Tagan 580 or PCP+C 510?

[K404]

Tagan:

3,3 Volt: 28 A

5 Volt: 48 A

+ 12 Volt (1): 20 A

+ 12 Volt (2): 20 A

+ 12 Volt (combined): 35 A

- 12 Volt: 1,0 A

- 5 Volt: 0,8 A

+ 5 Vsb: 2,5 A





PCP+C

+3.3V: 30A

+5V: 40A

+12V: 34A

-12V: 2A

-5V: 0.3A

+5 Vsb: 3A



The prices I can get either at are about the same. What you all think?



Thanks a lot,

Kenny

PCP no questions asked.

Have to agree PCP&C

Bad experiences with (three units ) from PCP&C would make me suggest the Tagan. But I clearly have had bad luck with them as everyone else loves them, which makes me wonder...

Anyway, the new Tagan 580 looks good. Also worth checking out is the new Akasa range which I have my eye on, such as the 650 (not peak) 4 x 12V rail PSU which has received some excellent reviews

Either or they both look good pn paper.

What's the peak powe ron the tagan?

If you want silence, Tagan. If not, PCP&C.

OCZ 520? or 600?

OCZ 520? or 600?

They`re more expensive Thing is, I need one massive 12V rail, split rails are not much use to me..

Twin PSUs would be the easiest thing for me, and mount them externally. The neat lines of the case go bye-bye, but the heatercore contributes to that anyway...

 

[maverik-sg1]

Steer clear of the 520w version of OCZ - I had to pump 1.84v thru my clawhammer FX55 to reach 3.15 Ghz - changed to PCP&P dropped volts to 1.75 and overclock went up to 3.25 Ghz.

The 600w would be more stable but lacks SLI.

Stick with the two choices you have available to ya.

Well... I was thinking about having my Tagan 480 for my computer and buying another Tagan (prob a 380) for the Vapochill.... The switching currents when I turn on the Vapochill when the computer is on whould prob not be good for stability, even with a PCP+C...

Maybe a real comparison betwwen the Tagan 580 and the PCP+C 510 should be done... with specs so similar, would be interesting to see which one wins... The Tagan is about half the price as well....
