Take a look at this PSU...

is this Fortron as nice as I think it is? I just built my new box and was foolish enough to buy an Ultra X-Connect but between the noise and the overly stiff cables it has to go, and I am a big Fortron fan. What do you guys think?
 
That is almost exactly the same as my TTGI Super Flower 450-SS, which is understandable since they came from the same factory. Mine has a 140mm fan and is painted differently, but I can tell you now you wouldnt be dissapointed with that little beaut.

Yep, I agree, I think that one is getting ordered tonight. Now I just have to change out the noisey front intake fans on this Praetorian and my new rig will be all set :D
 
Hmmm now that I see that one, I kind of wish I'd gotten that instead of the Antec NeoPower 480W... Pre-sleeved cabling... cheaper... oh well.
 
ATX12V v2.0 healthy +12V1 & +12V2 rails
dont know of any reviews, but based on past experience
it should be a workhorse with reliable compliance to the spec
(regulation & ripple) Id say it would be a fine choice
unless your doing something unusual that would require a supply with better than spec performance
 
I ended up going with this Enermax instead, but when I upgrade my second PC I think I will check out the Fortron. Thanks for everyone's comments, this is the only place I trust for PSU info. The dual fan design, speed control and no annoying blue light on the Enermax pushed it to the front runner for my main machine (in sig).
 
I have to say the EG495P is pretty impressive, and definitely runs cooler than that piece of crap Ultra I had for a week. That thing was seriously running hot.

Should I see both 12v rails in BIOS or do they still show up as one?

you know thats a damn good question
Id assume you would only see +12V1 as its the one conected to the mobos VRM
and that is where the SMBus gets its info

VRM = Voltage Regulation Modual
SMBus = System Management Bus

That's pretty much what I figured (as far as only seeing one) but I wanted to ask here, and big thumbs up on the Enermax, your suggested list is da' bomb!
