PSU Suggestion

[glowingstar]

Hello All, :)

I am about to build a new rig, this is what I choose for my new system:

M/B Gigabyte GA-P35-S3G
CPU Intel E7200 2.53Ghz 1066 3MB-Cache
RAM 4x1GB Kingston HyberX DDR2 1066 5-5-5-15 KHX8500D2K2/2G
GPU Palit 9600GT Sonic 512MB
SND Creative SB X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro 7.1
DVD Sony DRU-835A DVDRW
HDD Seagate 7200.10 400GB 16MB-Cache

Could you guys please suggest me a power supply, I first choose Antec NeoHE Blue 650Watts but some friend said that this
psu has compatibility issues with many motherboards and I should look for some thing else.

Could you guys suggest me something from Ewiz because this is where I am purchasing my rig.

I don't see Corsair PSU's there. Enermax Pro82+/Modu82+ 525? Or Gigabyte Odin Pro 550, Seasonic S12-II 500, Enhance ENS-0560G-G, Zalman ZM600-HP 600W, TT Toughpower 650.

That's the biggest problem with Ewiz that they don't have Corsair power supplies, that Enermax unit that you mention looks rock solid could you tell me about the quality of Enermax psu's?.

[...]could you tell me about the quality of Enermax psu's?.
Oh no, not again. :)
Before this series (Pro/Modu82+) they have a tendency to die after an year or so. Something in PFC design/components is fishy. In my country I don't know people with this problem (frankly I really know some people who run on Liberty for almost 2 years now) but I see a lot of complaints on other forums.
But this series are redesigned and have good quality components. Personally I have high expectation from them, but only time will tell.
that Enermax unit that you mention looks rock solid
Yep, it looks rock solid, but to quote (http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showpost.php?p=39636&postcount=2) from jonny
Oh well, same story: it reviews well.
Anyway about reviews, indeed it looks excellent.

Get the Enermax, make a contribution to the forum as a guinea pig of Enermax new PSU line, and report back around a year later. :p

Regardless of what PSU you get.... why do you HAVE TO buy everything from eWiz?

Where you save on some parts, these etailers make up on others. That's how places like WalMart make money.

Gigabyte Odin Pro 550 Watt for $106 (http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=PS-GEM550A)

that is a damn good price

Thanks for the links, by the way beside those good reviews have you seen people on forums with issues with these Enermax units?.

Nope, don't have extra ca$h to blow.

Hello Power Supply Guru, :)
Well it will be an international order and that's why I wanted to order everything from one place but if I fail to choose a psu at eWiz then I will look else where.
By they way could you tell me what will happen if I failed to load balance equally on a multi rail power supply, will it create problems? and is there any drawback of modular psu's?.

How do you know, do you have experience with this psu unit?.

Jonny reviewed the GT (http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&file=print&reid=61) version here.

Those PSU's have about one month or two since they hit the market. A very short times for issues.
How do you know, do you have experience with this psu unit?.
Just look at jonny's review (http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=61) or SKYMTL's review (http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/1920-gigabyte-odin-gt-550w-power-supply-review.html).

[glowingstar]

Jonny gave it nice score, must be a good product, does modular has any drawbacks?.

[burebista]

[...]does modular has any drawbacks?.
Nope (http://www.motherboards.org/articles/guides/1488_1.html).

[Smirnoff]

I've never had any complaints about the modular PSUs myself (my HX620 is exemplary), so those saying it's all doom and gloom... Don't get it myself.

[spursindonesia]

Modular ? Usually (a bit) more expensive compared to its vanilla cousin. ;)
