Selecting A Good Computer Power Supply Unit For Entertaining: 5 Notable Features To Pay Attention To!
Posted by Parkzone Corsair in Corsair on October 17th, 2011
When I ask some of my friends who are heavy gamers the question “What’s the most important part in your gaming machine?” They said almost the same answer “It’s the video card man!”
Of course, I don’t argue that the graphic card is like the face of a pretty girl.
But boys, if the girl is always in tiredness and fall down all the time, do you want to make a life long and serious relationship with her? (Yet I still hear some “Yes” answers! What the… )
If you ask me the same question, my reply will be “the power supply unit – PSU.”
Because without it, nothing is going to run. And without a decent PSU, your heavy-duty graphic card and your latest micro chip won’t operate!
No power, no computer, no games. Period!
So now you have it. PSU plays an important role in your PC. Especially when it comes to gaming computers. But how to select a decent one so that it can stand the HUGE amount of electric power consumption?
Let me share with you what I know.
Because there are more than one type of motherboards and each type of them requires different forms of computer supply unit. And pay close attention to the number of pin for your PSU on your motherboard.
Many older motherboards support lesser features, therefore they use 20-pin ATX. Whereas newer versions utilize 24-pin ATX. Take a short amount of time to check your board, it is very important.
Desktop PC’s for gaming or home entertainment are usually MONSTERS!
They always use a ridiculous amount of electric power. Guess what, if you fail to provide them their need, they decline to work! And I’ve seen many mighty computers that consume up to 850W or even 1200W with their PSU!
But in exchange, they will bring you realistic motions from your new (and high requirements) FPS games. Or present you with gorgeous images from photo-editing software.
It is the acronym of Mean Time Between Failure.
It’s just the number of running hours a PSU can provide you. Or to say in other words, how many hours it can work before it fails!
This depends on your activities with your PC as well. When it comes to this attribute, try to look for something like 100,000 hours or so.
It’s a range of electric values that your PSU can provide to other components of the PC.
Because each one of them has different value of input current. Therefore your supplying unit must deliver exactly what they want.
There are always a maximum value and a minimum one. If one part doesn’t get its minimum requirement, it reject to work. Simple as that.
It’s a truth that computer power supply unit can be a HUGE source of noise!
Especially when it’s a low quality PSU, and can’t shut its mouth up when running. For photo editors or entertain-at-home people, noise is a real problem!
Therefore, a fair PSU with no noise even when it operates at its best is a big plus! Consider this attribute when you build your own PC.
If you want a strong PSU, something like 850W to 1200W, I can give you a recommendation.

BACKSTORY: The death of Hades’s 2007 motherboard. (Abit IP35 Pro Socket with 2G of DDR2 800mHz memory.) At the time, I was unsure if it was the power supply (OCZ GameXStream OCZ600GXSSLI 600W power supply) or the motherboard. In the end, both had to be replaced. Not happy that OCZ’s product allowed itself to be killed by a faulty motherboard. My OCZ RAM melted too, so I am done with OCZ. Also had some minor harddrive corruption on my oldest harddrive (which was my C: system drive, which I will be reformatting soon and using only for backups).
Have since upgraded the power supply to a Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750W power supply, and the motherboard to an ASRock P43DE3 LGA775 motherboard with 8G of DDR3 1600mHz RAM (but I could only run it at 1200 or 1333mHz). Between that, and upgrading to Windows 7 (installed on my 2nd youngest drive), it is like a completely different, new, faster computer. Total upgrade cost was about 0. (I’m using the same CPU, an Intel Core2 Duo E6750 2.66gHz.)
Actually, the first replacement power supply was either killed by the motherboard, or I failed to test it correctly with the power supply tester. I RMA’ed it back to NewEgg, and apparently swapped the boxes (or so they claim), so my RMA was rejected, and I was billed a 2nd time. So this really cost about 0 now, thanks to NewEgg being such sticklers. When I finally get the 2nd one back, I’ll test it again. If it’s really broken, I’ll have to RMA it a second time to Corsair. The 5 year warranty should cover it, but I’ll still end up having bought 2 power supplies. Might be time to take up my friend who wanted me to build a computer for her…
