------

 

I'm still looking for a replacment power supply due to my 1600w Lepa restarting my computer when it's under load.

 

Example : Running Valley or Heaven the system will restart but running a game ( Euro Truck Sim 2 ) it worked fine.

 

**Before you say that's a potatoe game, It was the only game the was quick to download and test**

 

------

 

The budget for a new power supply is between $100 - $150. I would prefer it to be below $150 if possible.

 

Some people said a 750w is enough and some people said 850w is what I need.

 

So let me know what you guys would recommend at my budget.

 

Keep in mind I do plan to have the 8350 overclocked.

 

Thanks!

Yeah, aka Sparkle. You can do a lot better for the price. Get an EVGA 750 G2 or B2 instead

that psu doesnt sound like a solid one.. if you wnat the max wattage for your budget you could get his http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220gs1050v1

a 750w G2 is also a solid choice if you dont want to spend that much

Would the EVGA be the best for that budget?

 

I want to make sure I can get whats best for the money.

EVGA G2 and B2 are some of the best in their price ranges.

 

The extra for the G2 is put towards full modularity, more efficiency, and hybrid fan mode, but both are very solid PSUs

I should of mentioned I would like to pick the power supply up in store.

 

So for that one it would be MicroCenter and they have it for $169.99, Which is over my budget.

Don't you also pay extra for the gold certification?

[thekeemo]

Yes, that's the "more efficiency" part lol, but honestly, nobody needs the G2 over the B2.

What do you guys think of this power supply :http://www.directron.com/cougargx1050.html

Ripple is at least in spec on this review; though the only previous review had it out of spec on the 5v rail by 5mv. 

Still rather disappointing all around. 

Cougar is also still lying about the fan being a Hydro Dynamic / Fluid Dynamic bearing. 

Part Number shows it's a Sleeve bearing fan.

If you are buying from that site then I would go with this Antec Edge:

 

http://www.directron.com/edge750.html

 

If you want something cheaper then go for the Antec HCG 750W.

Bear in mind the G2 1000W does not have the hybrid fan mode.

Is there a reason why the Edge would be better than the FSP model?

[Dive5885]

That feature isn't really necessary for me.

 

If the power supply has it good but if not it's okay.

Ok, just to let you know.

I undertand lol

 

It's just tough to figure out what power supply to get when there are so many choices.

Edge is based off Seasonic G platform, which is better then Aurum Pro. 

 

+1 for the Antec
