vujacar777 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Erm kinda still not decided about PSU final question: Cooler master Silent pro 850W 150Euros or Cooler master Silent pro Gold 800W 160 Euros considering this one as in store that I will be getting case and psu I will get 3% discount on both articles so if this one is better id get it. And they don't have Silent Pro 850W in that store. Planing to run crossfire in some near or maybe not that near future. I have been boring with this PSU questions, I know. But what to do.

Definitely the GOLD! More efficiencyt and quality, and you dont need more than 650W for crossifre (except for two dualgpu cards) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyDeath Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Ehhhh for crossfiring a 6850 or higher (5870, 6870, 6950/6970) card I wouldn't go lower than 750 with 80+ rating (though silver is preferred). Even for a gold certified unit, 700w would probably be the lowest I would consider myself. Worth noting that AMD doesn't certify a single supply below that for crossfiring those cards I listed (the Silent Pro Gold 700w is the lowest I could find). http://support.amd.com/us/certified/power-supplies/Pages/listing.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think a 650W would suffice for crossfire 6950 or something similar. One of many reviews that say the same, btw 6850 crossfire is doable on a 400W PSU not that i would ever recommend it...

vujacar777 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) So...it was like year ago when i started my upgrading. And its pretty much done now. So just a pic or two for you to see the progress So it went from worse than this, but at that time i didn't took a picture so...it went from kinda this.. to something like this.. It's not high-end but its way more awesome than year ago Rig needs a SSD and I need a decent monitor to finalize the build Edited August 22, 2012 by vujacar777 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
