Aerocool Strike-X 500W 80+ Bronze PSU
Last response: in Components
Hey, I just found a 500w 80+ Bronze certified PSU called Aerocool Strike-X. I'm not sure whether if it's a good brand or not, so please say here if you ever had one or not.
Also, I need to know whether it can handle a GTX 260. The GTX 260 says it needs two 6-pin pci-e connectors but this PSU has two 6+2 pin pcie connectors. I was wondering if the two connectors can be used as a 6 pin pcie connector to power the 260.
Please answer. Detailed answers appreciated.

It's a pretty good PSU.

You can use the 6+2 pins and have the +2 pins hanging off.

Will it sufficiently power the GTX 260 without any problems at all?Also, is this a normal sized ATX psu?
Hi - It's enough power, but I'd be leery of this brand. This particular unit might be OK,
but Aerocool has this type of history:

Personally, I would avoid this company's products.

The Strike-X 500W is likely to be better than the ones toyftw mentioned, but that does not mean that it is going to be any good.
Dimensions: 150x86x165, so it is a bit longer than the ATX standard of 150x86x140.
I'd recommend
XFX ProSeries 450W Core Edition (v1 / P1-450S-XXB9) (£35 @ CCL Online)
