DevilDriver Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Im getting ready to buy a new case from newegg. wile they dont say any thing other than it includes a 420w psu, the Raidmax site says it is a P4 ready psu. will I have any problems using it with an AMD?

Byron Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 What they mean by it being "p4 ready" is that it has the 4pin p4 mb connector for p4's. So Yes, it will work with an amd setup, you may or may not use this 4 pin connector. Personally, My giga-byte board has one even though it is an amd board :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkev715 Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 The included raidmax PSU's are totally crap. Do yourself a favor and buy a separate PSU. How much is your spending limit for a new PSU if you were to get one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDriver Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Im on a very strict limit. the only reason Im getting a new case is because my HP doesnt have room for a dif motherboard. If the raidmax psu works, Im sure its bound to be a bit better than the 218w psu in my HP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eva_Unit_0 Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 If you're on a tight budget, then the stock psu will be fine. Raidmax isn't too bad...at least they have a brand name, lol. I only start to get worried when there IS no brand name. The psu may not have the best rails, but it will work fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Most ps are P4 ready and most AMD users just roll up the extra wire on top of the PSU or like me cut all unwanted wires Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
