PC Peripherals Anyone using iball 450 Watt SMPS?

[andysmith45]

I need to know the ampere rating on the +12V rail. On Mercury 450 W, it is 17A.

My new system rig will be:

1. Athlon64 3000+
2. Gigabyte K8N51GMF-9 OR Asus A8N-E
3. 512 MB DDR400 RAM (512 MB extra will be added in 3-4 months)
4. Seagate 200GB SATA 1 HDD (7200 rpm)
5. XFX Geforce 6600 PCI-e (256 MB)
6. BenQ DW-1640 DVD Writer
7. Creative Audigy2 ZS

Will this be enough. I can't find a better smps in my city, so I have no choice.

Rs. 600 for mercury. I asked my dealer to look around for iball 450W. iball 400W has 17 ampere on the 12V rail

All those are inflated ratings! Better get a name brand psu.... atleast a powersafe. If you cant get anything else, use ur credit card and get a smart power 350 from theitdepot.com.

Yup, like chaos said, i dont think those are the actual ratings for that 600Rs SMPS.. Try for a better brand one like Powersafe or VIP or even Priya..

I think the cheapest of the lot suggested above is the Priya 400W which costs around 1000 Rs..

Is there anyway I can order powersafe or priya psu online?

Go for Cooler Master eXtreme Power 430W Power Supply available for around Rs. 2800/-, really good for Gaming and in terms of Motherboard don't go for this Gigabyte Board, it's having stability problems and lacks performance. ASUS A8N-E will be a much better choice, or else you can try the MSI K8NGM2-IL Motherboard available for around Rs. 4500/- in New Delhi.

Hm.. if the 24pin ATX2.0 version is available, thats a good deal.

There is no iball 450W available in my place. I will be going with mercury for the time being. As long as my components don't get damage, I guess its ok.

Currently, I am using Frontech 300W smps (14A on the +12V rail) and my components haven't got damaged yet. AthlonXP 2000+, MSI KM2M combo (VIA 266), 256 MB DDR266, Seagate 80GB IDE(7200 rpm), LG DVD combo, CD-ROM Drive, Logitech Quickcam Express, MSI MX440SE(64 MB).

I will be getting Asus A8N-E mobo cause there is nothing else available except for a couple of MSI ones.
