Manic Monday Bump.

Hey I have Abit IP-35E Motherboard(no warranty) with 2x1 GB Corsair Value Select RAM with lifetime warranty. Also have a Palit 8400GS 512MB graphics card, it is pretty basic, but I could run most DX9 games on it. PM me if you are interested.

Saturday Bump

Well the Coolermaster Extreme power 600W that I replaced with this Aurum 500W has lasted me more than 2 years, so this has to last longer than that. Found this Johny Guru review of a PSU based on FSP Aurum platform but with a Capxon load capacitor. They have called it a negative, but still...

It got delivered today afternoon and the packing was almost bulletproof! I got two bubblewrap sheets of approx 4 x 4 ft, the third one got damaged because of the multiple layers of packing tape on it. Once I got through the packing tape and bubblewrap, inside was 1-1.5 inch thermocol which was...

No, Xilenser is the fanless version. I remember seeing it listed on prime, but it is not listed there anymore. I ordered the FSP Aurum 500W from hardware.in and got a mail this evening that it is shipped, so far so good.

Love Nixie, but she mostly does short fun/discussion/news videos. For something more serious: http://www.youtube.com/user/metalx1000 (my fav for the scripting videos) http://www.youtube.com/user/TheLinuxFoundation/ http://www.youtube.com/user/Linux4UnMe...

Sunday Bump..

Yup, did the required googling on FSP Aurum 500W and found a few more reviews on it, all good. As for the ripple, it is still well within limits; we use industrial rated power supplies that have 60mVpp ripple ratings @24V so 70mVpp @12V on load for a commercial power supply is quite acceptable I...

thanks @terence_fdes how is hardware.in? Never shopped there before, but they have FSP Aurum 500W @4.5K, and the 80+ gold rating has me very interested. I am from Navi Mumbai, and already checked theitwares.com they have the S12-II 520W listed at 4.4K surprising price o_O if they are actually...

I have bought many books from infibeam, and only had one bad experience where they shipped a book very late. But that also got resolved after a few emails and I found them quite responsive on emails. But they take their own sweet time in shipping, just this tuesday I decided to make a test...

Infibeam. It is listed at Rs. 4284, applying amexonline coupon(15% off max 500) it comes to Rs. 3784. Not quite 3.7K but it is inclusive of shipping, theitdepot has it at 3.9K but with shipping. For a PSU that weighs about 1kg shipping to mumbai from chennai would make that deal not so...

Would the 520W PSu be justified without the HD7850? Currently I dont have the HD7850 so my load consumption would be 250-275W and a safe estimation of the average load would be 60% of full load(or lower?) = 150W(~30% of 520W). That would again fall on the lower side of the efficiency curve...

Any other suggestions or alternatives for better effeciency/cost balance ? @Crazy_Eddy what do you think? Would the 520W PSU bottleneck on my config? I had assumed it to be around the 50-60% mark of the load rating but I think you would be a better judge of that.

No probs buddy, thanks for your interest.

Thanks @terence_fdes I will upgrade to 7850 only if I find the i-GPU insufficient for gaming. And right now, that is a big "if"; I haven't done much gaming recently, and right now this i-GPU is doing well with anything I throw at it (Black Ops, GTA IV). I am confused by your statement about...
