Tommade PSU

[Sempron Guy]

---

Any feedbacks? I always recommend branded power supplies for my clients except for some circumstances. Until I got this client who ordered a GTS 250 E-Green. It was already SOP for me to ask what psu he's using. And he said it was a TomMade 650w PSU. I heard of the brand before and had always doubt it's efficiency. So as SOP, I explained to him the risks of running a card of the GTS 250's caliber on a generic( I could be wrong sa term) psu. So I go look for their website ( luckily they have one ) and asked my client what TomMade psu model he has. He was unable to verify, so I suggested nalang to upgrade the psu first, they do have some decent psus on their product list but again, I was unfamiliar with the psu. After some series of questions and advices, he decided to get the card nalang and not use it until he gets a good power supply. Usual transaction goes, until the card arrived. I went to their house to verify nalang pud the specs of the psu. I was shocked sa iya specs. It got 32amps in the +12v rail! The psu is presented with a black finish, and a catchy 120mm or 140mm blue led fan. I did a quick calculation ( extreme psu calculator ) on his rig's total consumption w/c is just 345w( it was a package rig w/ an i5 dual core, 2gb ddr3 ram and 1tb hitachi drive, no accessories ). So we agreed to give it a quick run. I connected the card for testing purposes only and it ran fine. Did a quick 3dMark06 run and SCII 5min worth of gameplay fine. I know that its not enough to test the card on a psu that quick and the card is a green ed. anyway. My client is already saving for an Enermax psu, but this will probably hold him on for a weeks until then. The specs of the TomMade psu was pretty decent. That's why I would like to confirm sa mga users ani, how did it go? Could be a marketing strategy, I don't know, just want to ask user experiences as reference nalang pud. If I could only take a peak inside one, I'm not that of an expert in identifying and measuring a good build but this psu really raises my curiosity meter.

For me yes it is possible to have a 32amps 12v rail sa SMPS nga PSU gamay ra gani na. Naa gani me diri sa amoa company pero dili ni para PC nga PSU Max Current kay 50amp unya 24V pa gani. For automation noon ni nga PSU pero mas gamay pa ug case sa ATX nga PSU wala pay fan.

Maybe nindot ni nga design nga PSU for heavy loads.

I got your point but what I'm asking is for a psu of this range, sakto kaha ang specs nga nila gipakita or just a marketing scheme? Below 1k man gud ni nga psu, and having an ampere rating this high sa 12v rail is to good to be true.

I think I've seen this in G.I. (it's also in their pricelist).. I don't know about it, so I didn't bother to try ~_~

Marketing strategy ra tingali na sir oi, nakapalit pud ko ani nga psu for my boss presentable kaayu ang itsura. For the quality, so far wala paman ni buto, hehehe..


OT @Sempron
Sir asa ta makapalit ug Enermax nga PSU? Interesado ko sa Enermax PRO82+ 625w nindot kay dili modular..

[Sempron Guy]

nakahinumdum ko sa trendsonic nga psu sauna, nin-ana ghapon taas2 pud ang ampere sa 12v,

@hangin

wala ko kabalo asa dapit dha sa cebu pero naa sa tipidpc

[kazki]

Sadly, wa jud nakasulay og experiment ani nila... who knows bacn naa ni hidden potential.. >.> or not, but a waste of money.

[werty]

lets just say CLASS A ni sila, better than generics i guess.. hopefully they can hold at least 60% of labeled specs and not just cosmetics...
