Hey guys.

I my old motherboard, an ASUS A8V Deluxe, and the power supply for it, an Antec TP II 430, died, in fact, I tested the supply as possibly being the reason for the failure.

I have an AMD Athlon 64 4800 Toledo and A pair of Team Xtreem Cronus Micron 5B-F DDR-500 2 x 1GB RAM.

I will be getting a new DFI Lanparty board, probably the UT nF4 SLI-DR to rebuild the system and when I get my warranty replacement parts I will sell them hopefully.

But here is the thing:

I want a supply that won't fail and fry my system again if possible, that will work with the DFI Lanparty motherboard in SLI but in the future support a quad core Core 2 based system in SLI with DX-10 cards, fairly good ones such as maybe even the 8800 series.

I am not aware of what the minimum, amp rating to support 8800 video cards is, do any of you know?

These are the supplies I am looking at, sorry it is a long list, but this is an important decision for me:

As you can see, they go up in price, but are the expensive ones worth it or even necessary?

Sorry to ask you all to look at so many of them, but this is such a hard choice...

Looking through here will simplify your needs. Make a sig so we can help you better and comment on the options. I know you mentioned your hardware but it is a rule.

Signature made, but will need to be updated upon build as system doesn't really exist right now as it was torn down due to fried supply and system board.

I hope some of you might offer opinions of those supplies if you don't mind taking the time. I do know it will take some time, sorry about that...

If you look through the link I provided this is highly recommended and at the top list.

Good Luck,

signmeuptoo, darn I hate the way you did that and you are not the only one who does it. I would have to open up everyone of those blasted links to see what you are talking about. A little description would help.

Don't wish to be mean ....

I apologize, should I amend it and copy and past the name of each? The thing is if I do that people might not look at the specs of each. I sure didn't want to irritate you...

LOL, don't worry about me. Actually I was just trying to help. I think you would get better response. You have the best of the best looking at it and responding right now anyway. (apparently they had time on their hands to open all those links:))

If you wanted, you could just edit your post and add the descriptions ... only if you want to ... no big deal.

Best of luck with that project.

I'd listen to the Guru here.:nod: I myself have the #3 and it rocks my 8800GTX/C2D.

Well, if I can scare up the change I am getting the PCP&C Silencer 750 I think. Only thing it lacks is a Power supply fan wire and a second floppy connector for the motherboard, but that is easy enough to solve with an adapter...

Do any of you have the PCP&C Silencer 750 Copper? Is the non copper any different? Why does it have only 3 years warranty when some other models have 5?
