I asked for your opinion, ocz, fortron, tagan, enermax, thermaltake...........
I want to hear what you feel is a better company....
Then let me critique your choice...
Theres alot of good psu companies, alot of which are cheaper than what he's looking at and would be plenty fine....I personally like to get the best quality power for the cheapest cash....I would say fortron and tagan are my favorites...I wouldn't buy the PSU we have been talking about because it's overkill and the difference isn't really worth the extra cash..

Can You Not Read!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!
I Said Imo There Is No Best Psu Maker!!!!!!!!!

I've had really good experience with Fortron also. Btw, I think they're actually made by Zippy.

WOW LADIES, LADIES!!! simmer down its a fricken PSU!!!! all the ones u guys talk about are great... and no matter what subject u talk about in the world, there is NO "BEST" of it, ok? lets not get our panties in a bunch over this....

LOL WOW!

so which one do you like? Is english your second language?
does the sun rise in the east? is canada north of the U.S?

or do all of these questions not have an answer either?

 

[tweako_420]

Your an ass..
I give my opinion that PCC isnt the best and you ask to critique what I think is.
When I said that I see no PSU company as being the best.

And no english is not my second language.
Where did you get that idea?
From me not answering a stupid question.

 

[tytlyf]

chill out, it's the innna-net.
I'm messing with you, i didn't think it was that hard to tell.

So I'm sure you have an answer for this next question......

What is your favorite psu company? Regardless of best..

I'm happy with my OCZ Powerstream 520W

and kaxx i would recommend a better cooler, like a typhoon or xp-90/120.

 

[kaxx]

cool guys. Sorry about the delay, but I've been experiencing internet dilemma's lately for some reason..........................looks I missed out on the soap opera, I didn't really mean to start anything........................

I'll have to say that IMO OCZ is making the better PSU's Hands down, wouldn't trade my ModStream 520W for anything else (except maybe for the Powerstream)

The Zalman CPNS9500 is a good heat pipe cooler as well

 

[soloz2]

for 200+ the best psu you can get period is a PC power & Cooling. take a look at the 510 sli express

for less than 200 the best psu you can get period is the Seasonic S12-600

OCZ doesn't make either of those

 

[Renfeld]

I like my OCZ Powerstream 600 because it has adjustable rails, and is stable -what more can I say....

OK Guys, Thanks a lot for the info, very much appreciated, but I got a question.....I'm probably going out on a limb here, but has anyone ever heard of or tried running 2 (two) separate power supplies to, of course, different areas:: i.e. possibly one supply runs the hard drives & cpu etc., and the other runs all of the cooling & lighting etc??

of course, very common.. Check our FAQ section, there is a few guides how to use dual PSU's for booting.. I would recommend 2 ultra x-connects... but what's wrong with one?

Edit: here is that guide your looking for for 2 psu's

 

[HardwaterH4ck3r]

I would go with the Seasonic as well.....if i had the cheese to do so, i would have gotten it over my NUUO

 

[burnstudios]

any psu that has modular plugs on it is crap plain and simple, when you have that type of conection in more than two places its almost like your power cables would be over 2ft long because of the resistence that is built up in the connector, with a modular supply at the point of conection there is a 2 to 4% drop in amperage. modular = poo, when i build my new system it will have a pc power and cooling psu in it

Dude thats such a noob statement....you cant say that unless youve owned evry modular PSU....

 

[burnstudios]

if you knew anything about resistance you would know its not a noob statement. pc power and cooling doesnt make a modular psu that should tell you somthing.

read and learn

The pins that are used in the modular plugs have a very low capacity to pass current. You're losing power through those pins. It's electrical resistance between the male and the female part of the pin, to the extent that the voltage drop in just the pins is equivalent to about two feet of wire. The effect is that modular power supplies, everything else being equal, are capable of about 10% less power than power supplies without modular plugs. And that's under ideal conditions. In real life it gets worse because the pins loosen, corrode, and burn. Over time the resistance builds up. A year down the road, a guy could be running his system and all of a sudden it stops working reliably, and he has no way of knowing that the reason is because the pin inside that modular plug has become corroded or burned. This technique has been out for about six months, but people are going to find that the reliability is a massive failure point. Also, especially given the way people pull their harnesses around and tie them down, it creates a lot of stress on those pins. So instead of the pins having full 100% contact surface to surface, in most cases those pins are only touching maybe 10% or 30% of their surface area. What's rated for 5A going through those pins, in reality if the pins aren't making good contact, your rating's down to maybe 3A, and with that much constriction, those pins just heat up, and it gets worse. For real pros in the industry, no way would they specify that kind of arrangement. This is a consumer-oriented gimmick.
