http://cgi.ebay.ie/New-OKIA-PC-Power...QQcmdZViewItem

i bought one last week in a hurry cos my jeantech blow up whilst Ocing
read a few review about it afterward"doh"
but was just wondering what you peeps opinion of it was?

I've never heard of that company so I wouldn't get it. Check google or yahoo for reviews on it before you put down your money.

That's about $50.00 CAD. With that amount of money you can buy proven Sunbeam Nuuo for a little more money.

Depends on your rig. The following estimates are based on good quality, brand name PSUs (and not no-name brands like the one posted here)

- For a rig like yours, I'd say something like 22A would do fine
- for a mid range rig with a X800/X850 or so, I'd recomment 25A-28A
- High-end , singe card gaming rig: 30A at least
- Crossfire/SLI: 35A
- High-End Crossfire/SLI: more than 35A, preferably 40A.

Then, all sorts of other issues come in play: how much do you overclock, what other stuff you hang on that PSU (#HDD, water cooling, etc). My X1900's draw up to 12A each at full load and stock speeds. When I overclock them, a couple more Amps are drawn by each card. Thus, I need an easy 25A for my Crossfire only! Add more than 12A for the overclocked opty, and you see where things go!

Id say a minimum of like 30a or so. i mean i have 4 12v rails @ 15a each for 60a total. Its good for a small non overclocking system

Never heard of that brand, but if you're not going to OC your system then it's better than nothing

Trust me... you don't have 60A. You cannot add those rails up like you did. First, the total wattage of your PSU is 600W, which equals 50A if it were all 12V. Thus, you definately cannot have more than 50A. Then, there is power needed for the other rails (3.3V, 5V, etc.) The specs are not available on the FSP website right now, so I cannot provide you the actual total max load of your (or mine) PSU. But let's assume a total load of 10A each on the 3.3V and 5V rails (and nothing else for simplicity). Then your total load on the 12V rails will be 600w - (10 x 3.3) - (10 x 5) = 517W, or 43A. Definately more than enough, but no 60A.
