What can u say about Cougar CM Power HEC-700TE 700W?

[gabs]

---

Planning for a PSU upgrade that is CHEAP pero BRANDED with HIGH EFFIECIENCY?

My choice is the Cougar CM Power HEC-700TE 700W.

I just want to share unsa akong na-notice ani.

I saw this at PCquickbuys priced at 4,600 pesos.

heres a pic(from Tipidpc.com buy and sell section thread)



and here is from pcgameshardware.com

Cougar CM Power 700 Review: New PSU series tested - Cougar, CM Power, power supply unit, PSU - PC Games Hardware










One major difference is the BOX.
Honestly nagduda ko ani naa sa ato.

heres the data from 80plus.org

http://www.80plus.org/manu/psu/psu_r...00W_Report.pdf

sa metal case lang daan lahi ra kaayo.



Ang akong main doubt jud is "80plus certified ba jud ni siya?" orange case.

we are aware na baya nga CHINA is laganap na. kung sa celphone pa China clone.

Di man sad ko kareklamo sa price kay as in cheap jud siya for a 700W nya modular cable pa jud, w/ "80plus bronze logo".

My main concern is the "efficiency" ra jud if tinuod ba ni or dili.


Here's another product which i really doubt nga the same product as this Cougar cm power HEC-700te

the Tracens supero 700 which is sold at 3.6K B-new sa tipidpc buy and sell thread.

TipidPC.com | [PSU] Tacens Supero 700w(Modular,QuadRail,Anti-Vibration)*on-stock*







Very much similar?

If so, 3.6K vs 4.3K sa Tipidpc.com

Please give ur comments.

Not really a fan of HEC brands because i heard several bad feedbacks about it. I would recommend Corsair, Silverstone brands. Though it's a bit expensive, dili ka magmahay sa kana na products in terms of reliability, efficiency etc2x....

if efficiency imo gidudahan bro.. if the PSU has sticker logo like this..

then it has high effiency.. Gold is the best..

[dmelsie]

if unsay makaya sa imo budget bro kana palita

a good friend of mine(Nerdherd of tpc) swears by his Tacens Supero 700W...barato na...sulit ang performance. i have a HEC 700W Cougar...ok ra sya but medyo init iyang temps when in full 3DMode(gaming) using a GTX295Matrix...one thing i don't like sa HEC...bati ang paint job...dali magaras so you have to be extra carefully inig install or tangtang...

the HEC psu shown in the link you gave 80plus.org is not the cougar but the HEC WinPower

sakto si vash bro, naa na sa box nabutang makita nimo ang label. been a HEC user for all my rigs niagi sa akong mga kamot, hehehe. so far, ok ra kaayo. i really haven't heard of class-A or fake PSU with brand names pa, not yet. HEC is a branded PSU, and wats good ani is dili kaayo mahal. though kung sabton nimo, im sure cheaper brands come with cheaper components. its true sad, daghan sa net, nga naay documented failures ani, but of course, not worth your sleepless night.

as to boxes, manufacturers can always change them, depende sa country asa gi-print.

80+bronze- 80%~85% efficiency at 20%~100% load..
