Which PSU should I pick ?

[sebastian_]

Hi, I need to choose psu for my computer, I would really like to hear your opinions so help me to choose one of the psu's that I'm considering to buy.
Which one of these 2 PSU's is better?

Fortron 460W FSP460-60HCN or Aerocool VP-450 450W ?
I know that this fortron is quite better when it comes to power- stroner 12v line from what I heard
but on the other hand it got only 1 molex and aerocool got 4. Is it fine to use splitter for that one molex and
then power with it HDD and dvd drive ?

Currently psu will be powering x1950pro.
Which one should I pick ?


Thanks.

They are about the same, I would go with the Aerocool, But Its more down to pricing, Get the cheapest one

you'll be fine splitting that molex between the hd and dvd.

They are both basicly the same, Get whichever one is the cheapest for you, Otherwise it doesnt really matter. Although Aerocool will be better.

The FSP is better but not by much, the Aerocool is made by andyson(also makes Raidmax) and are one of the biggest garbage PSU manufactures around. Here's a video you should watch before buying a cheap(budget) PSU.

Buy running either(especialy the aerocool) you risk damaging the system.

Hi - Of the two (both suspect), the FSP is a safer bet. I wouldn't consider anything mfg by
Andysson. FSP at least puts out a lot of average quality units, altho this falls into the
below avg category, It is still a better bet than the aerocool.

Thank you all for great response, I will take all opinions into consideration.
I will also think about maybe changing my decision and going for something better when it comes to PSU.

At the moment I'm thinking about 2 options :

Option 1. (Budget Option)
Stay with the idea and pick one of the psu's that I was thinking about first which means Fortron 460W FSP460-60HCN or Aerocool VP-450 450W
and then I think I'm gonna pick Fortron 460W FSP460-60HCN and use molex splitter.

Option 2.
Go for something better when it comes to PSU and then pick : Corsair VS 450W EU version CP-9020049-EU or XFX ATX Core 450W 120mm 80+
When it comes to those 2 I think I will pick xfx but maybe you guys would also like to share opinion about them.

Thank you all for answers, I've made also a little research on my own and I've made my decision.
I'm going for Option 1 - I'm gonna pick Fortron 460W FSP460-60HCN and use molex splitter.


Thanks again.
