Hello,
I am looking to get a psu for the system in my sig. Im looking for blue and see newegg has some. I dont overclock much, but trust all of the input here. Thanks a ton guys!
 
Fortron 350 Aurora would get my vote in this case... nice blue led 120mm fan :)
 
Generally its good to have at least 400 watts

get a 400 or 430 watt antec & you'll be good
 
yes, that is true. i had a 480 and it was great. there will always be problems with the major/popular brands and this includes antec. even corsair ships out bad memory time to time but that doesn't change the fact they are a great brand imo.
 
u can always get the cheaper model, then replace it w/ a blue 12 cm fan with more cfm's
the 12 cm blue fortron is a waste of money when u can install a blue led fan urself...

Agreed.
Paying over 50% more just for a blue LED fan is a bit
silly if you ask me.

So far I have three Fortron PSU and am extremely
impressed with all of them. :)

Persoanlly, I do not like the model with the 120mm
bottom fan. The model with the 80mm back fan is more quiet
and I don't have problems getting the bottom fan & guard
to fit in the case.
Also, even though both were 300w models, in addition to being
more quiet, the one with the 80mm back fan has SLIGHTLY
more stable rails than the other Fortron. (MultiMeter measured of course)
Not only that, my system is a bit cooler too. It seems the
large bottom fan was robbing air from the case fan. :(

If you want a real PowerHouse get the Fortron 400w. :cool: :cool:
The rails on this one rarely stray beyond 1%. :D
