Coolmax Cp-500t

[StealthyFish]

Hey, have any of you guys seen any reviews for the COOLMAX CP-500T power supply? I've been looking around, It looks good on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817159040, active PFC and all, but I wanna make sure it's good. Any of you guys own this and can tell me how it is too?

Avoid, 50A on the +5V means an old-school ATX12V spec, adapted to v2.0. Get the XClio 450BL instead, it is cheaper too.

As a general rule take a pass on coolmax.

Hmm.. my other Option was the Fortron AX400-PN

Which would be better.. the Fortron or the XClio? I don't know much about the Xclio, but I know the forton has rock solid voltages and thats what I'm looking for. is the XClio any better, becuase i'm willing to spend 3 more dollars for an improvement, or if there's another powersupply around this price range that performs well and looks good =) (it's always a plus)

In this case, I'll vote for the XClio - that Fortron model is a 350W PSU with a combined 24A 12v limit.

Just so you know, those XClios are re-badged CWT units. In other words, they deliver the Antec quality at a much friendlier price.

sweet. What about the ePower Puma 450W Power supplies? They any good? I've heard of ePower's Cheetah power supplies and heard their voltages don't move when in full load or not, but I'm still lookin for something on the Puma. You guys see any thing good? i've found it for 40 bucks, so it's in my range.


When I say puma, i mean the Puma 2, lol. I just realized there was a Puma 1 through 3.

Those are likely rebranded low-end Topowers. I'd pass.
