Hello all,
I'm in the market for a few new PSU's since I had a bunch of ANTEC PSU's go belly up on me.
Been spending some time reading a few reviews and have narrowed my choice down to these units. .
In order of costs (cheaper to more expensive)
OCZ ModStream 520w
Tagan Easycon 530w
Hiper Type R 580w
Enermax Liberty 500w
Tagan Easycon 580w
Seasonic M12 500w
I've already got a Tagan Easycon 530w which I am testing now, first impressions awesome but I'm not sure how they stand the test of time?
System #1: P4 *Northwood* 2.6GHz - 1GB (2x512) P3200 - Radeon 9200 - 1x HDD - 1x Optical - Floppy - 3x Case fans.
System #2: P4 *Northwood* 3.4GHz - 1GB (2x512) P3200 - Radeon 9800 Pro -4x HDD (2x36Gb Raptors, 2xIDE) - 1x Optical - Floppy - 3x Case fans.
System #3: Opteron 170 (@2.6GHz) - 2GB (2x1GB) PC3200 - Radeon X850XT - PCI DVB-T card - 4xHDD - 1xOptical - Floppy - 3x Case fans
System #4: Opteron 170 (@2.6GHz) - 2GB (2x1GB) PC3200 - Radeon X1900XT - 2xHDD - 1xOptical - Floppy - 3x Case fans
The P4 systems need a fair bit of voltage right? Do you think any of the above PSU's are too weak for any of these systems?
