Psu

My power supply unit just overheated. I have (had) a Cooler Master ATX12V 380W Peak. Now i need recommendations for a new PSU that is relatively cheap and not too noisy. Thanks!

What components? Do you overclock? Does modular/non-modular matter to you?

 

[ah-bee]

i dont overclock, i dont understand what modular or non modular is. and by components u mean other hardware?

and by components u mean other hardware?

Yes.

i dont understand what modular or non modular is

Non-modular PSUs have all the connectors soldered to the PSU's PCB. With modular PSUs, you can remove the cables you aren't using (= less clutter). Modular is obviously more expensive.

This should be good.

is 460W CoolerMaster Extreme ATX alright?

 

[worshipme]

The Antec is more efficient, 80% efficiency vs 70% efficiency.

 

[ah-bee]

but plenty cheaper here (in Australia). 50 dollars cheaper actually, all i want to know is that it is compatible.

Yes, it will work fine.
