As with many things in Korea, power supply specs are not really standardized, as I think very few people actually look. The standard method is to list the combined 12v rail amps or perhaps separately. I suspect that any PSU listed with 13A on the 12v. rail is incorrectly labeled, either in terms of overall wattage or what is potentially going through the 12v rail.

Anyhow, I provided the math for a standard PSU, and that is generally the rule. I personally have 2 350w PSUs, one outside the box running fans and my graphics card. Yes, that's how much I trust Korean PSUs. I wasn't going to drop the small fortune they wanted for the 500w I was after at the time, though prices for PSUs have come down in the last year or so.

I too order online, as going to Yongsan just isn't worth the time it takes to get things done, and the delivery charge is miniscule and the service is fast. I always call the same guy at Yongsan, and he gets exactly what I want everytime. Seems that when one goes there, the desired products become rare.


Quality post.

I'm pretty sure I'm going w/ a Antec True Control 550 PSU for my new com...it's got the best reviews. Either that, or a Zalman.

Can anybody tell me if it's usable in both Korea and Thailand?
