Powmax psu

Does anyone know anything about powmax psu's

how about super flower or duro.

Can getting a power supply that is way more than is
needed be harmful?

A power supply will only deliver as much power as is
actually needed by the hardware. If you had a 5 KW power
supply and a standard ATX computer with a single hard drive,
CD-ROM and CPU and RAM, it would draw perhaps 150 watts.
The 4,850 watts of available PS capacity would just sit
there, doing nothing (except it did cost you a lot of
money).
If you had a 125 watt ps on that same computer that needs
150 watts, it will delivery 150 watts and run very hot and
perhaps burn up.

Good electrical design provides that a power supply be
capable of 125% of the power required to start and run the
computer. More power is required to start than to run
because the motors in the fans and drives draw more power as
they bring everything up to speed.

When you total up all the loads in your computer, USB ports,
hard drives, RAM, cooling fans, and what you might install
later, buy a ps that is 125% (or more) of the top number.

PS names I know, Antec, look on www.tomshardware.com for
reports on ps.
