| Re: Updated Power supply guide Rosewill RP550-2 ATX12V v2.01 550W Power Supply 115/230 V CSA,UL,TUV, FCC I keep seening this PSU getting recommended for budget builds and looking at the specs... I don't like it! so I traced it to back here. under Top Single 12V Railed Power Supplies section. thing is the old version (single rail) has imho poor efficiency (by today's standards) and the new version (one linked) isn't single rail (still not 80PLUS) again, I don't like it. I DEMAND you to take it out of top rated single rail PSU section :P then maybe, just maybe I'll stop seeing that unit around?

| Re: Updated Power supply guide Actually that PSU is pretty great, also a good add is the Antec 650 TPT for $60 on Newegg

| Re: Updated Power supply guide rosewill version 1 12V-34A $54 my counter $69 12V-33A combined rosewill version 2 12V-36A $69 my counter $59 12V-34A combined need slightly more power? Antec True Power Trio TP3-550 550W ATX12V Power Supply with Three 12V Rails 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, FCC, TÜV, CE, C-tick, CCC, CB $60 12V-42A rosewill- I am very generous giving it 75% efficiency 420W *.75= 315W corsair - 396W * .80= 316.8W earthwatt 430 - 360W *.80 = 288W 430 maybe a bit weak to power more power hungry cards but then again this is the budget build section btw ya think 430 would power the new HD 4850 and a quad? it might have been good back then, but this is now! plus wouldn't the energy savings add up over time? better efficiency -> less heat -> longer parts life -> less carbon released -> more green environmentally and pocket wise therefore I see no place for rosewill oh yeah, I had someone counter me before on the v2 rosewill saying efficiency is 72% and GREATER but even the better rated PC Power and Corsair doesn't get MUCH higher than their rated 80ish-% so I don't see how one rated at 72 is going to compete with 80% rated
