Hi everyone,

I wonder simply this :
Which PSU is a good choice for AXT ; which one has a fine
reliability ?

A friend of mine recommended me Targan, he said to me that they are
often in industrial servers, what is a nice indication.

Can somebody help me, please ?

Thanks,
Aka

I wasn't able to find Targan, just Targus (sells external power
supplies for laptops) and Tagan. Tagan has been made by a couple of
different companies, including Topower and Impervio (the latter
recently merged with Enermax). Tagans used to be the best Topowers.

I would try to find something made by Enermax, Delta, Seasonic,
Enhance, Fortron-Source, or any company on the preferred list of
JonnyGuru.com . The actual manufacturer can usually be found at
UL.com (use the Exxxxxx file number) or CSA.ca (the Lxxxxx number),
but some companies, like Antec have their own numbers, even though
their products are made by Seasonic and Delta.

The most reliable PSUs will have capacitors made only by Samxon or
Japanese companies, but that information isn't available unless you
open the them or find the information from reviews at places like
XbitLabs.com, JonnyGuru.com, or HardwareSecrets.com.

I assume you meant Tagan. Targan make cases. Back in January I was looking
at buying Tagan's 1300W unit among other parts for a new build. The
enthusiasm when South when seeing Tagan's rather unique workmanship. (

1200W Thermaltake Toughpower. Not many people open their PSUs to judge the
workmanship. A few hardware review sites do. Perhaps it's pure coincidence
that this one PSU slipped through Tagan's QA and just happened to be the
one that was sent to HardOCP, but that kind of thing turns me off a company
for years.
