and once again i am not gettin this psu for its appearance, rather its appealing looks is a plus but as i said again a board member who owns it recommended it for me....thanks for ur help, i appreciate it ;)
 
A power supply for what? And what range 40 bucks :eek: ?

And no don't buy the unknown Rosewill.
 
i have that rosewill psu, the 12v rail is GREAT! never dips lower then 12.1v on the 12v rail under load, and my vcore never drops. the 3.3v rail is weak, under load it is around 3.14v, but its still a solid psu. it was worth the 50 bucks when i bought it, and it hasnt been a bad psu yet.

Wow that is a great review! Did ya get those readings from MBM5 or your BIOS? How is the ripple on that PSU? How does it handle various loads on the 3.3v, 5v, 12v? How much does it derate under temp? How well does it handle peak draw?

OK after reading your other thread I am confused. You have a replacement already and people already gave you the best advice. RMA the 380. That is one of the few good ones in your price range.

And I am trying to help.....so I read up on your situation and was confused. For your price range the Antec 380 or the Fortron 350 are going to be about the best unless there is a killer deal out there that I am missing.
 
you know..ur 380s will rape the rosewill like there's no tomorrow...get that thing rma'd if ya still can..if not..for a 50 dollars range..get this..

Was that english? ;)

I just picked up 3 of these PSU's...dual 12v rails, good brand, nice and quiet...how can you go wrong?

ENERMAX Noisetaker EG375P-VE-SFMA 370W Power Supply $50.99 Shipped
 
ah thanks for the replies guys....looks like im gonna get the fortron :D
 
Dude, I would grab at that noisetaker if I were you its at $44 dollars. Its a good brand too. I'm not saying the fortron isn't (i have one), but thats a better deal.
