OKIA 550W PSU

Post by GamingGranddad »

Any opinions on this.M y friend on the forums at emachinesocerclockerupgrades.Has the 450W model and is overclocking with it.And has been using his PSU for about 6months now.Without a single problem.

I was considering this 550W model.

6 months is not long enough to be considered a good PSU. I know a guy over at OCforums that is the guru of all things PSUs, I'll PM him and see what he things. This dude has taken apart and dissected almost every psu on the market, but my gut tells me you get what you pay for and once you tax that thing its gonna go boom

i have had 3 OKIA psu's, first one came with case, lasted 4 months, okay. 2nd lasted 3 days! and 3rd lasted 2 weeks, then when i went back to the store and was going to get the replacement for it, i told em, "Screw that OKIA crap, gimme a Enermax 450W" and they did, and it not only has a 3yr warranty, but ive stressed the crap outa it (talking 2 computers at once, with watercooling) and its still running strong
