Any good?

Hi guys, just need a quick yes or no if possible..

Are Fractal Design PSU's any good?

I understand it may not be as simple that but any help would be appreciated...

Which one in particular? Most are mediocre units but there are some decent ones such as the Newton R3 and the Edison M. I would rather go with the likes of EVGA though.

Yeah I did go for EVGA, I was asking for a friend who has a Fractal Design 650w Integra M in his PC and was struggling to run the R9 280x I had given him... I just thought it may have been his psu that was the problem...

That's a ATNG (never heard of them) built unit with 648w on the 12v rail so it should be more than enough. It's just another mid-range, nothing special psu and uses cheap chinese Teapo caps. Has he got the latest bios on his motherboard, especially if it's a Gigabyte?

He went and bought a decent psu, everything works fine now (it was an Asus GPU btw)...

Thanks anyway guys...
