Dfi and enermax problem

[dr1Zz]

i RMA'd and am thinking of picking up the FSP FX700-GLN quad rails and $170. i wanted modular and future, but, i guess the tech hasn't caught up yet. The Silverstone Strider i believe is quad rail too, but, FSP is a solid PSU company so i think i am gonna go that route. From everything that i read (wish i did it befire i bought the liberty) is that there is a load balancing issue with dual rail PSU's. that said single rail and quad rail(better balanced) have a lot better time operating at good levels. Supposedly you hafta load the 3.3v, and the 5v rails to a balance with the 12v rail on the dual rails which is straight up retarded. anyway, GL whith your next choice..

 

 

 

Edit: little review of the FSP along with the liberties

I had "initial" problems with my enermax liberty 500w

but showed up to be a rookie error from my side as i did not connect

the 4pin P4 12v connector as i could not find it, the board did not boot.

Found out later that the 8-pin connector was "splittable" and i connected

it and it worked 100% rock solid ever since, doing Opteron 165 @ 2,7Ghz

on water and the PSU is the most silent iwe ever owned! QUALITY!

:drool:

Can you put a image of your mobo to see the conections?

I remenber a thing, with levicom i don´t need the extra power connections(hdd&fdd molex) to run. Could be posible that with enermax need this extra connections to run??

There are 4 connections you MUST make: 24 pin power, 4 pin power, 4 pin molex, 4 pin floppy.

 

you 4 pin power connector is the 8 pin which splits in half. You have a modular cable which has both the 4 pin molex and 4 pin floppy connectors on it that you will need as well.

[Isildur]

:eek: Could be that??? With levicom run well without floppy and hdd...

Well, most likely its that, in _my_ case i was CRAZY no boot, i didnt think

not connecting the P4 connector would make a diff, but it made ALL the difference.

So now u know i have enermax 500w and it was a boot - no boot difference.

good luck

I see some users with this problem with liberty. Im waiting for Rma´s unit to try again. If don´t works fine, are the enermax noisetaker 600w a good change or this psu have the same problems?

Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by, "i didnt think not connecting the P4 connector would make a diff,".

 

The P4 power connetor provides current directly to the CPU power circuits. It is a required connection just like all four power connections on these motherboards.

My issue is different, i have a cheap psu that with 24 and p4 connections runs solid rock with mobo, cpu, 2 dvd units, 1 hd 200gb sata, 2x 120mm fan, 1x140mm fan, and overclock without problems, and enermax no even trying with fdd and hdd.

Im waiting for rma to know whats the problem.

My liberty 620 w is great. No problems so far
