I have a Intel Core™ 2 Quad CPU. I was wondering what is the best power supply that can suit the processor. I was told the one I have; sucked. Who makes the best power supply?

Yup, I told him his is a POS.
list the rest of your hardware in your signature for us, please

This is the one I have and it is highly recommended around here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817139002

This one is very good as well: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817341002

Right on! Running the OCZ. Rig in sig Quad at 3.8 without any problems!

I have these among others;

OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W PSU
Corsair HX620w ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 620W PSU
Antec True Power Trio TP3-550 ATX12V 550W PSU


Stick with one from this thread; The Big Giant Power Supply Thread.

Sorry Lamont, but I won't help if you won't follow a few simple directions, like write a text signature for yourself as I suggested to you on msn.

Who is Lamont? My name is stinky.

Stinky, I told you about the signature rules, tsk, tsk, tsk

You told me that you bookmarked the rules link I gave you.

Everybody has to play by the rules, buddy, pal.

Signatures may not be larger than 650x300 pixels total. If you have an image that is 650x200, you may not add any text above or below that will make your sig more than a total area of 650x300.

How is that???

Better, thanks for your compliance, sir

The best are the higher end Seasonic.

a) No ripple.

Sick voltage regulation.

c) Always quiet. Not "POWER WHISPER TECHNOLOGY" as in it says quiet on the box but has a 2500 RPM fan.. but actually quiet.

d) No LEDs.

How about between these two guys:

Antec True Power Quattro 850W or Gigabyte Odin GT 800W

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gigabyte/Odin_GT_800W/

They are about the same price and I can't decide!

Just go with a Corsair or a PC Power & Cooling and be done with it.

Some reason I would go wit the Antec. For the looks lol.

I am happy with my ocz 700watt gamer x stream. Powers everything in my sig just fine no problems. Should be good when i upgrade to a dual core intel or the new quad core.

While all of the PSUs recommended are great...do you necessarily need "the best" PSU? What are you planning on doing with your PC? The system you have now will run fine a mid grade 500 watt PSU. Now, if you plan on over clocking and running some 8800s in SLI then you might need to buy a higher end unit. I see no need for you to spend over $100 for a PSU that will suit your needs. I don't see the point of buying a 700 watt PSU will you will only use half of it...

i wouldnt recommend the corsair. its a great PSU, i have one. but $170???? they sell here for 110 :confused:

Yeah, the prices on the Corsairs seem to have gone up (at least on newegg). I bought mine for about $120 I think.
