powmax power supply..

It sucks. Powmax is more a generic brand of PSU's. You'd be ahead getting a brand name (Antec, Fortron, Enermax, Vantec, Thermaltake) PSU off of newegg.com even if it's a lower wattage than be stuck with that.

Watts don't matter, the brand name is the biggest part of what you'll be looking for. The number 1 most important component in your computer is your PSU, if it goes it can take out your motherboard, CPU, video card and who knows what else...
 
I sell and buy A LOT of generic psu's, and i can say raimax and powmax i dont like.

Most work ok for their lifespan, but some have weird ass issues. Just weird stuff.

Usually though they'll work fine, its 1 in a whole bunch that youll have problems with. Just remember that they sell lots and lots of them, and most have no issues.

I bought a case with a 350 raidmax in there, it died. I went back and got it replaced... THAT one died. I was out of my warranty by then, so i bought an antec true430. End of story.
 
Generally speaking, power supplies that have explosion sound effects in their names don't fair too well :D
 
Yeah, my Raidmax PSU isnt all that great. It likes to make high pitched noises during loads and such. It still works, just kinda annoying.

Im really looking forward to buying a new PSU soon :rolleyes:
