levicom 550W PSU?
 

Check this baby out. Fancy looks, 550W, and very reasonably priced at 85 euro. It even has a dedicated S-ATA dongle!

Has anyone seen a review of this puppy? Can't find any with google.

globalwin also has a 550W PSU out, also with SATA power connectors, pretty flashy:

I just need reviews, because I've been looking at that levicom also...

what do you look for in such a "review" ?

the fact that I barely trust a 400+W PSU under 100€ let alone one of 500+W

And the EMI of one of those has got to be horrible.

afaik the EMI would be determined by a global organisation, and no company can release a product without a valid certification of compliance...

rails that withstand exreme strain is what I look for,
for as far as this can be tested

My QTek 550W costed €55. It has a very stable 5 & 12V line and except of the lack of a power switch on the back i can't find anyting wrong with it.

what would be a "acceptable" way to do this?

the P4 stresses the 12v

My Q-Tek 550W's 12V line sucks atm, when vcore is about 1,9V, my 12 V line drops to about 11,51:grum:

12V: 11.95V idle and 11.75V stressed. Not great, but not bad either.
5V: 4.97V stable.

my 550W antec's 12v line always stays around 11.80V; idle, stressed, high or low v-core, no difference

mine 300w zalman iz always 12.20 - 11.92 i think...hmm what,?

i cannot even boot with a 300 watt due to all the maount of power leeched by my hardware (especially the pelt)

I have dual PSU
works fine, maybe an idea ?

but everything works aok with my 520 watt superflower, and there ain't no place in my case for anything
I'm just looking for a flashy psu to put into a future fun-case

Enermax 600+W should suit your needs.

Enermax is known to sport low 5v rails

my enermax 350W gives me an average of 4.94V on the 5V rail ... not too shabby, considering what it's feeding

dunno, but I'll stick with my sf-520, considering I see that every single unit can differ a bit, as with all hardware...the rails aren't that bad...
but I'd like a shiny one to put into my future windowcase

my enermax 350w had 4.73v when used with an XP1700+@1800 - 1.8v vcore... and that was at 0% CPU usage.. when 100% came.. it dropped to 4.68V :/



old aopen 300w had 5.15v in the same condition :)

Hmm, all I know is that zalman PSU's have a very strong 12V line, their 5V-3.3V line was a bit weaker, but still very good.

And shouldn't CPU voltage be derived from the 12V line?

p4 -> 12v
amd -> 5v
