Zebronics 500W Platinum
runs fine nd has been using it for more than 1 yr.
It handles X2 4200+ oc(939 90W), 3HDDs, 2ODDs, 7600GT oc and other usual stuffs.
pros: stable enuf to run the above given hardwares
Gud lookig LED fan
Good black finish and carries 6pin nd 8pin PCIE connectors.
cool nd quite with its 120mm bottom fan.

Cons: no cable sleeving
no dual 12v rails
quite heavy ( its gud considering the weight is due to bigger heatsink and transformer)

what is meaning of modular power supply
dOm1naTOr
Apr 19, 2008 at 5:43 PM
ones whose cables are detachable from the PSU itself.
U need to to connect the required ones only. It reduces clutters and improves airflow nd gives a neat look.
Mostly modular PSUs comes with sleeved cables for better looks.

I think zeb 500w are not good enough. I feel that the power supply is not stable/constant and eventually comes down when it is used for long hrs and gets heated up, mainly playing Crysis for long hrs...

Ok asking it for the last time :D

Are your PSU's with or without Active/passive PFC and which UPS are you on if at all you are on a UPS.
