Antec Power Supply

DodgeViper · Jan 1, 2002

Anybody using the Antec PP-412X on there AMD 1.4 processor? I am thinking of buying the Antec SOHO SX1030 case with the PP-412X power supply. Been to AMD's website and they do not have this P/S listed. They do have the PP-403X as recomeded for the AMD 1.4.

Works fine and is an excellent PSU. Can't promise that you're 5V won't be on the low side (really depends on the motherboard you get) but mine has been perfectly stable. 300W, 350W and 400W have all serviced well for me.

Love anything Antec.

I just went to their site and found the PP-412X. It's not much different than the 403 other than a few more amps on the +12V O/P. The big boast is that it is PIV compliant, whatever that is supposed to mean.

question.

i need a new PSU rather badly atm.

i can get a antec 400w pp-412X intown for $80+tax right now.

Or i can get a 431w enermax off newegg for $80-90+shipping...

The $10 isnt what i realy care about, thats no problem.

but which would be better. And would i need the extra 31w from the enermax?

i'm gonna need it to power

here ist a good review
from Antec 400 Watt

Hoot · Jan 2, 2002

Either one will meet your needs. I'd say go with the least expensive.

Both the Antec case and the Enermax case are from the same company. The Antec comes with a 400 watt Antec P/S ($127.00) and the Enermax comes with a 330 watt dual fan Enermax P/S ($99.00).

Leaning towards the Antec.

Jon - Is the Antec PSU quiet? Compared to Enermax ones?

If you're having problems with your current power supply maybe reducing your sig will cut your power consumption.

eobard, why does this bother you? I have it this way to help others. When I first got into O/C I had a lot of questions and wanted answers.

1) It's largely superfluous. It may be relavent in some posts but not in all. If people need to see full detail of what you have here's a good suggestion on how to inform them:

I have had all my specs on my website: it takes a page per computer to list them decently. For me, that is 6 pages! We, as regular members are not allowed to include a url in our sig- thats fine! Put your url in your profile and then anyone who chooses can go look at everything.

2) It chews up bandwidth un-necessicarily. If you reply three time in a single thread your sig goes up three times in that thread, even if the thread is about fixing your memory timings or something like that that's two times too many and people with 56K will be waiting all day just to read a few lines of text because...

3) You aren't the only one doing it. One person would not drag down the system even if they had 100 lines in their sig. But if 50 (out of 12,000) people regularly post with 20+ lines in their sig's each, and they all post in many threads, and more than once in each thread, then the problem becomes exponential.

I am using the Antec SX840 case with the Antec PP412X and have not had any problems.

Running a XP1800+ @ 145X11.5 with default voltage on Soyo Dragon Plus mobo.

Fan is running at about 2500+ and is very quite. Of course, I am old and can't hear well.

PIV compliant is Pentium 4 complaint! Sorry if I sound cocky I just wanted to have my say! :beer:

Hoot · Jan 4, 2002

That much I understood. Not being an Intel man, I did not understand was what P4 compliant implied, as opposed to non-P4 compliant.

P4 require an extra motherboard connector with four lines. It can be done with an adapter from a standard 4 pin, but most just have the extra lines now.

eobard · Jan 5, 2002

You don't happen to know why it needs those extra lines do you? It's still the same voltages coming from the same psu so why a seperate connector?
