I wish to get a PSU to power the system below:
XP2500+ @ 2.4GHz, 1.95V
1GB HyperX PC4000
Abit NF7-S @ 240MHz FSB(480MHz)
Maxtor DM+9 160gb SATA & AltasIII SCSI 18GB & DM+60 30.7GB PATA
PowerColor R9800Pro @ 433/350
TDK 48X CDRW
Sony 48X CDROM
Intel 100/S NIC
2 x 120mm low speed fans
1 x 120mm delta 0.6A
1 x Global Win 0.22A 80mm
1 x 0.19A 80mm
1 x NWB 92mm
1 x 40mm 5V
1 x Cold Cathode Light
I need very strong 12V, 3.3V & 5V lines to aid my overclocking, for with my SuperMicro 400W PSU, the 12V line is around 11.85V , my 5V line around 4.94V@ 2.3GHz, 1.85V. The Power Supply should also have room for expansion and adding of hardware. I am looking for a PSU that can maintain at least 11.98V(12V) @ full load & 4.99V(5V). I actually wanted the PC Power & Cooling 510 Dexule but the shipping adds 35% of the cost so it is too ex. The power supplies that I can find and will choose from in my country are:
Tagan 480W PSU w/ PFC(Silent)
HEC 525W PSU
Antec TruePower 550(no PFC, TrueControl Model not available)
Which should I take? Does PFC help to give a more constant voltage and reduce fluctuations in the current? I am currently thinking of getting the Tagan 480W as it has a more powerful 12V line than the HEC & Antec.
