Motherboard Clip

[MrRX7]

What are these clip bits on motherboard tray of case for?

[iAsuno]

i think you can tie the cables there with whatever ties you are using.

[Blackterror25]

for attaching cables to in the back for cable management with zip ties.

[MrRX7]

Personally don't like these since its plastic and it can break easily.

[MrRX7]

1. My 350D doesnt have those plastic clips that hold it neatly does it?

2. Also what is that case model?

@mgsstar

The 350D has places for you to tie your ziptites which is located around the rubber grommets and its better imo. The case model that has that is the C70. I think the 900D also uses those clips.

is FSP a good psu manufacturer how do they compare to others like Seasonic? which Seasonic is pretty much the best correct?

[CoolBeans]

Not worth it, even for how cheap they are

[nightlitezzz]

For me Super Flower>Seasonic however they are hard to find.

[Mooshi]

They aren't terrible but they aren't great, If you want a nice cheap little unit then they are probably a good buy

 

But yeah, Seasonic, Corsair and Silverstone are my 3 PSU manufacturers to go to if you want the best quality

 

But Corsair PSU's are rebranded units.

[CoolBeans]

But Corsair PSU's are rebranded units.

But the higher end ones are Seasonic rebrands

[Woodypc]

FSP if you look up reviews most of there series are very good, right up there with other PSUs. I would get one for my next build.

[Sarcasm]

For the most part, Corsair's crappier units like the CX series are Channel Well, and their higher ends are Seasonic.

[Mooshi]

That says nothing about the quality of them though, If the OEM make good quality units then why would slapping a corsair sticker on them and reselling them make it a bad unit?

 

No one is saying the units are bad. I was correcting the post since Corsair doesn't actually manufacture their PSUs so the OEM differs depending on the model. Unlike Seasonic which will always be a Seasonic.

But the higher end ones are Seasonic rebrands

 

I already knew this. :V

[Woodypc]

FSP Aurum Pro all have good reviews on top sites like jonnyguru.com and hardwaresecrets.com which both know what they are talking about when reviewing PSUs.

[LancerBG]

I am pretty sure Flextronics makes all the corsair psu's with an "i" in the name. Seasonic does not do all that software/monitoring stuff. 

[quan289]

They are solid. But like with other manufacturers, there are units that range from poor to great. It's a matter of what specific unit we are talking about.

 

As for the "best" manufacturer, I would say Delta Electronics.

 

There's only three units that are currently made by Seasonic, which are the HX650v2 (Seasonic G), AX760 and AX860 (Seasonic KM3). Six if you count the TXv2 which is Seasonic SS-***AT. Otherwise, the majority of Corsair PSUs are made by CWT from VS, CX, GS, TX, RM, and HX.

[MrRX7]

@quan289 is the Corsair TX650W made by corsair?

[quan289]

@quan289 is the Corsair TX650W made by corsair?

 

I had answered this already, and none of their PSUs are made by themselves. There are more than one version of the TX line in which only the non-modular TXv2 line was completely Seasonic. It's based on the S12II/M12II Bronze SS-***AT/AM design like the XFX Core Edition 650-850w, NZXT Hale82-M, Silverpower SP-S***/M, etc.

The original is from Channel Well Technologies. Only the V2 (CNPSU-TX*50V2) serials from the TX line are from Seasonic.

The C70 has both the plastic clips (which are quite useful and can be removed) and the metal tie down points around the grommets. 

[MrRX7]

im looking at getting this one; http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_354&products_id=17211

its a CMPSU-650TXV2 which is a different model number...

@quan289

@Sarcasm

[MrRX7]

also wont the writing be upside down when i install it as the fan will be at the bottom?

@quan289
@Sarcasm

[Sarcasm]

That's the same PSU I'm using right now. And no, my bottom mounted one with the fan down shows up fine. It should be reversed on each side to accompany it. And that is the same model number, I simply used an asterick to denote all the possible voltages, from 650-850. I will tell you now though, for the fact that it's a 650W it only has two 6+2 pins, so any SLI/Crossfire you do will require adapters.
