PSU OEM Database

[Makalu]

Hey Jon, here's some more brands from a list I started once. Sorry no UL numbers...none of these are too awfully obscure or "local" I think. Also, I think the only manufacturer here is Works Power (performance-pcs.com and directron.com sell these). I know they used to have a website but I can't seem to locate it now. It was only company info anyway, no product info.

[jonnyGURU]

For those who don't know what this is for:

http://www.jonnyguru.com/SMPS_UL.htm

Thanks for the heads up.

Unfortunately, I'm looking for is at least the brand and the manufacturer. Just knowing that the brand is out there isn't really good enough for the list because there's no accounting for who makes it.

So if anyone can find out who makes Huntkey, NorthQ and GTR/I-cube, I'll add it.

None of these companies are listed as themselves in the UL database.

I'll add Sharkoon to the FSP listing since I know at least the 600W and 700W are based on the Epsilon.

I'll research the others later. Maybe some other members can help.

[Oklahoma Wolf]

Huntkey seems to be Shenzen Chi Yuan: http://terasan.info/dengen/no046_3/index.html
A Coba unit - not sure who makes these: http://www.teschke.de/heatpipes/Neues/Netzteile/Coba_300_Watt/coba_300_watt.html
NorthQ - Shenzen Chi Yuan from the looks of it: http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews/NorthQ%204800-400%20PSU/
Engelking - FSP: http://www.silenthardware.de/reviews/psu/sieben_passivnetzteile_roundup/engelking_ap2_6300sfc_a/index.html
Qtechnology - this one is apparently Enhance: http://www.au-ja.de/review-psu2005-2.phtml
Sansun - Andyson: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sansun/Arctic450W/3
Yesico - Andyson? Having trouble with this one... a fanless unit of theirs looks like Etasis: http://www.tweakpc.de/hardware/tests/netzteile/yesico_silentcool_550w/s02.php

I think I'll stop there for now... my eyes are burning from squinting at tiny review pictures ;)

[Spectre]

uhm Casegears and Maddog come to mind too

Maddog used to be Super Flower IIRC.

Edit: Funny funny me http://www.slcentral.com/ttgi-superflower-plug-n-power-550w/

[jonnyGURU]

Good work!

They'll be added to the list in a few.

[Oklahoma Wolf]

I'm going to call Yesico a Sirtec supplied company - that 560W bears too much resemblance to this one, which is definitely a Sirtec:

[Makalu]

wow Oklahoma that's a lot of detective work...and fast too! I just googled images of logisys and levicom psu's and they both look too much like Aspire's to not be Youngyear. And this Maxtop here (with a CWT number) appears to be CWT...sherlock holmes eat your heart out ;)

[burebista]

Yesico is Sirtec 100%. We have it here and UL number is from Sirtec. ;)
They have a quiet fan and it's suspended on rubber.

:eek: AVG DETECTED UP A VIRUS WHEN I OPENED THE ABOVE LINK.

Same here. And then IE crashed.

I'm killing the link.

Something VERY BAD is going down on that site.

[Makalu]

erm sorry about that...loaded fine with Firefox...I had to run IE and lower the security settings to get anything odd. Said it was trying to run an add-on "Microsoft Data Access Remote Data Services"...i clicked no...anyway the UL number on the Maxtop there is 161451

[jonnyGURU]

Ok.... Adding now.

BTW: Sansun isn't all Andyson. The Stealth Bomber is Wintec. But since the guy who owns Wintech is cousins with the guy who owns Andyson, would that surprise me?

[jonnyGURU]

Are you sure CRS is made by CWT? If so, I need to add it to the list too.

[Makalu]

well I have a little more info on some of these. Here's a review of an A+GPB unit with a Topower transformer.

http://www.atruereview.com/magiccolor/magiccolor.php

And here's a review of a GTR 450w unit that's obviously the same as an Aspire 500w.

http://www.dansdata.com/quickshot016.htm

And there's some sort of connection between Casegears and Sunbeamtech since all of the Casegear review units I've seen were provided by Sunbeam and also I see that the two Casegear units are sold at newegg but listed under Sunbeamtech...Casegear retail box and label though...labels have a UL logo but no file number. So I dunno what they are really...are all of the Sunbeam units Andyson as far as you know?

[jonnyGURU]

Oops... Don't know why I keep forgetting A+GPB. I knew they were Topower.

Does anyone have an A+GPB website link?

The GTR on Dan's site definitely looks like Youngyear. Any more GTR links?

And how about a shot of the inside of a Casegear? If the transformer has a part number starting with "AD" than it's an Andyson.

[Makalu]

A+GPB used to have a website at http://gpb-jge.com/ but it's gone now. Here's another GTR review at Dans. http://www.dansdata.com/quickshot015.htm

Google Image search brings up lots of Casegears clear acrylic shots but I can't make out the numbers. I don't know if you've seen this but here's a good shot of an AC Ryan with an XDN transformer

http://www.madshrimps.be/articles/ACRyanRyanPower2450WPSUReview-jmke-6500.jpg

[jonnyGURU]

Can't deep link MadShrimps. Have to link the review.

I actually reviewed an AC Ryan once, and never figured out who actually made it.

It looked pretty sloppy inside, and a rep from AC Ryan actually emailed me and told me that he was pretty surprised how bad the inside of my sample PSU looked. He told me he was going to send me another, but never did and never responded to any of my future emails regarding the matter. :(

[Makalu]

None of the SilenX units seem to have a UL number but this one here says "Manufactured by FSP" on the label.

http://www.bigbruin.com/reviews/silenxpsu/

[Oklahoma Wolf]

Some SilenX units aren't FSP... the ones that are seem to be an existing FSP model with a fan mod. Often the new fan proves inadequate for long term reliability. I'm not much a fan of theirs.

[Makalu]

eh well that was a dumb mod then. Ya'll probably already knew this but the I-star ATX style PD2's are Seventeam SSI 12v 2.91 EAJ's and the I-star PD3's are Seventeam 12v 2.2 series PAF's. I don't know about the other I-stars though.

[jonnyGURU]

Yeah.. I think CAD is trying to bogart a couple of those from his brother. ;)

[Makalu]

oh it'd be great to see how both of those do on the load tester and o-scope. The PD2's are extremely stable under a system load I know but always been curious about the PD3's...pretty unique dual-rail approach with the higher than normal current on 12v2...makes sense though.

[jonnyGURU]

Yeah... SevenTeam "rides the line" when it comes to split rails, etc.

It's as if they acknowledge the advantage of split and single rail and try to find a happy medium in the middle. Take the 1kW, for example. 18A, 18A, 18A..... 26A!!!

[CAD4466HK]

I'm fixing this server which has a Lexar{Jumpdrive company?}300w PSU.
The model# says it all: HEC-300ATX UL 112364:)

So if that 1kw AD unit is labeled like the PAF's (individual 12v rail limits are the same as the combined max continuous ratings) then it has 80amps on the 12v's lol I think that's the highest I've seen yet...i think the SSI/EPS guide says something about an 80amp limit (so far)....nothing about 2 complete sets of extra long connectors though ;)

NZXT is another one...the UL is E199529 (Casing Macron)

[madmat]

Odd, Rob at Techgage reviewed one of their newer PSU's a while ago and it was a topower. For some reason John at NZXT didn't want it put in the review who made it hough.

They always do that. That's why I like BUYING my review sampels. :D

Steve at Corsair begged me not to say Corsair made the HX520W and HX620W. :D Like that SECRET is going to be kept?!?! lol

[Oklahoma Wolf]

I've seen Topower made Macrons before, one in an ancient THG review. Will have to go see if I can find it again.

Edit - never mind... got my units mixed up. The THG unit I remembered was a Maxtron. Close but no cigar.

[Makalu]

Apparently the NZXT labeled units that they sell alone are Topower and the ones that they put in their cases are Casing Macron...not sure if this sorts out confusion or just adds more of it :rolleyes:

[Makalu]

I guess Raidmax has their own UL number thing going on. "Raidtronics Inc" E243838

[Slartibartfast]

LOL! Yeah, right. They begged me not to say the Corsair was built by Corsair! Whew! That's not right. :D Yeah... I meant Seasonic.

Oh noes don't tell thems our power supplieses are made by teh good peoplez!

Does anyone know who makes Silentmaxx PSU's?

[CAD4466HK]

Pulled another Lexar PSU:p
This one has DEER stamped on the chassis along with the infamous LC-250ATX model #:p UL# E 164554


I also pulled an old Mitac PSU out of a Presario 5710. See quite alot of these shit the bed:p model #X-200C UL# E 148001

Yeah. They pull brands out of their ass. They're also know as @-Power, Award and Powermore.

I've now added eJet.

I think some of A+GPB <=> Athena Power (http://www.athenapower.com/): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104123
Look at the pics above and here: http://www.aocusa.com/index.php?g=System&c=Power%20Supplies&sc=Power%20Supplies

I've seen them UL# E199901. Wasn't found at UL database.

Here's 3 of their 2003 420/480/500W reviews: http://www.fastlanehw.com/reviews.php?i=51

[Spectre]

The ole fake UL number...or someone misprinted. Athenatech's though have been runnign around with that c130643 number for a while now.

[Kab]

The "Athena Power" are different to Athenatech PSU's as the link above shows and there's many more of them produced as server grade. They do have a UL labelled but its too minute to distinguish accurately. The A+GPB-JGEs are marked as manufactured by them and the Athena's vice versa like here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.asp?Image=17%2D104%2D122%2D09%2Ejpg%2C17 %2D104%2D122%2D01%2EJPG%2C17%2D104%2D122%2D02%2EJP G%2C17%2D104%2D122%2D03%2EJPG%2C17%2D104%2D122%2D0 4%2EJPG%2C17%2D104%2D122%2D10%2Ejpg&CurImage=17%2D104%2D122%2D03%2EJPG&Description=Athena+Power+AP%2DP4ATX55FE+EPS12V+550 W+Power+Supply+%2D+Retail)

PDF link (http://www.mwave.com/mwave/specHR/pdf/BA19961.pdf)
They come in E-Machine, e-Monster, HP pavillion, Compaq Presario, as Ilssan, Bestec, Delta, Enhance, Samsung and others, as well as A+GPB-JGE and simply Athena Power.

I retrieved this from the google cache (http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:http://www.overclockers.co.nz/product/psu/epower.shtml):E-Power is the retail version of Topower. Topower is a major OEM power supply manufacturer who produces high quality power supplies for a number of high profile brands such as OCZ Technology, Athena Power, Globalwin, BeQuiet and Aerocool.So A+GPB-JGE = Athena Power <- Topower :D

There's Apex made by Solytech aswell: http://www.pcclub.com/product_details.cfm?itemno=A6213452#

Solytech units (http://www.pcclub.com/product_details.cfm?itemno=A6213453) stated as manufactured by Allied but UL says Solytech: UL lookup (http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/cgifind.new/LISEXT/1FRAME/srchres.html)

And Allied units with same UL: Solytech - http://www.pcclub.com/product_details.cfm?itemno=A6213451

All have UL#: E223918 which means different names but same manufacturer. Their labelling is freakin booths.

I know the 800w/1kw that look the same are Topower. They even have a topower part number on them.

As for Athena POwer/Athenatech....yeah had those miss wired this morning. I have posted the Athena Power/TOpower before...but lately they have had a UL number htat doesn't track. COuld be a misprint or not.

[Oklahoma Wolf]

OEM for Coolermaster Realpower is Acbel Polytech. Delta and Enhance both make their own units. Allied, Solytech, and L&C are all branches of Deer, who used to be a division of Foxconn (not sure about that part though).

The BFG units you mention are both Topower.

That would be interesting becuase Takane doesn't have any powersupplies with a UL listing only wiring harnesses. I would think Colormaster is still using Acbel like Oklohoma WOlf said.

[Kab]

Thanks guys. With the CoolerMaster I've had the model I linked, with its UL and did a lookup on OCD thats all. You're right they do wire harnesses which sounded weird but the home site of theirs I couldn't read until my browser is fixed (its crashing and extensions stopped working). Before this, I believed Acbel did but why is that UL on that product? (just look at pics to see it)

Unit evaluated by UL when it was in their possession?

[jonnyGURU]

Yeah. You gotta be careful with those UL numbers. Wires, wiring harnesses, PCB's, etc. all can have their own UL. But that doesn't tell you who actually assembled the PSU.

[CAD4466HK]

Question:confused:
I know this is a XG Vortec 700, were they made by San Hawk to begin with?
But now it's a Eagle Tech with a XG label that still says Vortec:wall:
UL E166826

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817193013

[jonnyGURU]

They weren't made by Sky Hawk before and they probably aren't made by them now.

MGE/XG went out of business.

Sky Hawk made most of their cases. They were probably owed the most money. They took over all of their inventory which I'm sure probably included a number of unassembled power supplies (typically when you have a PO to build PSU's you drop a few pallets of components down on the factory floor. Someone's got to put them together! :))

I believe once they sell through this stuff, we won't see MGE or XG again.

I love pic #5 on that page. What is that? 8 Molex and 2 floppy on one cable????

Yup ;) The other I saw had both PCIe on one cable. :o

Still a strong unit though and I have don't really know how.
