The Bargain Basement Power Supply Roundup Review

Everyone of them looks like a piece of junk.

I would never touch one of those to a system I was servicing omg those are bad.

The PSU is no place to economize. Everything in the computer relies on a reliable source of power. Manufacturers can play a lot of games with PSU ratings so two units of similar specifications may have quite different capabilities. But the worst aspect of cheap PSUs is that they do not like to die alone. When they fail they often take other components such as the motherboard with them. That supposed bargain on the PSU could end up costing you a lot of money.

Sadly there are just as many, if not more junk PSU's available today as there was when that article was written 8 years ago.

I'm really not sure why anybody would be looking for a junk power supply or why they would be using a very old list to find one.

 

[AddRAM]

Or why he`s even posting the article at all
It`s from 2007

 

[Dude]

I think he just posted it because it was interesting. He stated it was old, and shared it with us.

A Gaming PSU comparison for 2015.

The Best Gaming Power Supplies for 2015

It`s more of a list of someone`s opinion, of good gaming PSU`s

Really nothing more then advertising

The PSU is not a good candidate for skimping.

I have used that JohnnyGuru site before. Does a lot of stress testing on PSU and has good information.

The article may be 8 years old, but it is still very relevant today. Case in point,

http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-...ply-550w-what-graphics-card-should-i-get.html

I run on windows 7 x64 with two ddr3 4gb RAM,AMD 6450 1gb gpu, AMD 6core processor, chiefmax 550w power supply, A960m-mv motherboard, and a segate hard drive I can tell you the specs on that if you need it

And how many people have we all helped where they have something like that or one from that article.

I'm laughing so hard those PSU sucked so hard I guess Coolmax was too good to make the list

I still have a 600watt running like a champ (BUDGET BABY)

FYI though it's not installed in any machine i am currently using hence it's running like a champ lol
