TTGI 520 vs. 530 Fortronn

[sandman001]

As far as I've heard they both have adjustable pots, which is a big advantage.

But, I'm just not really sure which is better/more reliable.

Sorry to thread jack, but whats an adjustable pot?

 

[sandman001]

A thing in the PSU that you can turn to adjust the voltage rails.

No problem.

I would get the fortron

but only becuase of the number of fans

fortron's 2 fans are already too many

I find fans on the bottom of the psu bothersome

fotron's have a better reputation than ttgi, plus, they give out more wattage than they say they do, for example, fortron's 350w model peaks out at 454w

i would buy the fortron 530w because its such a low-priced high quality power supply

They are both very good products as far as the reliablity/ low cost ratio. I'm kinda a noise nerd, so my choice would be which ever one is quieter. 4 fans could be loud but I looked and they are adjustable. Does either one have seperate pot adjustements for each rail? Thats a pretty cool feature some PSU's are now offering .

I would tend to agree.
Those PSU with 4-5 fans are a bit silly.

Does the TTGI really need all those fans?
If so why? Do they use less efficient components, thus
creating more heat?

Personally, I'd get the Fortron.
They are clearly capable of more than advertised.
Some use the fsp250 to power their OCed nForce2 rigs.
Still others use the fsp300 in thier loaded dual CPU systems.

Fortron has an incredible reputation for providing reliable power sources. I would go with Fortron.

I would go with the 530w Fortron Source also. Corrected my rails when my antec true power 420w was getting the **** kicked out of it.
