Have been looking at this for a while now but still not sure as I cannot find any reviews. Does anyone know what the base PSU for this is?
BeQuiet 600W Gold Rated PSU - Less than £50
- Thread starter Ace Modder
- Start date
FSP is the OEM.

Oh its a goddamned bargain then.
Will this be suitable for a 4.6ghz+ 2500k, one of AMDs soon to be released cards (or a 580 for comparison) and 16gb ram? I might have to take the offer up if it is
Easily enough. An OCZ 600w PSU powers the rig in my sig.

Anybody found any reviews for these units? Spec looks very good for the price.
Nope, tried all the usual places.

Personally, I'd stick with Corsair as they have a great name for reliability and legendary Customer Service (which I've never used... yet). I think the TX have a 5 year warranty, my HX has 7 years.
Warranties aside, this is a cracking deal for £65 - for £50 it's a giveaway. You won't find a decent 80+Gold PSU to touch it at that price.
(Try and find a few reviews first - make sure it has Solid Jap Caps, low ripple/noise etc - but I'd be surprised if a BeQuiet/FSP unit didn't.)
750W gives you more room for expansion/SLI etc, but if you're sure 600W is enough, Go fo Gold!

Correct.
It's based on the FSP Aurum Gold platform.

No point in sticking with Corsair, there's almost ALWAYS something better for the price.

Whoa whoa whoa this is an FSP Aurum Gold for half the price?!?!?!?
Bought. I was torn between this and the Aurum but if it the same damn thing then you'd have to be retarded not to buy this.
Also seeing as the main gripe most people have with the Aurum is the noisy fan and this has a quiet BeQuiet fan in.

Yeah it's the Aurum Gold platform, except the cables aren't sleeved and the caps are mainly Teapo/CapXon (The original Aurum uses a few Jap caps.)
Apart from that the platform is identical though the ripple suppression might be slightly worse due to the lesser quality caps (which are still good - just not as good as Rubycon/Nippon chemicon).

Yeah at that price you can't expect to get Jap caps but if you are getting 80+ Gold efficiency that is less of an issue.
