Psu

Some folks on another board are dogging my PSU selection.

Rosewill RV300 ATX 300W Power Supply 115/230 V CE, cUL, CSA, CB, TUV, FCC, NEMKO, DEMKO, SEMKO, TC


Does anyone here know much about Rosewill PSU's?

Would any of these be better?

Yeah, after speaking to Asus tech support, I have determined that the mobo needs:
+3.3v/28a
+5v/30a
+12v/18-20a

The PSU that I have does not meet the 18a on the +12v. Nor do two of the three I posted above.

The only one that does is the CoolMax. The price is in my range. Is this an OK brand? Computer Shopper used a CoolMax case/PSU in a "build a great system for $500" issue.

Personally, I've had nothing but good results w/ Coolmax but others think they're :crap ..... If you had another $10-$15 in your budget, you could step up to stronger PSU. Several good brands: Seasonic, Vantec, Thermaltake. I've never heard of Rosewill; sounds like a budget Taiwan company

BTW- 300w is too small regardless of the amps.... I'd never go below 375w or 400w, even on low-consumption non gaming PC's....

 

All three PSU's you linked are pure :crap
Coolmax = :crap
Generally you get what you pay for and many times Less:major

On a tight Budget?:cry

The PSU is the Heart of your system, not a good place to Skimp!

I'd suggest upping your PSU budget

 

LoL nice :crap s
