does anyone know who makes the Sunbeam Hush? i have been looking a tit for along time and the reviews on newegg are kinda mixed so i was hoping that someone knows the OEM

CDdude55 · Dec 23, 2008

Isn't the company Sunbeam?

You should still aim higher.

no idea who makes them but i think the lowest i will go is a Antec or Silverstone but does HEC make a decent PSU? it will be powering a 5kBE and a 8600GTS for folding 24/7 and light gaming from time to time

I don't mess with MIR it still would take me over budget if i was to get something like that. I would keep using my Antec Smart power 300w but i took the top off to clean it and replace the fan because it was pissing me off. I saw that there were budging caps so i want to replace is before they blow.

Thats looks good, Antec is a more reliable company then the rest of the lower end companies listed.

And the reviews look good, so i don't see why not.

Just don't OC to high with the lower wattage PSU's, but i think it could handle those clocks, and if not just lower them till they get stable.

I am starting to consider just putting a 8600GTS or a 8800GS/9600GSO in my main rig and fold on both cards and not worry about the other rig right now then when i get more money get a better PSU for the 2nd rig. Will my Silverstone Zeus power a 8800GT and a 8600GTS or8800GS/9600GSO?

Yep, 650w should be enough for those cards, as long as it has the connectors for both cards available.

Sparkles are FSP. Decent all around psus. Not top end, but fairly reliable.

JrRacinFan · Dec 24, 2008

Here's a Youngyear (not horrible just a notch under FSP quality) built...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817255010

... too bad it's OoS.

I've had this exact same model for 2 years still going strong. Same one that pushed my Cellie 347 to 5Ghz, has ran an 8600GT and the 2 2600's.

EDIT: Oh also ran it as an AUX psu for my 3870 alone as a test.

Gilletter · Dec 24, 2008

awesome read panchoman... lots of info :toast:

Damn I had no idea they were rebranded FSP's,

but I will probably stick with Xigmatek

Xigmatek's are Channellwell built.

Figured I pass that along.

Yea, I know they are Channellwell's, pretty damn good too. Inexpensive and I think they carry lifetime warranty but I don't remember.

Limited lifetime but they are really nice.
