Fortron FX700-GLN 700W All-In-One Power Supply

Power Supplies are easily the most underrated system component there is. Most users tend to look at one thing only when considering a new power supply....wattage. While wattage is important, the amperage, more specifically the 12V rail amperage, is the most important thing to consideration when picking a new power supply. Overall wattage, and 12V rails aside, another often overlooked aspect of power supplies is the amount of connectors a power supply features.

WOW, that is one hell of a PSU! :shock:
Thanks for the review Capper :thup:

thats an awesome psu but 700watts is alot of power. If i ever need a new psu i'd prolly get a 550-600watt one.

wow :!: that's a dream PSU :shock: nice review too. it also goes well with your high end rig rich :P

Dream psu? I thought the PC P&C 1KW was the dream psu.... :D

**simple_inhibition** · April 14th, 2006

1KW is overkill! lol very nice review capper!

**Capper** · April 14th, 2006

thanks guys. PC Power & Cooling makes great PSUs, but they quite simply are not worth the money. I wouldn't recommend more than $200 for a PSU to anyone, with the $175 this one costs about the max

**gvblake22** · April 14th, 2006

I also agree, 1KW is just overkill no matter how you slice it. I think I would take the FSP 700W Epsilon over the 1KW PCP&C actually...

Tyreal · April 14th, 2006

:O

If they were both offered to me for free... i would certainly take the PC Power and Cooling.
