Ezcool PSU

[lafleur1977]

Hello,

I am seeking advice on the brand Ezcool for power supplies. Has anyone heard of them and are they any good?

I am building a PC for a friend and my friends friend has this psu we can possibly use: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/700W-Ezcool-PS-08-Modular-PSU-12cm-Quiet-Fan-SLi-EPS12v-ATX-v203

However to me it looks cheap, doesn't have an efficiency rating and comments i have read are very good.

The PC spec will be:

CPU: AMD Phenom II 965BE
GPU: XFX ATI Radeon HD 5670
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS (x2)
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H
Memory: Corsair XMS3 (4GB)
PSU (my choice): Silverstone SST-ST60F-P

Thanks for any help

Research it. The first time you loose your mobo or cpu or both due to a cheap PSU is usually a hard and expensive lesson to learn.

Did you stop to wonder why your friends friend isn't using it?

someone was complaining about their EZcool PSU on the boards last week I believe.
it will work (ATI 5670 hardly needs that much power) but your choice is a better PSU or this one below.

From the research I have done I was unable to find ezcool's official website but I think they are manufactured by Scan.co.uk. Indeed, good point with why its not being used.

Thanks

No. They may be manufactured for Scan.co.uk.
