Acbel 550W PSU API5PC04:Promising?

[PsyNidE]

Well looks can sometimes be deceiving but what do you guys think of this PSU by AcBeL?Anyone currently using it?Any possible reviews in the future with regards to this PSU?PSU comes with 5years warranty well @ least in Singapore. It will certainly be a peace of mind if the PSU is performing as good as it looks with the LCD monitoring panel included.

AcBel is very good quality - I see no reason not to buy it based on that. However, the combined 12v limit is 35A... you may not want to run Crossfire or SLI 8800's on this one.

thankx 4 da reply but I don't get how you derived to the answer of 35A for the combined 12V limit.

420W max for 12V rails, so 35A.

Power = Current * Voltage

ah ic .. lost touch with all this calculations. if that's da case Antec Trio 550W should be better since max load for its 12V rails is 42A.However Antec Trio don't seem to perform that excellent in Jonnyguru's review about it.

I like AcBel's units better than low end Seasonic like the Truepower Trio. High end Seasonic like the Corsair units or PC P&C Silencers would be another story though.

Depending on where you are located (asia?), you may be able to get your hands on a Seventeam unit.

You won't be disapointed.

Seventeam PSUs are good as far as I know.Abundently available in Singapore

Too busy to look up specs, but isn't that the same as the Asus Atlas 550W or the Cooler Master Real Power 550W?

The Real Power 550W has only 30A available on the +12V lines. Different ratings on the individual lines as well.
