Which power supply to get?

mattyj1085 · 9 Aug 2006 at 10:12

I am wanting to upgrade my power supply and I can't decide which to get i have 2 in mind at the minute but any recommendations are welcome

I was thinking of getting either the Hiper Typre R 580 Watt or the OCZ 520 Watt Mod Stream PSU both around £60 which is what I want to spend

I'm Currently only running a overclocked 3200 A64 system with X800 graphics :mad:

but want it to be capable of powering my future overclocked conroe system and X1900 graphics

Any views on which I should get for around £60

Thanks

Anything by OCZ,enermax,tagan fsp or antec,personally i would avoid the hiper,only because i had problems with mine after a few months of use,as have lots of other people.However,some people are having no problems at all.

I would go for the OCZ myself
