To be able to view the below tables correctly, you must have the "View Forums Full Width" option enabled within your Preferences. It will be mostly functional without doing this, but a portion of the "Review" column will be chopped off which is not ideal!

How do I do this?

1. Hover over your username in the top right of the screen, a pop-up menu will appear. Click "Preferences".

2. Under the "Forums" section of your Preferences, you will see an option called "View Forums Full Width". Tick it and click Save! You're done, everything should look as intended.

What we have here is an extensive, but not exhaustive, list of quality, reliable power supplies. It's a constantly updating resource that will be amended as new relevant products reach the market or current ones end their production cycles.

The list is mostly comprised of high availability units offered by global brands, if your current power supply isn't among those listed you shouldn't automatically assume it's an inferior, non-recommendable product, there are many other good-to-excellent PSUs sold under a variety of local or regional brands, if you're uncertain about the quality and/or reliability of your PSU just ask, either here or by creating a dedicated thread.

I assume, since you're reading this, that you're aware of the importance of buying and using a quality power supply, so without being a bore I'll just say this: it will allow your hardware to function properly, it will not negatively impact its lifespan and it provides critical electrical protections.

You can access the manufacturer's product page of each and every unit listed below by clicking directly on it, green units are yet to be released and orange units are new and may not be readily available, links to relevant reviews are also included. Many of the power supplies listed below share the same internals, so for units that lack competent reviews but have mirror products in the list that do have such reviews you'll be forwarded to the respective mirror product's review, these reviews are marked with an asterix*.

For a proper, comprehensive review database I suggest you visit RealHardTechX, an extensive, easy to navigate and up to date resource. Try to stick to reputable, competent reviewers when doing such research, I'd recommend JonnyGURU, TechPowerUp, Hardware Secrets, HardOCP, PC Perspective, KitGuru and for a touch of exotism IT OCP and Playwares.

One last thing, before buying anything, do your homework, size your PSU properly and keep an eye on value as well.

Thermaltake Toughpower 750W:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153038

Currently on rebate for $144 from $175 - maybe point that out.

Jonnyguru said it was great:

In the past, Thermaltake has gotten a lot of grief. They had been known to sell power supplies that were "behind the times" in terms of the ATX standards, but dressed up in a lot of glorious bling giving the power supplies an appeal to the naive. Certainly the best way to shake that old stigma is to release a product that is a no holds barred kick butt power supply. The Toughpower 750W fits that bill with plenty of power, good efficiency, active power factor correction, and solid construction.

This PSU gets a well deserved "jonnyGURU Recommended"
I'm hoping to get one soon


Also, my Tagan 480W is just $91 here:

http://www.rackmountnet.com/index.php?products_id=346

And I've found it excellent - it truly is silent, I really can't hear it, and I have a silent PC
Even though its got 2 x 80mm fans
Great for a backup/older rig

Added the TT ToughPower.


Will look into the Tagan.


Thanks !

I think some of the FSP/OCZ models should be up there. I know that johnny writes them off for having too much "ripple" around the 12v line, but I have yet to have hear of a problem with a FSP or OCZ PSU.

I know, I read that review, and just thought that compared to all these other models, they shouldn't be on the list. At least until the ripple issue is resolved.

I wouldn't recommend a PSU in the condition to anyone.

Same thing goes for the Antec TruePower line. I can tell you from first hand experience that I've had one die on me, and the review on JonnyGuru tells a similar story. Hence, I didn't include them.

They could be great PSU's, but I need to see them in action. As I mentioned, there are other great PSU's out there that aren't included in the list.

As I don't review them personally, I'm just recommending what is proven to be 100% reliable. Specifically the reviews from JonnyGuru.
Don't feel bad if your PSU isn't included.

Basing your info solely on one source can have it's flauts too. If you just want to repost what Johnny's site says, then fine, post a link to it. I think it would be better to have the list open to OCN member recommendion so it can grow and be more valuable than the one list from Johnny.

I know, I'm still working on that section.
Thanks !

@ Mootsfox: Jonny didn't just review one GameXstream, and one FSP... He reviewed many, and they ALL had the same ripple issue.

If I post up what EVERY member recommends, the list will be full of Hipers, Aspires, CoolerMasters, you name it. There are still many PSU's I have yet to add, including some Ultra ones, and Thermaltakes.
