Well after having mucho problemos with my PSU and my O/C (Found Here) I decided enough was enough.
Nuclear suggested this one as the best PSU in the market. I spoke with the company today and they were telling me they stock the Alienware computers with them, which would explain why they are so expensive, they actually use QUALITY parts. I haven't seen any other PSU that can compare to their amps and temps.

Grand Total for the PSU $238.20 (STupid CA Sales tax. )

Thanks for the recommendation Nuc!

Here is the PSU incase none of you seen it... http://www.pcpowerandcooling.com/about/index_whatnew510.htm

wow...i wouldn't ever spend more that $100 on a PSU...that just doesn't seem right. i would have bought a 3.2c instead of a new PSU lol

nuc recremended me the 530w fortron..only 75 bucks...seems u could have gotten a little somthing if u didnt do that...o well

where did $238.20 come from then? if you said it was only $75 in your last post

Yea he told me about the fortron, and tagan as well.
I just wanted the extra umphhhhh
Plus its got a 5yr warranty, I can afford it obviously, and I plan on doing some Vapo/Mach II in the near future.


Agallion was reffering to Fortron PSU's, not this one (PC Power and Cooling 510W Deluxe)

I read a review for that power supply in a magazine and it said it was the best on the market. I wouldn't spend that much on it though I'd rather spend that money on a new graphics card or something.

wow, and i thought my enermax 550w was expensive @ $149. why would you spend that much on that PSU. is it really that special?

Well I am soon going to have 4 SCSI drives (vs the two I have right now)
Along with my 5 Tornado's, my current 600W PSU was not cutting it (and it has a 28A for the 12v)
I don't want anymore issues to arise with my rails, so I bought the best one in the market. Nothing beats a 5yr warranty.
Plus I plan on doing some vapo/mach II cooling later on.

Wowwa, nice psu dude!

yea best one on the market wish i could get one i only got 19 amps on 12v , i may get one of the new ocz ones(470 watt 30A on 12V woot)

im looking at the specs and it doesnt look that impressive. the only thing you really have up on the enermax is the +5v, you have 40A instead of 38. other than that im not really seeing what the extra $100 is getting you.

Nuclear said that it operates on a 1% variance between load and idle.

Looks nice. No more problems, no more wondering. Sometimes you can buy peace of mind.

Just looking at the specs, you may think that. But...

- This PSU produces a peak power of 650W, they only rate them at 510W becuase that's what they deliver 24/7 at 40C case temps. Most other PSU manufacturers list the specs and wattages at 20C.

- The 1% tolerance rating is very important when you are really pushing a high fsb. With this PSU, you will not even notice a difference in voltage drops between idle and load. It handles voltage so well, you cannot hear when the system drops into full load...unlike most PSUs

- You won't have to mod this PSU to run high voltages. All other PSUs require you to mod the 3v line when running over 3.3v, and sometimes over 3.2v.

This PSU is not for everyone, I recommended it to Ayokona simply becuase I knew his future plans...and he is gonna need something big and powerful to fullfill his dreams. I would not have recommended it if he was just gonna OC the system a little and play a few games every now and then.

I guess with the 5 tornados he's gonna need it. Let us know how it does for you. Ive got an allied 500 watt psu and it could use an upgrade and definately was leaning towards the enermax line.

mind boggling prices on that looks pretty sweet though, I just couldnt see myself spending that much on a psu.... but if you have the $$ for that psu, the other parts of your system must kick some major .!

Well I would buy it if I were planning to do what you are, the PSU is something that you do not skimp on, thats a major factor and componet of a system, when I built my first machine I bought the biggest thing Frys had was the 550 Antec but its only 24 amps. If I would have known then what I know now I would have went for more amps, but it was my first system and I have learned a lot here since then. Wattage is important but amps are really important, I was not looking at amps then but I know to look now and not to buy a cheap off brand PSU it will just give you problems if not then but later on.

heck if I had the money that would be the only PSU I'd buy.



but, since I don't have the money, I'm waiting on the ocz ones as well. Are they out yet?

Congrats on the new toy man!

Sounds like you're gonna have a super-fast system...Can't wait to see what your doing.

Pc Power & Cooling make the best power supplies in the world dont ya know.

Didn't we go thru this in a post yesterday? I don't think they are out yet. The only site I found with them did not have them in stock.

Maybe, but I don't remember. What site did you see them at?
