Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

i've asked a tagan reps in my forum about the caps they use in their product, and he told me that they also have asked the company about this problem. This is his response mail from Tagan:

Hi

thanks for your information! Actually we knew it long time ago, and don't use their capacitors since 6 months ago.

Best regards,

Allen Yu

Hi Allen

I'm the one who should thank you!

I've had some info from my friends at Gigabyte & Asus and he seems have some info regarding to some faulty PSU capacitor problems in certain brand:

Fuhjyyu capacitor (found in Antec and FSP (and so many others licensed from FSP, for example Zalman), Tagan and so many other power supplies to this day)

Do tagan use this brand of capacitor?

Many thanks

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

hmmm ok what do they use though.

i was looking at a Tagan, looks good. The following model is going for 117.80 euro here though so i would be expecting a lot.

Tagan TG480-U01 Power Supply: Full Review
http://www.short-media.com/review.php?r=128

active pfc also. looks like their newer U22 models with dual +12v are the ones to get though. its switchable also in case you dont want that. dual 80mm fans is a good cooling solution but maybe not so popular with the kids these days? the heatsinks look good. however the plaited cables, i dont like that. i would prefer black mesh.

Tagan is Topower - I've seen Teapo in them quite a bit lately.

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

Kind of scary seeing all of these high wattage PSU's suddenly coming out left and right....

MGE = 900W (Seventeam)
Ultra = 800W (Andyson)
Hi-Per = 730W (Andyson)
Sin-tek = 700W (Wintech)

Now Tagan?!? Wow! I hope they all hold up. That's a lot of power to be throwing around out there!

Bigger bang?

I think the Tagan shown is the same as the AOpen. Tagan and AOpen have both always used Topower and I've heard from my supplier that there was an AOpen 900W and 1100W on the horizon. Has to be the same thing.

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

Aopen is Fortron at the moment... maybe they're switching or something. I do know Fortron has been bragging about the Epsilon design being good to 900W.

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

They are bringing them out due to nVidia announcing that they will start selling their Quad SLI based rigs to more than just Dell...

One single 7900GTX draws 120w, so with 4 that is 480w in only GFX card power!!!

So with a 900w PSU you only have 420w to spare, that is not really much if you pair it up with Intels latest creations that draws 150w stock, and you can imagine that someone with such a rig will OC and then it will easily draw above 200w... Just the CPU...

So 900w might aactually be cutting it a bit close, dang, I never thought I would say that when I first head about the first 1kW PSU only a few months ago!

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

Lunacy! AOpen branded PSUs have always been Fortron not Topower. The 700 Watter that AOpen had a brief exclusive on is now out under the Fortron brand : Fortron Epsilon 700. Here is the AOpen version: [b]AO 700W[b]. Enermax (of which MaxWorld, Tagan and ePower, is a division) uses a variety of OEMs for their PSUs Channel Well and Topower among them.

Note to admin: Kindly punt the 10-minute edit limit. I often spend 10 minutes tweaking JUST ONE SENTENCE of my posts...

The Tagan 900/1100s are Topower variants.

Howdy, Bad Caps! I've been lurking for a while so I thought I'd join up. The Zepper has arrived!

I can tell you're all thrilled at the news...

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

God guys.... I'm sorry. What was I thinking!!

Yes... AOpen has always been FSP units. Jeez!! I'm a moron.

And I don't think they're switching any time soon. :p

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

Aopen is FSP, yeah, but i'm not sure of their short units. (PS3) I have an old acer aspire p2 desktop at the school that I'm disassembling, the grille doesn't look like fortron. Will open up the PSU (once i can get it out - damn sadist case designers making you remove teh CDROM to remove the PSU

) and post findings.

What's the part number? The AOpens I've used have had the same part numbers as an equivalent FSP unit.

**Chris1992** · 03-13-2006, 05:47 PM

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

No idea what the part # is, I can't get the PSU out enough to read it. (damn sadists)

**Oklahoma Wolf** · 03-13-2006, 06:44 PM

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

I've heard Aopen used to be Sirtec/Highpower - perhaps it's one of them being from the P2 era.

**zepper** · 03-13-2006, 06:48 PM

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

Acer PC systems is a completely separate entity from the AOpen division even though they share the Acer corporate umbrella. Acer Systems OEMs their PSUs from numerous suppliers.
. AOpen sells components and barebones chassis to system integrators, VARs and us hobbyists. They really try to keep the quality of their components well above average. AOpen cases, PSUs, optical drives and mobos have been very reliable for me over the years.

The Acer retail channel (now Benq) stuff has not fared nearly so well here.

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

Thanks for clearing that up, zepper. Will post what I find about the PSU.

**Chris1992** · 03-14-2006, 12:43 PM

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

The PSU is a 'Tiger Power' 145W.

Ooh... Lead Year. That's old school. They're out of bizz.

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

So what ever happenned to the saying you get what you payfor??

Would you really want a $150 1100w Tagen PSU in your system or powering vital components??

I am just asking...

I am here to learn and ask questions??

**willawake** · 03-25-2006, 04:07 PM

Re: Tagan to deliver 900w and 1100w PSUs

i think tagan is ok, i will either get tagan or seasonic for my next buy

i dont think i will buy so much watts though, but i can see where the specs are going in the next years.
