Re: Super Flower power supply doesn't fit my Fractal Design

The mounting holes in the case are diagonally mirrored, so if the PSU doesn't fit in one direction it shouldn't fit in the other either. Coming to think of it though... ther might be one reason the PSU can't be mounted either way: The mounting holes are not centered on the PSU, so it needs more (mo...

Re: Super Flower power supply doesn't fit my Fractal Design

I assume that it will end up in the bottom of the case, with the heatsink facing up? That should be fine, as it will put the heatsink where it gets the most airflow. Sorry for a late reply. The problem is that the holes of my Super Flower passive PSU won't fit with the upside facing up in my Fracta...

At the lower end of this range, a 520 Platinum has an efficiency better than around 77% (25W), the smaller one is better than around 74% (23W), a Corsair RM should be better than around 72% (25W), so it's mainly series-dependant.

You may give a look at the relevant SPCR's reviews (or JonnyGuru's ones), but IMO you should just grab the most economical one.
Thanks that would be a logical choice. Do you know which one of the makers that have the longest warranty?

A midrange gaming PC should use about 600W already if you account for aging, so add another graphics card and overclocking and 1000W isn't that ridiculous anymore. A most ridiculous statement! Most don't need more than 300W and a 400W psu should suffice. Only gamers need about 600W psu's with their...
