SMPS help · DIGIT-ARC

I

which smps should i get
VIP 600W SMPS | Buy SMPS in Mumbai | Best SMPS
OR
FSP Saga II 500W Power Supply

I have a Saphire 5770 Vapor-X and Intel Core2duo E4500 @ 2.20 GHz

and yea how about this Corsair 500W CX PSU 5x SATA 2x PCI-Express

so out of these 3 which 1 should i get ?

no to VIP. get Corsair VX450W.

I

how about the Corsair CX500W ?

if on budget, then fsp saga 500W @2k

R

go for CX 400 @ 2.8k instead of CX 500 3k.....as CX 400 easily outperforms CX 500 because of its 80+ rating.....and CX 500 is a bit overrated PSU in terms of wattage

I

No to the CX400 and VX450 because i am looking for something which is above 450 watts as it would even be useful in future. how about this Buy Cooler Master Power Supply | Cooler Master 500W eXtreme Power Supply

and Cooler Master Real Power Pro 460W and COOLER MASTER GX 450W (these have maximum output of 540 and 552 W) and what is the maximum output of VX 450 ?

Cooler Master 500W eXtreme < CX400

Source? AFAIK one cannot pull more than 450W in GX 450W

Max. o/p of VX450 is 570W :lol:

CM Extreme PSU are bombs. don't get it even if someone gifts you.

also CX series is more of a budget series. VX is better. and VX450W can give out 550W output under load. so getting VX450W over the CX series is recommended.

agreed. gift it back to your worst opponent

lesson : go for vx450 @ 3600
else go for fsp saga2 500W @ 2000 if on a tight budget

Mention your budget first.

I

Rs.3900 is my budget and where will i get the cheapest VX450 ? At primeabgb its at 3900 , not available at smcinternational and itwares and at ebay it is at 3,750

Then get the VX450. Where do you live btw?

i live in jabalpur , MP

I guess you can't procure it locally, prices of vx450 at all online shops are almost same. Can you post the ebay link?

VX450 for 3.75k including shipping: eBay India: CORSAIR VX450 POWER SUPPLY (CMPSU-450VXUK) (item 120721814400 end time 07-Jun-2011 13:19:45 IST)

The seller is Tirupati Enterprises, the distributor of Corsair in India.

Does itwares support credit/debit card payment, if so what is the surcharge?

AFAIK, they don't support any payment gateway which rules out CC/DC. Only if you buy from their ebay shop you can use CC/DC.

If going for ebay tirupati has cheapest price.

Much depend on whether the savings on using credit card is significant compared to the higher price charged in ebay. Like the K62 cabby from itwares is 6150/- with shipping if you do a EFT. In ebay its 6250/-. Now interest earned for 50/60 days on 6150/- is not enough to cover the 100 bucks gap. So a EFT seems better option. But yes, ebay has some other benefits.

i have NO idea. i did a cash transfer via icici bank. dont have a credit/debit card

Ok after a lot of thinking , i got my budget up till Rs.4850

so now for what should i go for VX450 @3600(TheITWares - One Stop for all Gizmos!CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX 450W ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified SMPS) or VX550@4825( www.theitwares.com/corsair-cmpsu550...e-ready-plus-certified-power-supply-p-86.html ) or GS600 @ 4100 (Buy Corsair | Buy Corsair 600G Power Supply | Corsair CMPSU 600G Power Supply)

for your current rig, VX450 will do a superb job. i dont see any need of a 500W psu yet.

unless you want to upgrade in the next few months to a bigger and power-hungry rig, save your money, dont take the VX550 and stick with the VX450. its a good choice.
