fabiaN Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 No, but I'm giving this one to my father and I thought I might as well just get a better one for me since my system is better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Hey guys!I own the Coolmax 550w power supply and I was wondering if I should upgrade to the 700w OCZ GameXstream power supply? Any input is appreciated! I just got the 700w Gamer OCZ psu today...holy smacks man 4 separate 18A 12v rails...and it looks like a Fortron BlueStorm psu and it is fantastically quiet! I would get one easily...even the 600w GX psu... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Games Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 ya i just hooked it up to the CFX3200-DR rig: DFI Lanparty CFX3200-DR motherboard 3200+ Venice 2x1GB Ballistix PC4000 2x X1900XT Crossfire ATI 2x 80GB Hitachi SATA II RAID-0 Asus 52x CD-ROM Floppy booted right up, voltages are dead-on (12v on the bios reads 12.35, but the DMM shows 12.06, 5v shows 4.96 in the bios but the DMM shows 5.01, 3.3v shows 3.26v in the BIOS but the DMM shows 3.38v) nice and quiet (as soon as the damn Xfire turbines stop whining at full speed anyway...you can't hear a damn thing over them until the drivers finally kick in lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing important, just curious to what might be the difference between them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
