Eurotrance Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 After reading about how psu's can sometimes fry your motherboard, I have finally figured out how my motherboard was fried a few months ago (which led me to upgrade to an amd 64) I am now using the same power supply... and I do not want it to happen again. I am looking for a power supply that is fairly priced and has a good brand and can also support all my stuff. I would like it if it had blue lights (if any) and cheap. I like this one, but I dont know how good the brand is. http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...6415&CatId=1079 btw I am looking towards a 500w+ psu Any suggestions would be nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fried_fry Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 thats a pretty nice psu but i have herd some bad reviews on them. But then again it all comes to personal choice, its great for wire managment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammin Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 Most ppl around here would tell you to stay away from the x-connect. I haven't had personal experience with them, but there are certainly more established quality brands out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNUco2007 Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 My number one recommendation for a quality PSU is obviously gonna be PCP&C, however they are expensive. (keep in mind you get what you pay for) Another one you can look into is the OCZ Powerstream 520W. That would be my number two choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammin Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 One thing to consider when buying a quality PSU - Don't base it on what it looks like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurotrance Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 yeah i understand. ok, all im looking for now is a good psu, and im just hoping it can go my colour scheme. I'm wanting it to be pre-sleeved uv blue. Is that too much to ask? Is it just me or is it hard to find a nice looking good quality psu? PS: i hate the colour green.

Unless you're looking indside the PSU of course, then what it looks like might actually be a pretty good indication to quality.
