Great new PSU with a wicked price!

A bit more info will help here... Can you find out if it's really dual rails? Most PSUs advertise it as a feature, but it's desirable not to have dual rails.. and most dual rail PSUs are actually single rail.

Also the warranty PowerSwap thing is a good thing, however it'll depend on where it needs to be returned to.

If it's a single rail with 500W available to 12V and it's a UK returns destination then this will do for virtually any build.

Why? Modern multi-rail units are "better", (you don't run into load balancing issues anymore as it's done automatically) as the +12v trace are split , allowing much more sensible OCP set points. Apart from that, they're 99.9% identical in terms of design.

Single rail *was* better waaaay back in like ~2005, when multi rails weren't designed properly.
 
You are all acting like a bunch of kids being forced to buy something.

It's a £30 power supply, it's not going to power your tri sli 680's

I have one of these in my media pc, which has a Q6600 @ 3.6ghz, 3TB harddrives, Bluray, etc and a ATI 7870.

The kids are on it every day playing games like Dirt showdown Battlefield 3 etc and it runs said hardware perfectly without a problem.

The build quality is good, the 4-8 ping cpu lead could be a bit longer and it has a nice weight to it, for £30 boys it's a budget psu and will run some half decent hardware.


I would like to add, my mate borrowed this psu while his was broke and it powered his sandybridge 2700k @ 5ghz and a GTX 470 rig for a few weeks while his psu was being RMA'd
