PSU recommendation? 400-500w

Papa Lazarou · 27 Aug 2006 at 20:16

Hi I'm after a replacement PSU. Going to stick my current X-Pro PSU into my second computer to replace a crappy and noisy Qtec :rolleyes:

I'm running a basic Conroe system (no SLi, just 1 hard drive etc) so don't need anything with massive power. I would like a good cable management solution (ideally modular cables). I also want it to be quiet.

I had considered:

OCZ Modstream 450w
Antec NEOHE 430w
FSP Bluestream 400w or 500w?
Seasonic S12 430w

Any recommendations?

Cheers

Antec (its a biased view) as all my psus have been antec and they have never let me down (fingers crossed lol)

also seasonic are very decent indeed..

Seasonic, Antec, Enermax. All quality kit. Seasonics are v quiet and have a very good name if that helps.

How about a Tagan?

I'm very happy with my Tagan 480Watt. I would recommend Tagan, prices are good and they're reliable

Cheers. I had thought about the Tagan's. Do they do an ATX 2.01 supply? (or is there no advantage for going for one of these, my Conroe has a 24 pin input though). And do any of them have removable cables?

The Tagan Easycon are modular. I have the 530w version powering my system, it's excellent, I highly recommend them. There is a 430w version too.

I have the Tagan 430W Easycon. Really good.

Mind you, I also have an X-Pro 460W and that's brilliant, IMO.
