| 282492 | 2004-10-20 07:38:00 | im upgrading it fistly becasue i dont really trust it to much as it came with my case and i am going to do some pretty big upgrades soon so i decided to get a better psu - more voltage etx | ApeNz (4220) | ||
| 282493 | 2004-10-20 07:43:00 | b1naryb0y - is this the one with two fans or one big 120mm fans | ApeNz (4220) | ||
| 282494 | 2004-10-20 08:01:00 | It is the single 120mm fan model. These Task PSUs really are good quality. They are heavy and solid, about twice the weight of an equivalent generic PSU. I have long held the belief that a heavy PSU is a good PSU. By all means, there are better PSUs out there, but you are not going to get much better at that price point. |

| 282495 | 2004-10-20 08:03:00 | thanks for that - im thinking of getting the 2 * 80mm fan from QMB its about $25 cheaper , apart from that i think its all the same | ApeNz (4220) | ||
| 282496 | 2004-10-20 08:27:00 | Ape, why would you want more voltage? Surely a good PSU should provide the precise voltages for the PC components. No more & certainly no less. You are probably meaning more watts & hence more amps available. As one demands more current from any power supply or battery than it can deliver, the voltage drops. The measure of a good PSU, is to provide the total current required for all components, without significant voltage drop. OK, of course, you knew that! |

If these task PSU's are good as people seem to think they are then a 400w should be fine. You dont trust it because it came with your case yet your willing to upgrade to a PSU made by the same company? I'll let you in on a lil secert, the quality of the PSU that came with your case and the one you want to buy will be the same. They dont sit there and go "muhahha lets only ship crappy PSU's with our cases". If your only willing to spend hardly anything on a PSU i cant see how your upgrades will be "pretty big" |

| 282499 | 2004-10-20 23:31:00 | i see what you mean - but in past threads i identifed that my PSU could be failing or something was wrong with it ( See CPU Sound ) , the PSU i have in my case is different from the one i am planning to buy , i think that although my current one has the watts its other specs could be not as good then the one i am planning to buy. I don't want to buy a top of the range PSU that tells you everything from how much wattage you are using to the time , just a one that would do the job and allow more room for upgrading. | ApeNz (4220) | ||
