PSU Roundup: Mega Power in xATX style!

jmke · 7th February 2005, 12:21

Clean and steady power is what our computers crave, almost like we humans need clean and abundant air. Sure we can live in a polluted environment, but our health will suffer, and our tolerance to exercise will be lessened. To the point, when overclocking our precious PCs, a high quality power supply is paramount in maintaining and pushing performance. Today we are looking at some of the finest power supplies we have ever had the joy to work with.

where can you get these badboys in Belgium ?

Thanks!
As far as Belgium goes, I'm not sure. I believe Silverstone has EU distributers and Zippy should as well.

I sent emails to Zippy and Silverstone, lets see what they say OK!
thanks

Silverstone looks identical to my Enhance 460 W
look at
pictures
i wonder what Silverstone changed besides sticker with more Watts

Looks the same. Someone emailed me that Enhance makes the PS for Silverstone, I have not recieved comment from Silverstone, however this is nothing new! OCZ doesn't make their own units, they contract the work out to meet certain specs. As long as the units run correct and the company stands behind them, I'm ok

most computerparts aren't produced by the company on the label...

i'd say only 20% makes their own stuff, the rest is contracted out to specialised manufacturers...

Silverstone are fairly plentiful here in UK but Zippy not at all.

Have just emailed Zippy earlier today asking for outlets/stockists. The Zippy PSL-6701P 700W was recomended by Oklahoma Wolf in Which has best Beefy PSU -
yesterday so finding this review & seeing Ben805's findings has been great.

Shortlist is now:-
1) Zippy PSL-6701P 700W
2) Enermax Coolergiant 660W EG851AX-VH
3) Silverstone Zeus ST56ZF 560W

Single rail certainly saves the trouble of researching 4 rail 12v rigs & testing that no rails are likely to be overloaded.

Thanks JNav89GT
