Never ever go for Intex 450W PSU

Never ever go for Intex 450W PSU

Intex is an Indian brand so there is no doubt that they manufacture one of the worst computer peripherals in India. But because of their heavily discounted pricing i am their latest victim which costs me around Rs. 11,000. So here goes my story

My previous PSU is manufactures by LG which failed one day but that power supply is definitely a good one and hadn’t given me a single problem since the purchase of my first desktop. Now i have no particular information about the various PSU manufacturers. As i want the cheapest solution so i decide to go with Intex 450W which costs me Rs. 550 This Power Supply works fine for the entire week and one day it became dead. After that i call my Intex service center and they replaced my power supply for Rs. 250!

Now on the same day of the installation of the second unit, my GPU ASUS 8600 GT and a WD 750 GB Hard Disk gone corrupted (dead). I had lost my entire data. This costs me around Rs. 11000 in total. I managed to get  RMA for my Hard Disk but my GPU is out of warranty which means minus 4000 Rs. which bring the entire loss to Rs. 7000. Even Rs. 7000 is a big loss to a common man.

Now i have learn a hard lesson that never ever compromise on Computers Power Supply Unit. Thank to god that my CPU and MOBO is safe otherwise these both are out of warranty for ages!!!

Afterwards i had decided to go with a premium PSU from Corsair that is CX 430 V2 with 80% efficiency and this one costs me around Rs. 2100 but relieved me from mental tension..

SO NEVER EVER GO FOR CHEAP PSU
