michaelzhao Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 The timings on PC4000 are looser than PC3200, however its faster and has more bandwidth than PC3200 so its still faster. I would recommend you get the Expert if you go Nvidia and the 3200 if you go ATI. I would get a Opteron 146 for overclocking. I would get a different PSU. Look on the Recommened PSU Thread (search the forums for it). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelzhao Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I dunno about that if its not on the recommended list. You may want to post another thread asking specifically for the PSU or if you have a multimeter/voltometer you can actually measure your 12V rails. Rosewills are advertised as 12V but sometimes run as low as 11.45 (NOT GOOD!). Like I said, I would ask if anyone has any experience with this PSU. The Expert board is extremely demanding and very picky of PSU's. It may very be a great PSU. But I can't judge. Hopefully someone else has more experience of this PSU.

SeanDude05 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 6Amps on that third rail is going to hurt if you decide on any high-end video cards. CoolerMaster isnt recommended because they've flat out lied about their specs in the past. And 12 amps on each of the other 12V isnt good if you have a lot of hardware. I'd also recommend the PC4000 if your going to overclock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidds Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Hey! Thanks for the answer! Anyone can tell me, how its divided 12v. rails on PSU??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanDude05 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I cant find any information, but I can tell you that it says it is SLI ready even though it only has 30 AMPs. Nvidia Recommends a minimum of 34AMPs for SLI, so you can see it is already lacking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelzhao Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 If you do decide to get a new PSU. The Street really like the OCZ GameXStream 700W. If that is too pricey, then the OCZ 600W should fit the bill nicely. My personal favorite is the Seasonic 600W because I'm really into quiet computing.
