Default Power Supply Roundup - Six PSU's fight to the death

Today Cameron Johnson has posted a power supply roundup comparing some of the
latest units from OCZ, Thermaltake, Vantec and Coolermaster. We'll check out the
appearance and features of each PSU and then put them up against each other and
measure the type of minimum and maximum voltages each is able to deliver with a
standard system and then an overclocked system based around an Intel Pentium 4
Prescott processor.


As the power requirements for systems increase your choice of PSU is becoming ever more important. You might also want to keep in mind that BTX is around the corner and could bring with it changes that will not only affect the motherboard and case, but also the PSU.

Check out the review here.

and I.. however I think they're overrated.... as I noticed no difference in voltage fluctuation.... although that could be the mobo's fault.. but it's a good mobo.. so

Your motherboard does have good power management (it uses quality components). That probably limits what difference you can see. It's still there though. You have to admire the beauty of this, news about a power supply article and everyone who posts in this thread uses Antec!
