Antec Power Supply
Hello all of you
I have a question about a Power Supply what i'm gonna buy. I want to buy the Antec True Power 480W True Blue (seems to be good for overclocking) for my mainboard Asus A7N8X Deluxe where i a have an Athlon XP 3000+ installed. But i have noticed that there seems to be two versions of these Antec's. I found an interesting price at a Austrian website for the Antec Blue 480W but saw a difference in price between that one and the Antec True 480, which was cheaper then the Blue. But i knew from Dutch stores, that the True Blue is more expensive then the True Power, so i did a search on other sites in Germany and Austria and i discovered, that there are Antec True's and Antec True Power's. This is confusing, so i mailed with the retailer of the Austrian site, who mailed me back with the answer that the difference the ampère's are. True Power's do have more ampère. So now i am wondering if there are also two version of the Blue. Is there the ANTEC TRUE BLUE (TRUE POWER) 480W and the ANTEC TRUE BLUE 480W???? I can't find anything about this at the homepage of Antec, so maybe one of you can give me that information, because I want to buy a True Blue with the same capacities of the True Power. TIA |

Be careful they are not selling you a "Smart Blue" rather than "True Blue". They are still a good PS, but not quite as up to spec. Do you really need 480W BTW? I run a XP2500 overclocked to 3200, CDDVDRW, 1 HD, 1 FD, FX5600 video, modem card, Audigy soundcard, with an Abit NF7S motherboard from an Antec Smart Blue 350 PS with no problems whatsover. There is a tendency now days for the computer industry and overclockers to try to make you believe you need very high powered PS's. This is not true. Yes, if you have more than one processor but for the average overclocker with 1 processor, and a few drives, a quality 350W PS is more than ample. Larry Gagnon , A+ certified tech. |
