red930 Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Definitely need to get 2Gb of RAM for BF2. It makes a world of difference! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipper_cr Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Yeah i deffinately need 2 GB. Its on my list of things to do but the PSU was the first, which is my still pending question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Have you checked the voltage rails on the PSU to make sure they are all within acceptable tollerances? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidhammock200 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Yeah i deffinately need 2 GB. Its on my list of things to do but the PSU was the first, which is my still pending question.That Aspire is a total POS, it couldn't put out +12V@34A (within spec) if your life depended on it! :shake: PSU Brands to Avoid! http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29248 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipper_cr Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Well i mean it powers 6 harddrives, a X850XTPE (heavly overclocked), An Audigy 2ZS Plat, 4 sticks of overclocking memory (2.9volts), 3 optical drives, 2 sets of 2 cold cathodes, 3 .33 watt 120mm fans (radiators) 12v, some case feet and case fans. It can allow the processor to go up a bit. So by itself its a good power supply. Rails are where they should be. I love the look of it and the sleeved cables. Anyways i do want to do some more overclocking because even with my cooling i cannot get that high because of voltage. So you say to stick with single 12V rails for powering the power hungry P4Es? Im debating between the OCZ and Antec one. Which would be better or does it really matter? In short: Will one power the processor better than the other? Edit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817711002 does this have PFC? Its not listed but i assume a PSU below and above it have active PFC this should have it.

davidhammock200 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Why do you want active PFC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipper_cr Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 I didnt say i did... I just asked if it does for my curiosity. Would the PSU i listed do the job? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidhammock200 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 I didnt say i did... I just asked if it does for my curiosity. Would the PSU i listed do the job? Sure, there is very little that an OCZ PowerStream 520W can't handle, that is why it is my #1 recommendation! :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipper_cr Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Looks like im going to get that beast. It gives me 20 watts more power but from what ive read, Aspire seems to be really not liked for powering... Weird. Like i said, i havent had a single problem with it and i love the look of it. Just cant get it to power my CPU enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewer265 Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Im putting my new board in tommorrow and am wondering if the Antec NeoPower will be enough for over-clocking? I would like to get to 3.8ghz with 1:1 ratio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oshunluvr Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 I have the same PSU and I'm running 2 cdroms, four (now three) hd's, overclocked nvidia 6600, ati tv tuner card, and running two external fans and a water pump for cooling. No PSU issues overclocked from 3.2 to 4.25 so far. I have seen some variations in the 5 volt but that was before water cooling.
