-fan-dxxi-ready-! I have experience with the OCZ ModXStream 500W which received an award from CPC a while back. It may not have the efficiency or features of some others, but it often comes in at less than £50 which is a bargain for a quiet, rock solid PSU. I hope this helps. Let us know what sort of kit you're planning on powering.
maybe go modular? whats your budget? I'd thoroughly recommend this http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w...bronze-85-eff-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-135mm-fan just purchased one for my server i'm building or if your prepared to spend a bit more http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w...bronze-85-eff-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-120mm-fan or http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w...d-90-eff-sli-crossfire-20db-eps-12v-140mm-fan providing your budget allows I would get a modular power supply if not then any of these are good http://www.scan.co.uk/products/500w...nze-82plus-eff-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-80mm-fan http://www.scan.co.uk/products/520w...nze-135mm-quiet-fan-atx12v-23-eps12v-v291-psu http://www.scan.co.uk/products/380w...lus-bronze-82-eff-eps-12v-80mm-fan-atx12v-v23 also a few questions to the op, how long have you had that power supply, what did you think of it, and was it particularly loud?
