j.baker Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 I have just swapped out my Antec 550 Truepower for an Akasa PowerPlus. Before the swap, I would get lockups and random reboots. Since the Akasa has been installed every thing is stable. BTW, I have another Antec 550 and an Enermax EG 651P-V(E) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidhammock200 Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 The Seasonic 600W is on sale at ewiz for 106 atm http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=PS-S12-600&c=pw I dunno should I get it? Since I don't have my other parts yet, and let it sit around for a few weeks until I start ordering my other stuff? Or should I holdoff and hope the prices are still the same in a few weeks? Buy it! :nod: Excellent price on a very good PSU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.baker Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 THe Antec True 550P 5V = 40A 12V = 24A 3.3V = 32A The Akasa Power Plus 650 (4 12V rails) 3.3V = 33A 5V = 24A 12V = 13A 12V = 18A 12V = 16A 12V = 8A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidhammock200 Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 THe Antec True 550P 5V = 40A 12V = 24A 3.3V = 32A Yea, that is what I thought. It is an older model, the current TP 550W is +12V@30A, the TP EPS 550W is +12V@36A & the TP II 550W's are +12V1@19A & +12V2@19A.

Guest slayer Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Hi Guys Ok I've been convinced I need to try a 24pin PSU in my system (going to be hard pulling out a 4 month old enermax ) This is for a htpc so noise is crucial so it looks like one of the seasonics is on the cards. The problem is they are not available at all in Australia. What I'm hoping is someone can advise me of a store that will Ship to Australia that also has good pricing on say the 600w model. Unfortunately ewiz's website quotes me $110 shipping which is a joke and silicon acoustics will ship for around $40usd but the actual psu is more pricey. The other choice I'm considering is a antec phantom 500 http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=24500 anyone have an opinion on these? If by any chance a newer psu that is just as quiet has hit the market feel free to advise me that way thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
