Questions on FSP Saga II 500W

I was going to buy Corsair VX450 from SMC international, but today, i discovered that it wasnt present on the list. so, i m going for FSP Saga II 500W powersupply.

Is it reliable enough to power my system without problems ?

I use HD 5770 as my GPU.

i too was looking for a psu, fsp saga2 350W.
many people recommend it, and its even on the "build your rig" thread.

but go for corsair vx450. its great value for money. dont go for the 450W rating, corsair people have UNDERATED it. i read someone's post that it can even give peak output of ~600W.

good luck.

FSP Saga ii 500 can power even a HD6850(w/o any OCing)...

Regarding VX450, in test they were able to pull 570 W at 48º C... For our use it can deliver upto 500W

^^ Manju, FSP Saga II 500W will handle even a HD6850, but not at ease. If other components are not power hungry, it can. In OP's case, it can handle his whole rig without any hiccup but if you have Some i7+6850, can u recommend it?

@OP

Go for FSP Saga II 500W. It is reliable and can power your rig at ease.

how can you say that? that psu is enough for 6870 too for a entry-mid system.

thanks, I decided to buy fsp saga for my system. I have no intensions of upgrading my pc.

@jaz, i am gonna buy sapphire 6870 with fps saga II 500, and also am certainly gonna overclock..
My current rig is phenom II X4 955 BE @ 3.6 & 4 Gbs of ram with 3-4 hard drives.
So will saga suffice or should i go with corsair 450.

Yup, VX-450 will be the ultimate choice.
But also get hands on TacensSupero 500W/600W for the same price.
I heard that its even better than VX-450 for its price.

ehm.. i got CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 another psu.. is it good than fsp saga II 500w ?? please suggest. TheITWares - One Stop for all Gizmos!CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 CMPSU-430CX 430W ATX12V Active PFC Power Supply

Yes, i can if there is no OCing..

@OP, Get CX400 or FSP Saga II 500W... To be future proof get VX450...
CX430 has poor build quality and lower current in +12v rail than CX400, also CX430 is not 80+ certified.....

Better to get SAGAII 500W than CX-430. If CX-400 is avaialble then go for it, its better than CX-430.

are these psu available at nehru place? or do i have to order it online?
i heard that shopkeepers say that "corsair to psu nahi banati".
im going to buy mine (fsp saga2 400W) next week, please advise

don't overclock & you are fine. why waste 3.5k more just to get little extra performance?

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-components-configurations/139367-psu-new-rig.html

written in stone....NOT!!!

Tacen's supero 600 @ 3.5k is an ideal choice. It can easily handle a 6850cf.

not going for a 6850. 5670 is the one, and if i can manage to rob a bank next month, a 5770.

Seasonic S12ii 520 - 3.5K

Seasonic S12ii 520 - 3.5K

WOW amazing price.

^^ Why not tacens supero 600 buddy? At same price, you get a modular, silent and 80+ bronze psu. Its fsp epsilon btw and even better.

^epsilon lacks good reviews. and seasonic you know is king.

^^ But this one is no epsilon. Its oem is fsp and the product is quite good and maybe good enough to give seasonic a run for its money. At 3.5k , you don't often see a modular, silent and 80+ bronze psu. The price tag should have been more than 6k on these specs. Its got a whooping 4 12v rails. Check details below:

This is having 89%+ bronze certification
Max Output: +3.3 V: 36 A
+5V: 30 A +5 V: 30 A
+12V1: 18 A +12 V1: 18 A
+12V2: 18 A +12 V2: 18 A
+12V3: 18 A +12 V3: 18 A
+12V4: 18 A +12 V4: 18 A
-12V: 0,8 A -12V: 0.8 A
+5Vsb: 3 A +5 Vsb: 3 A

Full Modular and ultra silent. Active PFC design with PF> 0.99

And for the review, check HERE.

This psu can easily handle a 6870cf with i7 2600k. Its that good.

some nice reviews from jonny guru or hardware secrets?

^^nope , this is the only review out there. Recently, cilus's friend has purchased a supero 600 with 6850. He will xfire later and says its quite cool and silent. I think its very good and worth recommending. What say?

^Looks good... price of supero 600 ??

^^ Its 3.5k including taxes buddy :smile:

. Our forum member cilus had enquired in kolkata and confirmed the price. Its available with local dealers there.

I think availability wil be an issue in some places...

since, i m planning to overclock very hard .. increasing 60MhZ on Core clock of HD 5770... i want to have sure that FSP Saga II 500 will handle it.

yeah, oc wont put a large strain on the psu, its the heat you have to worry about.
it should handle it fine.

make sure there's good airflow.

@doomgiver

Thanks

I will install additional 2 CoolerMaster 60CFM fans ...
