help PSU


Recommended Posts

Ok so im here to ask if someone knows if hec X-Power Pro 600 600W Continuous @ 40°C ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply is good, i know is SUPER CHEAP but that just worrys me a lo ^^ but if someone has expirience with it or hear something good or bad about the company then that will be ok.

 

The system that the PSU will run is : CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 450

MB : ASRock 870 EXTREME3

hdd : green caviar

GPU: 5770 x 2 (CF)

plus one cd burner

 

Probably in the fututre there will be a little more, oh and we will try to unlock the 4 core plus overclock the 450.

 

Thanks in advance

I can't find any reviews so it's hard to give an informed opinion.

 

Is that a 110V/230V selector switch I have seen on the back? If it is then it's a very old design without active power factor correction.

 

I can't find what the total amperage is on the 12V rails, it says 30A on 12V1 and 22A on 12V2 but you can't just add them together, there will be a combined maximum wattage, do you know what it is? I imagine it's quite low?

 

There are reports of a few failures on newegg but it may be OK, who knows, but I'd rather be safe than sorry! ;)

Cant go wrong with Corsair, XFX or Seasonic (actually both Corsair and XFX sell Seasonic PSUs which are quality stuff).

:withstupid: Go with a recommended power supply from the website here. If you do go with something other then that make sure its not a generic dell replacement psu that costs around $1.00 to build in Taiwan. High performance computers do not get along with crappy PSU's. If it were me and from what i have heard I would go with PC power and cooling for the PSU.
