Firstly, I'm new here so hello for the first time!
I'm going to buy a new rig soon and I'm having some trouble on deciding which PSU to take. I live in South Africa so I don't have many choices. I want a PSU that'll last me many many years!
New rig will include:
C2D E6420 with a small overclock with stock fan
Asus P5N-E Sli Motherboard
2 x Super Talent 1GB DDR2 800MHz CL4
Geforce 8800GTS 640MB
2 x DVD-RW
1 x IDE HDD, 2 x SATA HDD
So most power will be drained on the 12V rails, but I want a good quality powersupply (within my budget), not just one with adequate power.
Choice1:
Translated page of the Huntkey 650W Titan PSU (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=www.everg.co.jp%2Fweb1%2Fweb1contents% 2FSK5P.html&langpair=ja%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools) <-- check the second tab for the specs. 4 12V rails with total of 485W combined (40A!!)
Choice2:
Sexy silent Zalman ZM460B (http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=194&code=015) Combined 12V amperage = 34A.
The zalman is more expensive than the Huntkey. Which has the better components which will last me longer?
Huntkey/Ever Green is supposed to be based on SHENZHEN CHI YUAN INDUSTRIAL CO LTD while Zalman PSUs are based on FSP-group inc. (according to http://www.jonnyguru.com/SMPS_UL.htm)
Has anybody experienced either 2 of the PSUs?
Which is more likely to be more silent?
Which will last longer in the long run?
Any input welcome!
Thanks :)
