critical importance Enermax 600Watt

Is this a bad Psu?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817194001

Because i stupidly just went ahead and ordered it without reading the reviews, no I have looked at them and this seems to be a very bad psu. It might not be too late to cancel my order should I?

it is not really a bad psu, it just has too few +12V power and is sensible to fluctuations. imo it's quite expensive for such kind of power supply

[Bob_lahblah]

Should i cancel, what psus do you suggest
?

[Dj_iNSULIN]

what's your system?

[Bob_lahblah]

Silverstone tj06 case
DFI LP nf4 sli dr expert
amd opteron 165
2gb (4X 512 sticks) PQI Turbo
80 gb Seagate Barracuda
evga 7800 gt 256mb (only 1 no Sli)

[Dj_iNSULIN]

the enermax will do.
after all, IF it works, it's a very silent PSU providing power with very few ripple.
one small question: why do you take 4x512? you know it will be slow, right?

[Bob_lahblah]

well I am no going to OC yet. and i already had 1 gb of PQI Turbo so I just bought another. I know it will drop my performance to DDr333 but I figure i won't really notice the difference between that and ddr400

[Dj_iNSULIN]

<off topic>it won't drop to ddr333. it just needs a 2T command rate</off topic>

Only because yours messed up, it doesnt mean it is bad. It is a very good PSU and well worth the money. Go for it. In all the pc's i have built i use enermax and never had any problems what so ever.

I had just read a lot of the reviews (sorted by helpfullness) and a lot seemed to be very negative so it freaked me out a little. Seeing as i have just ordered it.

I won't take this as an offence, but I didn't said it is bad, did I? I just said it has too few +12V power and is sensible to 230V fluctuations, that's still quite positive if you remember ther're aready 3 messed up ones. AND, after posting his specs, I replied the enermax would do, and it provides silent and ripple-free power. what's the matter?

[Bob_lahblah]

I would like to know if the Noisetaker 600w is prone to blow like the reviews state. I Just don't wanna have to drop another 1000 bucks to replace my processor/MB/Ram etc. caused by a blown/shorted PSU.

[FartBubblez]

IMO if the big man with a million stickies recommends it ( david ) then its worth your money.. It's quite a good PSU though.. I've seen this thing baby power a 7800gtx rig

I was saying that it is well worth the money, whereas you say it is expensive for a psu like that. From what I know the Enermax are pretty cheap over here in the UK. Not sure about outside UK though. Although I must say that the new Enermax Liberty 500W or 620W is very good.

[Bob_lahblah]

thanks for the help guys, i will go ahead with the order.

Absolute rubbish!!!
To say there is too lower amps on the 12V's is ill informed to say the least.

If you have had 3 of these go wrong on you then i think its fair to say its user related rather than component related..

[Bob_lahblah]

ok, am revisiting this post just to bump and get anyone elses opinion before the company i placed the order with opens.

If someone thinks that the ENERMAX Noisetaker 600Watt PSU is a piece of junk that will blow my system please speak up now. Let your voice be heard.

[Ishy]

Enermax make great power supplies, and apart from Dj_iNSULINs case i haven't heard of one blowing for a long time.

ENERMAX All in One Noisetaker Series EG701AX-VE SFMA(24P) ATX12V 600W Power Supply.
The only thing wrong with this PSU is price point.

That is what I thought. Plus they are pretty cheap as well.
