... 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.

thanks but i am just going to use the 8600GTS in my main rig and buy a better PSU for the 2nd rig. Till then its going to sit in my closet

I highly suggest this bad boy

$119 if you don't wanna use rebates for 950W, 90A, and modular cabling. When I seen that thing my eyes lit up, like christmas came early. And I've had mine for about 2 months haven't had an issue yet, 5 egg rating from others too so good sign.

FordGT90Concept · Jan 5, 2009

Coolmax makes some great PSUs. I got a cheap ($60) 400w and it has been running over a year now without problems.

Enermax is excellent. I bought 3 x 620w Liberty's almost two years ago and not a one is having problems.

Aerocool - Had a 520w, died just outside of the one-year warranty. It did not take any other components with it. Will never buy again.

Sparkle Power - Systemax used these several years back. I've seen 250w, 300w, and 400w models. None have failed after many years (three+) of use.

Athena Power - MSI puts these in their barebone kits. They are no-frills like Sparkle but I have yet to see one fail.

Silverstone - Good overall but haven't had one for long...

Those are all the brands I can recall...

p_o_s_pc · Jan 5, 2009

i would just like to say that my Silverstone is still running strong. looks like i finally get a PSU that is decent

Pretty much. I am beleiving there was a short near his IO plate or standoffs/spacers.

you may want to add xigmatek to the good powersupply makers list, they make nice units. for powersupplies i usually check reviews at jonnyguru.com, good site and articles, the reviewer is nice too!
and i see the list lacks of lots of new models form lots of makers

Yup already aware, made by Channelwell, other companies who use that OEM are Tt, Zalman, OCZ and you guess it Corsair.

CDdude55 · Jan 5, 2009

OCZ is awesome, very quiet and reliable.

I really want to try a Corsair PSU, people love'em.

apheX? · Jan 5, 2009

I love the sound of the Enermax Revolution 85+ but release date is unknown :ohwell:

I love my corsair PSU, the cable management inside my case is quite nice, although the fluffy bag thing it comes in is quite silly.

Flyordie · Jan 5, 2009

Well, ima put this EA380 under a higher workload next week... and I don't intend on overclocking under this PSU... just stock on the CPU.
AMD Phenom X4 9750 125W (got it BNIB for $112.99 with a special promo code for AMD fans.. ;-) )
2x1GB DDR-800 Corsair XMS2
HD4850 @ 675Mhz
2x SATA HDDs (only 1 has the OS/Games, other is file storage so its off 90% of the time)
1x 120mm Fan

So ya'll think it will handle it? lol

crazy pyro · Jan 5, 2009

Since the box for a 4850 says 450 is the minimum your PSU may get fubared, not sure though.

Well, it runs my current rig fine..
EA380 is
330W 24/7 Max @ 60C on the 12V Rails
and when using everything that uses the 12V rail on this PC this is what the 12V rail looks like...
Thats with GPU, CPU and HDDs copying to and from...

it was the IO plate... The case was bent up bad there that i didn't notice till i looked close. I bent everything as close to normal as i could and everything has been just fine with it

Have had no trouble with my OCZ Stealthxstream, its been extremely quiet and have been using it for about a year and a half.(for just straight gaming and web browsing) :rockout:

i think it was like 5 or 6 PSUs that died in about a year with that case :eek:

It has very poor CPU and VGA listing .

I am unable to find P4 socket 478 and AGP cards listed.

thats because those parts are so old they are unsupported by the companies that made them
