Cannot decide on a 550W PSU.

Tacoman667 · Mar 3, 2004

I need some advice. I was looking at the Sparkle 550W PSU FSP model but was reading the boards about some of these PSU's needing a 24pin-20pin adapter because the PSU was made for a dual or server board. Can someone list which ones need this adapter? I just don't want to order a PSU only to find out AFTER it comes in that I need to wait another week for an adapter. Thanks in advance!

Yeah i heard that too about the sparkles. I'm not sure if they come with the adapter or not.

i love my enermax but a really killer psu is a pc power and cooling, those are top notch for sure.

PC Power and Cooling? Never heard of them. Are they as expencive as the other top names like Antec or Sparkle?

Their 510 watt model will run you 200$, but it is in a performance class of its own. I have 1 and the 12V rail neven fluxuates more than .01V.

Antec's True 550 is very nice. I reccomend it, it's in my old system, and will be in my new one.

Which True 550?
The "True Control", or the "True Power"?

From the posts here it seems the TC are more stable under heavy
load than the TP. And the Fortron 530w is said by many to be
slightly more stable under heavy load than the Antec TC550.

Just my two cents.

I believe True control is just true power with adjustable rails. It still has the same seprate lines and 3% regulation on some lines that the true power series has.

Just FYI.... I have a TruPower 550 in the classifieds. I just posted it.

Now running my True Control 550watt- great PSU, like the front panel adjustments

im pretty sure that the TC just have adjustable rails like Gnufsh said, there shouldn't be a difference in stability
