I just bought a Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500 W for Rs 3200/- and the dealer told me that the warranty is for one year. I would like to know if this is true.
PC Peripherals What's the warranty on Cooler Master psu?

NO , I have same PSU and dealer quoted warranty for 3 years .
But If you have not opened the box yet , do consider Tagan 500W PSU ... CM Extreme series is not good at all ...

Yes, much better to go for a Tagan or a Corsair VX450

hyeah:U got ripped 
Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500W comes in 2 flavors .. OEM (is generally removed 4m a cabby n sold seperately) n boxed .. OEM, with 1yr warranty, costs 2.6K n boxed, with 3 yrs warranty is for abt 2.8K.
But I'd get the VX450 or atleast the CX400 for 3K .. if not the seasonics.
Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500W is only 70% efficient with MAX 30A on the 12V rail .. I doubt it'll ever give that :cool2:
Both the CX400 n the Seasonic 430W are much better .. then comes Tagan TG-U37 500W but at 3K, nothing beats the CX400hyeah:

And if your PSU's model number is "RS-500-PCAR-A3" then it doesn't even have passive PFC !! mine is same too 
should have known this things before wasting my 3000Rs ...

Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus is a 500 W power supply that is being sold for only USD 40 at Newegg.com (USD 30 after a USD 10 mail-in rebate). Can it really deliver its labeled power?

^^ did U check the ripples n the noise :O
And the review clearly states that the efficiency is above 80% only when you pull between 40% and 60% load (between 200 W and 300 W) ... So its pretty decent if U need a PSU to handle 300Watts max :cool2:
I myself have used CM EPP in a friends C2D n 9600GT based PC ... but I wished I could convince him to add another Rs.500 n get the CX400hyeah:

hyeah:Well, I always thought that Cooler Master was a good brand. The good news is that I haven't open the box. So if the dealer have the Tagan TG-U37 500W or the CX400, I will be able to exchange.
