Angry_Games Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 modstream 450w = you aren't even going to buy a minimum required power supply (480w, native 24pin, 28A on the 12v rail for single gpu, 34A on 12v rail combined for SLI) and you gonna put all that in your rig? you need to read this: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...75&postcount=13 then read the sticky at the top of this section about psu's on DFI NF4 boards.

davidhammock200 Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 1. I was thinking about buying the Zalman 7700-AlCu for about 45ish. I've heard this heatsink is good and I was wondering if their is something else, maybe cheaper? I know cheaper and better doesn't go together, but i was thinking about maybe a 35 dollar thermaltake heatsink or something?Try the XP-90 for $25 at SVC & a 92mm Panaflo 48/57/68 CFM fan. 2. RAM: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15719 4. If you stick to the recommended parts, you shouldn't have any problems. Ther is more help here than anywhere else. 5. I recommend either the Seagates or the Hatichi HDD's. Good Luck, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 does it have to be the Modstream? they are good...but we generally prefer Powerstream line of OCZ psu's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blooz1 Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 People here have had excellent results with the Patriot XBLK's - here's a thread with real world results people have had with the XBLK's; http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread...ht=Patriot+XBLK The OCZ's linked in David's post are one of the "favorites" here - very good!

loc.o Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Ive got the Modstream 520. Its just fine and rails are ok, but if I was getting a PSU today it would deff be the Powerstream. The adjustable pots can be very usefull and i would like to have them. Second reason is the looks, whoever thought the light blue on the cables looked nice should be fired today...

teknical Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Might check Newegg's prices on these componets http://www.newegg.com/ yep i did all of that, newegg has VERY nice prices, but it is bad when you order over $1,000 worth of parts with TAX =/ that adds about another 50-60 dollars to the total.....
