A powerhouse performance PC can require a solid power supply to back it up. Power hungry components can demand a lot from a power supply. These components soon alert the user to just how disgruntled they are by sudden reboots, crashes and the dreaded BSOD. The power supply is often the source of these problems. Tagan offers a solution with the 480w "Ultra-Silent" Power Supply to battle against "lack of power hell". Tagan confidently backs up their promise with a surprisingly long 36-month warranty.

    I had read many favorable reviews of The Tagan power supplies, which led me to purchase the TG480 back in July 2004. Shortly after installing it I had a brown out and my 700VA UPS was unable to power the computer. I began to email tech support concerning the problem. I sent several emails over a 6-week period with no response. Almost two months later they finally responded telling me that the TG480 needs 685 watts or at least a 1200VA UPS. So I purchased a 1500VA UPS by Powercom, from NewEgg. UPS power still will not work with this power supply. Many emails to Tagan since, the last one being on 10\06, I have yet to receive a reply. I feel I have given them more than enough chance to make good on a defective product. Buyer beware, your on your own if you purchase anything from Tagan.

    I just bought a Tagan U01 from Mwave. It is really a very nice PSU supporting SLI systems.

    I think the new Tagan U01 is an update version. Because the new U01 now has 2 6pin PCI-E connectors and 4 SATA, which its old version only has 1 PCI-E and 2 SATA. The 12V delivers sufficient 28A power which is well enough for my ASUS A8N-SLI system.

    I called Epower tech support and they updated their website immediately! Very impressive!

    There is another very nice feature which I liked a lot is the REMI Technology, a patented feature according to Epower. REMI is an EMI filter attached to the VGA power lead which lowers ripple noise and deliver clean current to high-end graphics cards...

    After I install it, this PSU is really quiet. You actually won't be hearing anything even in the quiet late nite. It states 21dB ~ 27dB in the specs which applies to the real thing.

    But later I found out [URL=http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=PS-480U01]eWiz.com[/URL] sells $9 lower than Mwave.. but anyway, Tagan U01 is definitely recommended to your gaming systems!
