SMPS Replacement

Charan · 01-09-2009, 03:35 PM

We have a C2Q6600 based computer which we run as a server (Windows 2008), We need to replace the SMPS on it. a 400-500W SMPS should do. Can any one recommend me a good SMPS for system stability. budget 2-3K

rhitwick · 01-09-2009, 03:49 PM

I would say CoolerMaster ExtremePower 500W....

Get corsair cx400 or seasonic 380w minimum costs rs 3k to 3.2k
if you would the give full config we can advice better

hell_storm2006 · 01-09-2009, 10:25 PM

Extreme Power would be a problem! Stick with corsair! Probably the best PSU brand around! Do you have a GPU? If yes, which one?

Charan · 02-09-2009, 02:14 PM

Here is the system config.
Intel C2Q 6600
Intel GD45ID - Motherboard
4 GB RAM
17" Dell Monitor
Two Segate 250 GB SATA HDD
USB Modem (Teltonika G10) (Always connected)
Mercury 400W SMPS.

The server is connected to our main 3KVA UPS which give backup of minimum 2 hrs for 5 PC's

Go for only Corsair 400W Power Supply (CX400W) only.

damngoodman999 · 02-09-2009, 05:12 PM

Corsair CX400

hell_storm2006 · 02-09-2009, 07:43 PM

You don't have a GPU?

Charan · 02-09-2009, 08:32 PM

^^ No.

I will check out the price of Corsair CX400.

I don't think will not need anything greater than 250W
Intel C2Q 6600 - 110W
Intel GD45ID - Motherboard - 30W
4 GB RAM - 20W
Two Segate 250 GB SATA HDD - 20W
USB Modem (Teltonika G10) (Always connected) - 10W

hell_storm2006 · 03-09-2009, 03:54 PM

But the thing is there is no model available for 250W usage from the reliable brands!

03-09-2009, 05:30 PM

why is it that local models are cheaper at .5k while others are @ 2-3k?
i can understand tat they r branded but why this much huge difference?
is tthere anything special?

**Krow** · 03-09-2009, 05:44 PM

^They are low quality and unreliable.

@ OP - Gigabyte 460W @ 2.5-3k also seems to be good. I saw the price on lynx.

ADDED : http://www.lynx-india.com/beta/index...byte-460w-smps

Its 2.2k!!!

Charan · 03-09-2009, 07:01 PM

Thanks for the updates guys. I will purchase a Corsair CX400.

@Mods , please close this thread.

Its probably because the costly ones are imported maal .

hell_storm2006 · 04-09-2009, 10:18 AM

The capacitors Japanese solid state capacitors, not the Chinese one's local one's use, which last a lot longer than the Chinese one's, hence they are reliable and safe! Plus, better build quality!

acewin · 04-09-2009, 11:51 AM

but anyhow there is someone who is not good maths, and has lesser understanding of cheap, and decent price, you cannot just say that being imported they are costlier.

zebronics is also a local brand and manufactures good quality product and is priced compared to those imported products.

@bigdaddy486, as hell_storm said, good electronic components used, add to it better warranty than local products which offer max of 6 months, and infact their warranty is no good warranty. whereas good PSU brands give you a minimum of 3 year of warranty. and some giving 5 year
