April 15, 200917 yr Intersting link: http://www.80plus.org/manu/psu/psu_detail.aspx?id=0&type=2 you can play about with that and find PSUs that are super efficient and many I dont believe have been discussed here before. It would be nice to find a 750W Gold rated. I used this list to buy a small PSU for my HTPC i could find no real reviews on but had been benchmarked here. Saved an absolute fortune and the thing is whisper quiet (HDD noisier by far)
April 15, 200917 yr i'm using this in my current setup i see if i notice any large increase in my bill over the next month i just started building up my unraid box http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182160
April 15, 200917 yr Author Yeah I wouldnt buy a PSU that wasnt Bronze certified at least now..... but we so want a single Rail Gold
April 15, 200917 yr I found the following three 750W gold rated supplies on that site: Sea Sonic Electronics Co., Ltd. - SS-750KM, ATX12V & EPS12V, 750W, 90.25%, Gold Channel Well Technology Co. - DSG750V, ATX12V, 750W, 90.22%, Gold Thermaltake - W0350 TP-750AH3NCS, ATX12V, 750W, 90.22%, Gold
April 15, 200917 yr Anandtech has done a huge roundup of current 300-400w and 500-550w power supplies. The 10%, 20%, and 50% efficiencies are interesting to look at. http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3487&p=39 http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3516&p=28
April 15, 200917 yr I'm thinkin about getting another one of the Rosewill's this thing is so quite. it's crazy.
April 16, 200917 yr Yes you're being very foolish trusting your setup with that Rosewill. I highly recommend replacing it with something a bit more recommended and.... reliable lol. Don't sacrifice reliability for something like getting your setup quieter or cheaper. You won't be crying if you hear a barely audible hum off in the corner of your room or closet... but you will be if that thing dies and takes out several hard drives and whatever other components it wants to with it. Here is a fantastic run down of current PSU's: http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx . He updates the list pretty regularly too.
April 16, 200917 yr that would suck if it were to go out i'll have to use it for the moment wife won't approve getting another one so soon after doing a whole house rebuild hopefully the rosewill does the job
