UPDATED 4-20-09 ALL mobo manufacturers recommend 24-pin native ATX for their newer mobos, not adaptors! These "Recommended Brands" have are responsible for introducing the very best PSU's available, as well as providing cost effective PSU's for less demanding situations. Not every PSU offered by these "trusted brands" is a stellar performer, but none are known to cause problems either! The Best of the Best: World Class! Antec: Signature Series: 650W & 850W Corsair: HX Series: 520W, 620W & 1000W Delta Electronics Etasis Enermax: REVOLUTION85+ Series: 850W, 950W & 1050W, Galaxy Evo 1250W PC P&C: Turbo Cool Series: 860W & 1200W Seasonic: Seventeam Silverstone: Zeus ZM & ZU Series: 1200W Zalman Zippy/Emacs The Best of the Rest: More Than Good Enough! Akasa CWT Fortron (FSP) (Sparkle) iStarUSA OCZ Tagan Xcilo Other companies also make "known good" PSU's, that we will recommend on a unit by unit basis as their line-ups includes "known problem" PSU's as well. Some Recommended PSU's will be Single +12V Rail, most will have from 2X to 6X +12V Rails, The Vast Majority of the Time (95%+) the Number of Rails will have NO Impact on System Performance. Only Very Unusual Systems Will Truly Benefit from Using a Single-Rail PSU. Prices are posted at time of update, always search for lowest price, shipping & tax before ordering! Quote:

Sorted By What Really Counts! Max Combined +12V Amperage!As you know, if you don't read this Guide, for today's systems it is all about the +12V Amperage, not the wattage, only rarely the number of rails, not the +3.3V or the +5V or the -12V or the +5Vsb, and certainly not the "retired from specs/usage" -5V. All Recommend PSU's have more than enough amperage on these "secondary" rails, it how much amperage that a PSU has on the +12V rail(s) that determines its abilities & classification. Therefore we will sort our list of Recommend PSU's by their +12V Amperage, not their wattage! All Recommended PSU's are either 80 PLUS Certified &/or Proven to Average 80%+ Efficiency. Prices are posted at time of update, always search for lowest price, shipping & tax before ordering! SeaSonic SS-300ES 300W Max.

Cheap, but Good Power Supplies! (Updating 2-22-09) Modular Power Supplies (Updated 3-15-09) Name Brand Recommendations: (Updated 2-21-09) Single Rail Recommendations: (Updated 2-21-09) Multi-Rail PSU Recommendations: (Updating 2-22-09) PSU’s: The Best of the Best of the Best! http://forums.extremeoverclocking.co...&postcount=770 (Updated March 7, 2007) What Dave Would Buy: http://forums.extremeoverclocking.co...&postcount=431 (Updated March 9, 2007) Why Recommend Only Single Rail PSU's? This is a work in progress & it will never be finished (10-25-04). The only precise way to choose a PS is to add up the maximum current (amperage) draw for each individual rail and then provide at least an additional 30% for overhead. All PS calculators use averages, they are not precise. A 1000Watt PS is useless if that wattage is delivered on the wrong rail(s)! Voltages & Amperage: Only the +3.3V, +5V, +5Vsb, -12V & +12V are used by modern computers. Spec is usually +/- 5%. When the original ATX spec was written the +3.3V & +5V were far more stressed by heavy usage demands than they are in today’s computers. Almost any high quality ATX/EPS spec PS of 300Watts or more can supply far more +3.3V & +5V amperage than today’s computers require. Today’s computers, stress the +12V rail the most, requiring far more amperage than was originally called for in the original ATX/EPS specs for the +12V rail. Video cards are the biggest +12V resource hogs! Wattage: Voltage times Amperage equals Wattage. Wattage is the ability to do work; it can be converted into Horse Power. A PS’s wattage rating is the total combined wattage output of all the rails combined. Older ATX designs created most of their wattage in the +3.3 & +5V rails, creating very little on the +12V rail. Newer ATX/EPS designs are creating ever more wattage on the +12V rail(s), to meet the needs of today’s & tomorrow’s computers. To see why total wattage should never be used to select a power supply, but that the properly allocated wattage is very important in selecting the proper PS, please click on the following link to the ONLY "Power Supply Calculator" that I can & DO RECOMMEND, provided by & constantly updated by "mnemonik23": http://www.extreme.outervision.com/ PC P&C Power Supply Selector: http://www.pcpowercooling.com/produc...lies/selector/ Hold Up Time: Measured in milliseconds (ms) is how long the PS will continue to supply in spec voltage & amperage, once the AC input voltage is removed. The longer the hold up time, generally the higher the quality of the PS. Hold up time gives the time necessary for an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to switch to batteries and allow uninterrupted operation of the computer. Efficiency and Temperature: There are no electronic devices that are 100% efficient & PS’s are no exception. Typically PS’s operate between 70% and 90% efficiency. The more efficient the PS, the less power that is lost as heat and the lower the cooling requirements. Newer PSU's meeting the 80 PLUS specs have efficiency ratings from 80% to as high as 90%. The "80 PLUS" certification requires 80% or higher efficiency at 20%, 50% & 100% load. Reading and Adjusting Voltages: BIOS and software such as Motherboard Monitor 5 (MM5) can not be fully trusted to give accurate voltage readings and since many of today's better PS's allow the user to easily adjust their voltages, it is very important that a voltmeter/multimeter be used to measure these voltages correctly. How Measure PS Voltages (Rails): http://forums.extremeoverclocking.co...d.php?t=137886 Recommended Digital Multimeter (DMM): http://forums.extremeoverclocking.co...&postcount=491 PFC: Power Factor Correction: This has always been important for large scale commercial applications, now it is something that the home & small office user should also consider. Required by law in the EU, it is becoming a "big deal" for the home & small office users in North America. Active PFC will cause the "apparent" electrical load measured in V/A to approximately equal the "true" electrical load, measured in watts. ActivePFC requires a "True Sine Wave" VAC input to operate properly and will overheat, possibly causing serious problems if operated on a "stepped" wave or "modified sine wave" for an extended periods of time. Lower cost UPS battery backs usually produce a "stepped" wave or "modified sine wave" when running on battery power and should not be used for extended periods of time. High-end UPS, such as the APC Smart BackUps series produce a "True Sine Wave" and should be used exclusively for longer periods of battery run time. new egg: I started using new egg as the primary reference source for several reasons including their popularity, broad selection, low prices & format. There is also the fact that I’m basically lazy & using new egg made this much easier! I am now trying to link the factory specs & use Google/Froogle for lowest pricing. Other PS’s: I am not perfect or all knowledgeable, it is highly probable that I have made errors of omission, please forgive me as I have done more or less the best that I could given the restraints of the real world. I am sure that there are other PS’s that deserve to be recommended and with any major price changes my recommendations might have been different. I update this guide as often as possible, already (11-4-04) as a result of suggestions by knowledgeable EOCF members 4 additional PS's have been added to the recommended list. Please add your experiences, comments & recommendations to this thread. They will be appericated. APC UPS: American Power Conversion (APC) http://www.apcc.com makers of IMO the world’s finest Uninterpretable Power Supplies (UPS), check them out, I promise that you will be glad you did. APC Recommendations: Use 2 or more PS’s: It is often better & cheaper to use more than one PS to power your computer. Fortron (FSP), Thermaltake and others offer "GPU Booster" PSU's. These are mounted in the front 5.25" bay(s) and provide an extra 250W to 650W of +12V for the GPU's. Also, there are two methods of using 2X ATX/EPS PSU's together in one system. The first is simple & safe, the second requires the skills of an electronics technician and if performed improperly could damage your system, and so we will concentrate on the safe & simple method. Use a second PS to power your lights & fans and maybe your HDD’s, FDD’s & OD’s. Allowing your main PS to concentrate on your MoBo, CPU & Video Card(s). As your lights, fans & various drives are electrically isolated from your MoBo, this is safe & simple, allowing you to use as many PS’s as required, to power all of the eye candy imaginable. Turn your Fans & Drives "ON" first & turn them "OFF" last. To be recommended to power a modern system the power supply must meet the following criteria: (1) It must meet all usual ATX/EPS, AMD, Intel & UL standards for USA operation, (2) It must have been manufactured by a well known reputable company, known to offer products of high quality, their products having been used, tested, reviewed & recommended by many experienced & knowledgeable users, and (3) It must supply the required +12V amperage rail(s), to power its intended class of system.

Name Brand Recommendations:
Certain PSU brands have earned the right to have their "Brand Name" recommended, due to the fact that over they years they have continuously brought quality products to the market. The vast majority of their PSU have been and are "proven good" units! This does not mean that all of the PSU's they have produced are good for all of the systems ever built, far from it, as specifications have changed, they have adapted their product lines in a timely fashion, providing the proper classifications of PSU's to meet these ever-changing and evolving standards. In the current common ATX form factor we original powered the CPU via the +5V rail, and GPU's consummend little power, in those days more +5V amperage was the mark of good PSU design and as long as the +12V rail had 12A to 18A everything was fine for 95%+ of PC users. Then AMD & Intel decided CPU's should be powered by the +12V rail and ATI & nVidia began their never ending campaigns of ever increasingly powerful GPU's, all powered by the same +12V amperage that the CPU's demanded. A total PSU redesign was necessary! These "Recommended Brands" (if they were selling PSU's at the time) quickly adapted and introduced new PSU's to meet these new requirements. Please understand very few retailers build their own PSU's, they contract this to others. Does this mean that these are just "rebranded" what-evers? NO! The PSU's are manufactured to the contracted specs of the brand owner. Within the brands we find units of different design and quality, some are better than others. Are all Antec's better than all Corsairs, are all Corsairs better than all Silverstones? No! Antec, Corsair & Silverstone all offer "world class" PSU's, as do several others, however, they also offer lower quality, lower priced PSU's as demanded by the marketplace. The "BIG DEAL" is that none of them (TBK) offer any "known bad" PSU's!!! These "Recommended Brands" have (TBK) never intentionally offered "known bad" PSU's to the market. And when problems were discovered, they quickly corrected the problems. We present these "Name Brand Recommendations" for your consideration: The Best of the Best: World Class: Antec Corsair Delta Electronics Etasis Enermax PC P&C Seasonic Seventeam Silverstone Zippy/Emacs The Best of the Rest: Good Enough: Akasa iStarUSA Fortron (FSP) (Sparkle) OCZ Tagan Xcilo Zalman Historical Problems, but Current Offerings are Good: CWT Not every PSU offered by these "trusted brands" is a stellar performer, but none are known to cause major problems either! Other companies also make "known good" PSU's, that are also recommended, however their line-ups includes "known problems" as well.

Not so fast Chris. Sparkle makes good PSU's just not the one he posted. This is the one that has the 36A on the 12v, but then again it's $99 it's a 550w peak/528w TRUE!!! http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...103-478&depa=0 IMO a good psu is going to cost at least $70 I would say budget: Fortron 530W $70-80 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...104-968&depa=0 midrange: Ultra Xconnect 500w (some love it, some hate it, but nobody I can name. It's just personal preff.) but a **** good psu regardless. 34A on the 12v!!! http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...uctCode=273003 read more here http://reviews.pimprig.com/power_sup...t_500w_psu.php Top Shelf: is ocz 520w or Pc power and cooling 510 dlx, but at $200 the Ocz kills it!

A Sparkle 350W PSU would be really nice
![]() Those PSUs are high quality, and are very conservative (not politically) in the power rating they give it. Most 500W PSUs don't give anything close to that. |

Some very highly respected PSU brands have thrown the old, outdated ATX/EPS, Intel PSU specs "out the window", and are offering some excellent PSU's with 2 or more +12V rails, that do not suffer from the problems of the past, we are proud to present them for your consideration.

AnandTech has finished their 2, 3 & 4 Way CF & SLI Testing &
they have included excellent charts on their power consumption! A MUST READ if you are even thinking of going CF or SLI! All testing was done using a Single Rail PC P&C 1200W PSU. Rember, No OC'ing was done on any system! AnandTech: MultiGPU Update: Two-GPU Options in Depth AnandTech: MultiGPU Update: Does 3-way Make Sense? AnandTech: MultiGPU Update: Finding the True Halo with 4-way These Power Consumption Charts are from AnandTech. Last edited by davidhammock200 : 04-18-2009 at 10:40 PM. |

I just ordered an OCZ Powerstream 420w last night, I will post with results once it's installed and running. Thanks for this Post Dave
Update: I just recieved it today and so far I am running 230x10@1.6v 4xHTT with timings at 10,3,3,2,1t and it hasnt failed prime yet...my rails in MBM5 still read high on the 5v and low on the 12v but the lights on the psu are all green and I think I will take the readings of a $100 psu over a $70 mobo. So far I am impressed as now I am able to run both my optical drives and my case fans again. (was using a 350w power up psu since I sold my Enlight to a customer whose Antec I ordered for his rig I built was DOA) Last edited by AMD_LVR_N_AK! : 10-28-2004 at 08:22 PM. |
