Is zebronics 700w platinum a good psu

[vishalaestro]

it costs less and looks attractive with high power 700w

no, its not good, its just like intex and other... it will give you only 420w power (+12V * 35A) (http://www.zebronics.net/m700w_platinum_powersupply.asp)

better to go for cooler master. or buy intex in 450/-

Ignore bkarankar.

You want a quality made PSU from a quality makers such as Seasonic, XFX, Antec, and corsair. These companies consistently make power supplies that are reliable and highly efficient (something coolermaster and other companies fail to do).

You want a quality psu with a beefy 12v rail and all the protections etc in case of any problems. It's not all about the wattage, its about the quality. Who cares if its rated at 700 watts but goes to 60% efficiency, all rails way out of spec and a chance that it'll blow up and kill your computer.

Never ever skimp on a psu and always get a quality one from a reputable company.

so a standard brand of corsair of 600w psu will be enough for my gaming system right

Most of corsair's power supplies can do what they say they do. Most of the dislike for the new models ,like the GS and CX, comes from the fact they are not the same quality as the older VX models, which is a shame.

I like the Corsair TX and HX models for performance PC's and the CX models for the budget builds. The GS models, i don't really like or hate but I usually don't look at them unless they're the only corsair units available.

hey my friend brought a pc 2 years ago his specs are 4gb ddr2 ram,asus mobo i dont know his model,zebronics 9600gt ,intel core2duo 3.00ghz , cooler master psu 450w and a gaming zebronics cabinet..the problem is when he plays games for some 4 or more hours like call of duty black ops .. the games which were working properly began to lag ..so he opened the case and left it opened and now playing but still he gets lag when he plays game for a long time

overheating issue for your friend. Tell him to clean out his computer and use a program like msi afterburner to set his fan speeds higher.

 

[vishalaestro]

already his fan speed is high in his case he has lcd display which could also control fan speed
