Cause im gonna get one of these to go with my TT xaser3 case, and i dont wanna run out of juice. Preferably i would like the 480 but am not sure.

depends who you ask. Some people say the are great, others write them off because there heatsinks are pathetic. Which is unfair, but whatever. I personally use a Thermaltake PSU and have had steadier rails than I did with my antec, and my antec had more wattage.

[Jacobman]

ok cool, but would i be fine with the 480 watt?

[dicecca112]

yeah if your not running an 8+ fans and 4+ optical drive. Yeah, I run my rig with a 410 and have not problems.

I haven't heard anything bad about thermaltake's 480 and 560 power supply's, the 560 has dual native serialata power connects and they both got active pfc, so you should be fine with either of those.

[Jacobman]

i think i am going to get the 480 watt though. Or what is active pfc?

I have used the 480 in my main comp for the past 8 months and never had any problems with it. When I first got it and tossed the POS psu I used to have I was able to get more out of my 2800 barton :cool: So i just bought another for my new comp and no problems yet.
