Iceblade Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 http://global.aopen.com.tw/products/power/AO700-12ALN.htm I can get this in South-Africa for about $115 or http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=23650 for about $205 So I'm seriously thinking about the A-Open, how's the 12v rail and rest of the specs on the A-Open, will it be a safe bet?

The ripple & noise specs of the A-Open exceed the ATX/Intel/AMD specs. NOT RECOMMENDED. The Antec Trio is & good PSU, H_G is testing one now with excellent results.

yfital Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 heh, dude, when he says ripple noise he means the amount of the flancuations between the lowest and highest the Voltages of each rails do... Thats is very bad for a psu, the lower the better, max ripple is 10% for 12v, and for the rest 5% (if i aint mistaken), and even if they reach that, it means its overloaded or just bad hardware... i suggest you listen to David, i think he has 'nuff experiance over this section. latz, good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripple & noise refer to the quality of the voltage output & that A-Open doesn't even claim to meet the specs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceblade Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 look at this review at Toms Hardware: http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/07/11/str...test/index.html and this page: http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/07/11/str...est/page28.html The OCZ 600w, SWITCHED OFF in most test if not all :eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not about the OCZ GXS 600W, it is about the older PowerStream. And it was written by "Tom's" which is far from being a good source for anything PSU related. FORGETABOUTIT!

Iceblade Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 that's good, found this supplier in South-Africa, if you look at the range of PSU, what should I go for? http://www.frontosa.co.za/psu.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
