Suggestion for new power supply

[pillar]

Hey guys, whatcha think of this power supply: https://www.shopfsp.com/kingcraft-1000-demo/p/554.html

or maybe even this one: https://www.shopfsp.com/everest-1010/p/402.html

I will admit that its not necessary, but merely looking into it. I highly doubt that I will get it, but just want your thoughts on it. I know the 1st is a demo & my current 1 is a 600 or 700w psu (cant remember the #). Any & all feedback is greatly appreciated.

I would choose the first one, both of those discounts are crazy good.

80 amps is pretty nice, especially for that price.

And I like the sleeves on the first one a lot more too.

What does the demo mean?

Because that one doesn't say demo and it's the same price.

thats the thing, not sure what demo means either.

I don't have much time right now, but look for reviews of them that test the voltage regulation and ripple suppression. Those are two important things to take into consideration when buying a PSU that you can't tell from the specs. If a PSU is not good in at those two things, you're in for trouble later on.

I would only get PSU from brand name companies. I haven't heard of those. What I would look into are Corsair and Thermaltake.

I have never heard of Kingcraft, but based on the very few reviews out there, it seems like an out dated design with bad efficiency (not 80+ cert.)

In the $100-$150 range i would get any of these;

(In order)
Seasoninc X650
Antec True Power New 750
XFX Black Edition 750
Corsair HX 750



I would much rather have any of the above.

I've never heard of Kingcraft either. It's a low price, but I'd rather go with a trusted brand, Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling.

I second the SeaSonic X650.
SeaSonic is like the best PSU brand.

I will second the Corsair. Always used them and not one failure. Also using a BFG 450 in my work rig thats running an i3 @ 4.2 along with a 8800GTS, see how long this one holds up. I could not resist it at $29 .

Nowadays, i wouldn't buy any PCP&C stuff.

They are really out of date, ripple suppression is meh, and efficiency is low.

They were good before they decided to stop updating their line.

(btw, OCZ owns PCP&C, and they announced that they are discontinuing the PCP&C name)
