  Sayang wala nang Johnnyguru.com. T_T
  
  Ang ganda pa naman ng PSU reviews doon.

  Sorry OT, but still power related, I recently bought a STAVOL AVR from a local seller in Lazada. 2000VA (or Wattage, since W = A x V)
  
  mas maganda yung pag correct niya ng voltage vs my Omni servo motor 1000VA AVR. Sa sukat nung isa ko device, si Stavol = 218V - 222V. Compared to my Omni AVR that outputs 233-236V, ine-expect ko, 220V din target nung OMNI, weird lang bakit mid 230's yung voltage niya. Diko alam kung may settings to na pwede ko galawin para target niya talaga mag 220.
  
  Acceptable naman output nung Omni, since rated ang mga device natin for 200-240W kung di ako nagkakamali. Tapos may mga autovolt devices narin tayo na 100-240V. Still, disappointing lang perf kasi ine-expect ko 220V output nung omni

  If you have a multimeter and take the time to measure the voltage coming out of the wall outlet, you'll find that the voltage is typically around 235~240v. Your Omni basically just regulates close to the voltages from the wall while your Stavol's transformer likely has much better regulation which not only controls fluctuations but also the output voltage as well - something typical of branded AVR's.
  
  Does this mean that your Omni AVR is bad? Hindi naman. It's just not as good as the good stuff.

  ^LOL at the jap. Naubo ako sa kakatawa boss Godai :P

  thanks for this insight. Though I know this is an uninformed opinion, ito na yung take ko sakanya:
  While I do believe this is better compared to the "powerlogic" AVRs or any of those 200-400 peso units that basically does nothing (well, baka gumagana yung fuse breaker nung iba kahit pano), I can only think of it as just that. A better unit to the trash.
  
  Wala, in the future, di nako bibili neto. Better pa pala kung nag relay-type panther na lang ako instead of this. Naging decision criteria ko pa naman yung servo motor neto. Oh well, now I know.
  Di rin to mura kasi, cheaper than the other branded AVRs, pero asa 3.2k Php din tong Omni. Kaya mejo ang expect ko, regulate niya to 220V.
  Next time, dapat may dala ako multimeter or request ko i-test yung voltage output before I buy. Nung tinest kasi to, chineck lang kung may kuryente lahat ng ports at gumagana yung needle nung meter sa harap.

• Godai_Yusaku on 18 Jan 22 @ 10:58 PM #

  My relay-type Izuki AVR is still alive and regulating. Hehehe. Nowhere near a Stavol but way better than the P500 tin cans. Maybe even better than the cheap China-made servos. Hehehe

  Both are trash, both have fake "certifications" since wala sila sa 80plus.org database. If you need a budget quality PSU:
  
  psu, CoolerMaster MWEv2 550W 80+ White - 2300php
  psu, FSP HV PRO 550 80+ Bronze - 2300php

  wild question lang...
  
  yung mga PSU sa mga HP Elitedesk SFF na rated "platinum" (yung nakita ko is from a 4th Gen unit/model) or similar...
  
  okay lang ba gamitin mga ito? kahit maging 'franken' PC dadatnan...
  (considering na bibili talaga nang converter dahil 6pin lang yung connectors nila)
  
  mas 'okay' bato na route comparing sa budget PSU's?
  (considering mahirap din for SATA power ports)

• awakeruze on 28 Mar 22 @ 03:57 PM #

  @ambad4u
  
  The PSU in my Elitedesk 800 G1 SFF (Core i5-4570) has a non-standard connector and only outputs 12V, even the standby voltage (ATX standard is +5V). Power is provided to SATA drives using voltage converters built into the motherboard itself, and a cable harness that has SATA power connectors at the other end.
  
  I've seen a Prodesk 400 G4 tower (Core i5-6500) with a similar design.
  
  In order to use an Elitedesk PSU with a regular motherboard, you'll need a way to output 5V and 3.3V just like a regular ATX PSU.

• ambad4u on 28 Mar 22 @ 07:08 PM #

  @awakeruze
  so 12v lang talaga those PSU's, and no 5v and 3.3v sources...
  noted...
  salamat!

• CrispyAtheist on 31 Mar 22 @ 09:55 AM #

  May mga Kilala ba tayong Tech na nag test ng quality ng PSU?

• XtraRice on 05 Apr 22 @ 04:37 PM #

  Got this really chunky power cord. 3 meters, 3 x 14AWG. Yung length lang talaga habol ko, bonus yung thickness.
  
  NEMA 5-15P to C13 ang search terms na ginamit ko. Puro 1.2 to 1.5m 18AWG lang ang lumalabas sa generic terms like PC power cable, AC power cord.
  
  
  
  
  

• RyuzakiL on 05 Apr 22 @ 09:55 PM #

  ^^ pabulong naman master kung san yang 14awg. Yan ang preferred gauge ko for my 2 psus

• lordseph on 09 Apr 22 @ 09:55 PM #

  Ako rin XtraRice, I'd like to know where you got it from!

• Godai_Yusaku on 09 Apr 22 @ 10:35 PM #

  Meron din nyan sa Deeco. Mga power cable for servers and rack mounted UPS doon ako nakabili dati. I used one to replace yung burned out power cable ng WT aircon ko dati with no issues.

• LeXafar on 12 Apr 22 @ 12:11 PM #

  Question: If my PSU is a Seasonic Focus GX-650 80+ Gold rated.
  
  So I still need a AVR / Servo AVR? Or a simple Extension cord is enough?
  
  The reason i need AVR / Extension Cord cause of 2 reason:
  
  1.) The Main Outlet isn't universal
  2.) Only 1 available Outlet to plug to power my whole system
  
  and also, I want my system to be sudden surge, power fluctuation and the likes. You can never be too safe.

• glenn2k3 on 26 Apr 22 @ 11:40 AM #

  ^ All you may need is a Panther extension with circuit breaker or surge protector...

• frankeedoodle on 26 Apr 22 @ 03:12 PM #

  A good avr na may power on delay. Kahit yung power on delay lang feature lang para sa mga instance na nag on off on yung kuryente.

• LeXafar on 28 Apr 22 @ 02:52 PM #

  @Sir glenn2k3
  
  Thank you for the feedback, tignan ko yan Panther brand.
  
  @Sir frankeedoodle
  
  Thank you also for the response, will look for AVR that in our local hardware store like A-Hardware if I can see available AVR with power on delay that fits my allotted budget

• fakuryu on 29 Apr 22 @ 10:06 PM #

  @LeXafar
  
  

  Thank you for the feedback, tignan ko yan Panther brand.

  
  
  Solid tong Panther, 1000W relay type yung gamit ko at Php2400 lang ang kuha ko sa LZD. Yung 1000W w/ power delay ay nasa 2.9K. Look for KKL Trading na seller para sure na legit, sa kanila ko din binili yung AC voltage protector ko.

• abracrypto on 09 May 22 @ 04:00 AM #

  Ano po pinakamurang true rated psu na pedeng ilagay sa AMD A8 7600 processor?

• axelangel007 on 09 May 22 @ 05:21 AM #

  buhay pa ba si johnny guru? nawala yung website nya about psu,hmm sino kaya pumalit?

• awakeruze on 09 May 22 @ 05:26 PM #

  @axelangel007
  
  AFAIK nasa Corsair si johnnyguru (Jon Gerow IRL) , head ng PSU R&D.

  active pa din minsan si johnnyguru sa forums ng linustechtips

  Maybe off topic
  
  PSU ko is seasonic gx 750. 3700x paired with rtx 3070. Now im thorn if ill go with the pure sine wave (Cyberpower 1500) or a reputable avr with surge protector would suffice? Di naman madalas brownout samin pag talagang may bad weather lang.

• tradcite on 30 Aug 22 @ 08:35 PM #

  mga sir, pa-suggest naman ng PSU for R5 3600 with 5700 XT. para kasing may tumutunog na sa PSU ko. gamit ko ngayon is EVGA 650G+ gusto ko sana mag try ng ibang brand. thanks!

• oonaakona on 31 Aug 22 @ 08:12 AM #

  Combo ng i5 12400F + RTX 3060 for Interior Design and light gaming, ano marerecommend nyo:
  
  CM MWE v2 650w Bronze
  FSP Hydro M Pro 600w Bronze
  FSP Hydro GD Gold 650w
  MSI MAG A650BN Bronze 650w
  Seasonic S12II 620w Bronze
  
  Ito yung mga pasok sa budget ng client.
  
  Edit na OT: Also, they require a UPS for each unit and eyeing the CyberPower 1050va. Ito din yung pasok sa budget. May mas okay pa?
