Powersafe / VIP SMPS

Oodibaba · 26-08-2007, 02:09 PM

I want specifications(ratings of amps etc) of
VIP / powersafe 500watt SMPS
VIP / Powersafe 600watt SMPS

i have googled as well as searched digit but in vain

i wish to run two 8800 in SLI

dOm1naTOr · 26-08-2007, 02:48 PM

get Zeb 730 Diamond. Its proven much stable by CHIP mag. Its as stable as Antec Neo power or trio. And SLI sertified too

http://www.zebronics.net/zeb-730w-spec.asp

Oodibaba · 26-08-2007, 03:01 PM

i would prefer VIP or powersafe as they are VFM whereas Antech Zebronics etc are a rip off

Sylar · 26-08-2007, 03:10 PM

well if ur running 2 8800s in SLI you oughta get a PSU with much more stable rails .. And IMO the Powersafe/Vip ones aint that stable and are just single rail ones...
Spend a bit more and go for a Coolermaster Extreme Power 500 or 600W if ur on a budget, it'll do u good..

Look here for a tiered rating of the various PSUs and see where Zebronics stands... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=108088

dOm1naTOr · 26-08-2007, 04:35 PM

Its mentioning bout normal CM nd Zebronics PSU.
CM's Extreme Power and Zeb Diamond 730 is as stable as the Antec or OCZ.

Sylar · 26-08-2007, 05:13 PM

Dunno abt that, not had any personal experience with zebronics, so can't comment much either.. But the CM Extreme Power being a Seventeam OEM and considering Seventeam's reliability I personally would go with it any day if i need a budget PSU..

Btw Oodibaba hasn't stated which 8800s he's planning to use in SLI.. If its the GTX(

) then I'd recommend he not look at either Zebronics or CM Extreme Pwr and go for a Corsair HX or OCZ GameXstream instead(the money spent will be worth it).. If its the GTS then Zeb or CM would do..

gannu_rox · 26-08-2007, 05:16 PM

^^Agreed but I dont think u can go abt comparin the Zebbys n Xtreme power with tha premium ones such as Antecs, corsairs...

@oodibaba- I jus know dat the Powersafe 600W has dual 12v rails havin 22A..

even the power safe 300 watt smps has dual rails (13A and 9 A)

*********************************************
i wanted to know the ratings of VIP 500watt smps coz the coolermasters have 18Amps on each rail..so if VIPs have higher ratings then i would prefer those what say people

and people please consider i ve 4 hardisks running on raid 0 and 2 optical drives and 4 fans running

and ya forgot to mention powersafe VIP smps's have 3 year warranty

dOm1naTOr · 26-08-2007, 06:56 PM

@Oodibaba
ull need at least 650w PSU to support all dat loads.

As u gonna get da card from US, why not get the PSu also from there?

Yes i'm sure.. But just read that it is a Seventeam ST-500BKV one and gives a peak output of only 530W... Dunno y CM has relabelled it 600 though...

Are u sure? Coz according to this.. http://www.kunhar.com/vipcabinets/do...sion-chart.pdf even Powersafe 400W has a single rail.. So i doubt if 300W would be having dual, haven't seen the ratings of that yet though...

i agree... plus u haven't told us what processor you got.. considering you have a C2D you would need at least a min of 600W(if not more)..

See here for more info on choosing a PSU .. http://forum.ncix.com/forums/index.p...t=36&subpage=1 (got this thanks to Eazy@TE)...

Harvik780 · 26-08-2007, 11:01 PM

ooooff hoo,all u need is a true rated Corsair HX620w.It will be more than enough for ur need.It has 50amp of total current on the 12v rails and has two pci-express power connectors for SLI(theoretical output 900watt and real output 600watt).Its SLI certified and can support upto two 8800 GTX in SLI.Its efficiency is 85%.It costs Rs7,800 including tax and is available from tirupati enterprices.Close ur eyes and take it.For ur system this is what u need anything below just won't do justice.

Sylar · 27-08-2007, 12:11 AM

^^^ exactly wat i've been wanting to say from the beginning.. but everyone's after powersafes & vips here...!!! btw Harvik the HX 620's price has dropped a bit .. can be got for arnd 7k depending in which city u are...

Edit : @oodibaba here's the review to help u out.. http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_details.php?id=32

18A 12A 8A 13A 0.3A 2.5A

got E6750

dOm1naTOr · 27-08-2007, 12:14 AM

for calculating the required rating for PSU check out dis:

http://www.extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp

and use the power consumption calculator nd post the result also.

My power consumption at peak load is 610W according to da calculator.

Oodibaba · 28-08-2007, 02:02 PM

so powersafe is not a good brand ..hmmm

It is good, reputed and reliable INDIAN brand, but may be not SUIT to your requirements.

Man Powersafe @3500 while corsair is near by @7000/- or less, how can you expect same PERFORMANCE at 50% reduce rate with Powersafe.

Yes opt for corsair.It comes with 5 year warranty and can support excellent stability for extreme overclocking.It has modular cables which means u can add the cables u need and disconnect the ones u don't.I would also like to suggest u not to opt for other cheap components,get good quality ram(transend or kingston) and atleast a zebronics geforce cabinet or if u like to go for more i suggest Antec cabinets.

ramu · 29-08-2007, 09:31 PM

is corsair available with rashi peripherals

dOm1naTOr · 29-08-2007, 10:32 PM

@Harvik780
nowadays some kingston memories [DDR2 667] comes with Hynix chips in it. They are no gud. Sure they have quality, but u can't oc them or optimise the latencies, but all transcent modules carry jetram chips, so gud OC is guarenteed.
But Some Kingston memories are oc friendly.

I don't know about there overclockability but u will only reach their peak performance in dual channel mode with an FSB of 1600Mhz which is available with the new line of intel processors set to release this november(peryln i guess).

Even in my area no one had the corsair HX620W so i called tirupati Delhi office and told them about my area,they immediately gave me the phone number of the vendor in my area.I am giving u the number,use it,and rashi does not deal with power supplies.

Tirupati Delhi Number-
01132608570

Site-
http://www.tirupati.net/about.html

U don't have to bother where they are,just where their vendors are.

Edit:The numbers are not working now for Delhi and mumbai,for me,check it urself.

~Phenom~ · 19-09-2007, 04:06 AM

I know nothing about power supply/SMPS. I need a new one as old one seems to be damaged. I have D845GVSR and P4, 512 MB RAM,120 GB HDD , 17'' CRT monitor, 2600 watt speakers. Please suggest me a good power supply with all the specifications of power supply, I need to tell the vendor .

A regular Zebronics 400Watt which comes for Rs600 will be sufficient as u have an old pc.
I could not find the specs but it should suffice.

The PSU has nothing to do with monitor and speakers which are powered by AC.(Either UPS or mains)
