DFi CFX3200 + Any X-Fi = Beep
Astennu replied to Astennu's topic in Processors, Motherboards and Memory
My sig is outdated. I'm not using the S939 anymore but the AM2 Infinity CFX3200. And i have the latest bios for that board. I also think its a Driver problem. I hope Auzentech will make there own drivers if not i will return the card and get a other audio board. Because i dont want an nVidia chipset and i dont want Creative's buggy driver anymore. -
Hello I have two motherboards: DFi CFX3200 Lanparty S939 and the DFi Infinity CFX 3200 AM2. Now i have an X-Fi soundcard. But when i'm playing games or brouwsing the net i somtimes get a beep out of my speakers that wont stop untill i reboot. I Swapped my creative X-Fi for a Auzentech X-Fi but the problem is not gone. So i guess its a problem between the Dfi motherboards and the X-Fi drivers. Because the Auzentech card is totaly different from the creative but drivers are almost the same. And my X-Fi did work at an other motherboard. Onboard sound works perfect. What have i tried: -Update My DFi bios to the latest version -Downloaded the latest audio drivers -Dissabled the onboard sound -Connect my Speakers True Analoge and not Spdif -Swapped my creative X-Fi for a Auzentech X-Fi -Tried an other PCI Slot -Dissabled all divices on the same IRQ -Cleaned my PCI connector -Reinstalled Windows XP -Disable any overclocking -Switched Video cards My Setup: AMD 5600+ AM2 DFi CFX3200 Infinity AM2 2x 1 GB TEAM xtreem PC 6400 HD2900 XT Auzentech Prelude X-Fi Coolermaster Realpower Pro 1000 Watt 4x WD 400 GB HD's I hope you can help me. Because i dont know where to look anymore. Best Regards Frank

Coolermaster Realpower Pro 850/1000 Is it good ?

Thanks for the Tip -

Astennu replied to Astennu's topic in Cases, Power Supplies and Modding
Ah thats nice. I will look for that one aswell. Maybe Corsair will also come with a 850 watt soon. I dont know there plans but the HX620 is a good PSU. But not for the Overclockers with Quad SLI / Quad Crossfire and stuff. And what do you guy's think about the: Tagan Voeding TG800-U25 Dual 800 Watt ? -
Coolermaster Realpower Pro 850/1000 Is it good ?
Astennu replied to Astennu's topic in Cases, Power Supplies and Modding
Is was quite a good review with multiple load tests. Multiple PSU's where tested in the same review. ( Shoot out ) And They did some extra tests. Whats with me And Coolermaster ? Well They have the connectors i want so see on a PSU ( The 8P PCI-E Connectors ) And they are affordable ( 190$ ). Enermax galaxy also has the connectors but that one costs 280$. I want to have a PSU thats future proof in the wattage and the connectors. But has to have very stable voltages aswell. And a Single 12v rail. Not many PSU's fit that profile. The Coolermaster could lack that single 12v rail. But i don't know for sure. But it does have the rest of the things i need. And many people tell the Coolermasters ain't that good. But don't they why they think that. And i have not seen people that have that Realpower Pro themselves only the older series. PCP&C PSU's are nice. But i cant get one where i live. I have to import one form america. + is does not have the 8P PCI-E Enermax Galaxy have some stability issues OCZ GameXStream seems quite ok. But has no 8P Connector Corsair HX620 that i have now is stable. I dont like the Modulair cables it has. And some say you should not use modulair cables at all. And again no 8P connector and low wattage ( 620 Max ) I would love to have a 850+. But maybe i just want to much. Or want it to perfect. -
Coolermaster Realpower Pro 850/1000 Is it good ?
Astennu replied to Astennu's topic in Cases, Power Supplies and Modding
Yeah the question is are these 6 Lines the same as the 3 Corsair lines ? Corsair say's 1 lines does 18a. But it was possible to pull 40a over a single line. So thats the big question. And i have not seen a review that tested the coolermaster in that way :'( -
I have bin looking for a new PSU. And thats a hard task. I already spend 8 hours of looking true forums and reviews. DFI Does not reccomand Coolermaster PSU´s to power DFi boards. I have looked for reviews of this PSU and all websites i have seen where very positive about it. It was very stable. And had a high output of power, and was using about 80/85% of its power. It also has 3 transformers where most PSU´s have 2. Some Specs: Model : RS-A00-EMBA Type : ATX Form Factor 12V V2.2 / SSI standard EPS 12V V2.91 Input Voltage : 90~264V (Auto Range) Input Current : 15A@ 115 Vac / 8A@ 230 Vac Input Frequency Range : 47~63 Hz PFC : Active PFC(0.99) Power Good Signal : 100~500 ms Hold Up Time : >17 ms Efficiency : >85% Typically MTBF : >100,000 hrs Protection : OVP / OCP / OTP / OLP / Short / Full Protection Output Capacity : 1000 Watts Continuous Max. Output Capacity : 1200 Watts Dimension : 150(W) x 180(L) x 86(H) (mm) Operation Temperature : 0~50℃(Nominal Input Voltage) Safety : CE / cUL / TUV / NEMKO / BSMI / FCC Why This PSU you might think ? Well. I want a PSU that spends its power well and thats not very expencive like the Enermax Galaxy or the PCP&C PSU's. And the biggest problem is i want a PSU that has the new 8P PCI-E 2.0 connectors that are needed to power the new ATi R600 cards. The new 1000 Watt model already has those. Many Enermax PSU's also have that. But the good PSU ( The Galaxy ) Is like 300$ and did have some voltage instability's. I cant figure out if this PSU is able to draw like 40A over a single 12v " rail" Like the Corsair HX620. ( this PSU has 18A lines but if needed it can also take the power from the other lines and combine it ) I have send a e-mail to coolermaster. But i had no response so far. So what do you guy's think about this PSU ? Or is there someone that has one ?

Very Good reviews to bad there is no Coolermaster Realpower there. But he has tested the Galaxy. And that one ain't perfect. It have some big voltage fluctuations on 100% load.

how i can identify a good PSU
Astennu replied to Astennu's topic in Cases, Power Supplies and Modding
I know. I will start with one. And later this year i will buy the new K10 Quad core. But that one is not available until Q3 ( for us normal users and tweakers ) Server version will be released in Q2. But i don't want to buy a new PSU every year. I want to keep it 2-3 years. My realpower 550 watt is only 15 months old. And already useless for a not even super high end setup. So i want to get i right this time. And for the full R600 experience you will still need that 8P VGA connector. -

Astennu replied to Astennu's topic in Cases, Power Supplies and Modding
I would love to see a 800+ Watt version with PCI-E 2.0 Connectors Thats the reason i'm gonna return the HX620 i have atm. Because i will buy one for two of these cards so my new PSU will need the 8P connectors. -
And the problem whith the coolermaster PSU's is that you cant have all that 12v power over one rail ? And Did you test the Galaxy and the Coolermaster Realpower Pro ?
-
You also said that a Corsair PSU has 2 Lines on paper but actually has one line. The Coolermaster PSU has 6 lines on paper so its possible thats its the same as the corsair in that way and that i would have combined lines. But i have read that the Galaxy is a PSU that really has 2 separate lines. 34a and 43A. ( thats what i found in Sluggo's topic ). And The coolermaster also has two of these transformers. I really wonder what reply i will get from coolermaster. I suspect that they wont tell.

I have found a PSU that also has 3 transformers. Its the Coolermaster Realpower 850: http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware...emba_psu/3.html I guess the two big transformers are the for the 12v lines. I have send a e-mail to coolermaster to ask if it has real split lines like the Enermax Galaxy: And here you have a Pic of a OCZ GameXStreme 850w: http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware...850w_psu/3.html With this info found i wonder why the Coolermaster Realpower Pro is not reccomanded in use with DFi Boards. Can anyone awnser that question ?

PSU requirements now lower with C2D?
Astennu replied to politbureau's topic in Cases, Power Supplies and Modding
Well The War for the Performance per Watt has started so i think new GPU's and CPU will not get higher power consumptions then they have now. Thats 130 watt for a CPU and 225 for a GFX card. I think GFX cards will use less power in the future. 225 watt per card is really insane. -

Astennu replied to politbureau's topic in Cases, Power Supplies and Modding
Well If you get liek 8 GB of ram or 2x R600 cards. And a 3e X1950 XTX for Physics you will need a lot more then that 720 watt. I think a R600 will use a bit more then a 8800 GTX. And a 3e GFX card will also use 100-130 watt again. So then you need 850+. And you can always add some extra HD's
