Pur3vil Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) I've got this in my posting below, but no responses, Not on the approved thread , are they crap? I'm looking at the 550w, it's modular, and about $75 after shipping, I know they do great memory... power supply any good though?

Bosco Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 There new 800 Watt rocks the 550 I was not fond of. Their 600 Watt one they had was not bad either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pur3vil Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 you weren't fond why? Cause that's the one I'm looking at. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find alot of information or reviews on the XP-550 which is sometimes a bad sign but what little there is is positive. Can't say much more than that really!

damian Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 spend a little more for alot more quality http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817139004 Thats just my suggestion though, Muskin power supplies aren't that bad but i prefer the higher watt models Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pur3vil Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) ** Modular Cabling Support No ** rules this one out, I've got a hard enough time with my case. spend a little more for alot more quality http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817139004 Thats just my suggestion though, Muskin power supplies aren't that bad but i prefer the higher watt models Edited June 4, 2008 by pvtgump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 you weren't fond why? Cause that's the one I'm looking at. They told me the build quality was not as good as there other ones and if I remember correctly that was one of the first PSU's they did. They got way better with there 600 models and the 800 watt one as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 ** Modular Cabling Support No ** rules this one out, I've got a hard enough time with my case. bah, don't get a crappy power supply because you're worried it's not modular. every time i think modular i think about the x-connects...which were simply horrible in my opinion. go with the corsair and take care of the wire management like most of us do good luck man Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Neither my XP650 or XP800 have given me a minute of trouble. The 650 ran a water cooled Q6600 at 3.6 , 2 8800 GTS 640mb in SLI ,3HDD, 2 opticals and 5 Silverstone FM121 fans at full tilt with no issues. I beat on it hard and its still around to tell the tale.

Pur3vil Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) there is no "taking care of" in my case... To do what I did last time required hacking my PSU to peices. Personally I'd rather not do that again. bah, don't get a crappy power supply because you're worried it's not modular. every time i think modular i think about the x-connects...which were simply horrible in my opinion. go with the corsair and take care of the wire management like most of us do good luck man Edited June 4, 2008 by pvtgump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Do you have budget? Modular power supplies are pretty expensive (well the ones that are darn good) Id look into these corsair 620HX - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817139002 antec 850w - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817371009 (this one is pretty cheap for a modular psu, but looks really good) xigmatek 750w - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817815002 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
