    Ost

    Hi,
    Im considering a power supply from Corasir which has Hitachi and OST caps, what sort of rep do they have?

    Sounds like a CX400. As long as they are adequately cooled OST can do fine in a psu.

    Hitachi is known good.

      Hi,
      Yes correct first time the CX400, Imnew to this what should I do to ensure adequate cooling? I attempted my first recap of my 2004 machine with Panasonic Caps and fingers crossed two months later the pc runs better than it ever did.

      This led me to search the net for power supplies which use Panasonic Caps but it came up blank ( any ideas )? , lastly do pc buffs build their own supplies and what kind of money would a 500W cost to build....Im assuming you can buy the board and screw it to a prebuilt metal box , wire up the cables ( could be techy ) and thats it?

      Again when time permits, and oh, appreciate the quick reply.

        Power supplies are usually designed by college graduate electrical engineers. Pretty complex things.

        The corsair adequately cools itself. There is not much in the way of the caps and fan, so plenty of air moves over them.

        I don't know of many or any psu manufactures that use Panasonic (other than lite-on). Basically all corsairs except the CX400 use UCC.

          Hi 370forlife,
          I think its good value the CX and my sys is quite small only requires 250W maxed out, so I got upgrade power if required. I saw some 40$ supplies and thought wow Ill go there but a little further reading has I think paid off.

          Many thanks for your replies and I wish you good luck.

            I have a Corsair 400CX powering a Socket 754 Sempron 2800+ with Radeon 9600XT

            Works fine and the system doesn't randomly lock up any more as it did with the old PSU...

              Although they can be OK in PSUs if adequately cooled, on motherboards they are Only Some Trash

                ^ indeed.
                the OSTs in my Antec Neopower/NeoHE 430W (Seasonic OEM) are still perfectly fine after nearly 2years daily use powering my overclocked Core 2 Quad.
                allthough i'm probably going to replace them the next time i open it up to clean it..i mean.. i'm in there anyways.. so why not? better safe than sorry

                  I have had far more success with OST in PSUs than with Teapo.
                  "We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

                    Meh, I rip them out and replace with Panasonic.
                    Had them fail in two Antec PSUs, so the third is being done for the hell of it.
