Foramorm Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 This Christmas I'm overhauling my computer with a WC set-up and a new power supply. The WC'ing is sitting on my work-bench, waiting to be put it. But I have a question about my power supply. Right now I'm running: Intel P4 3.4 ATI 800XL 256 2x512 Corsair XMS SB Audigy 2ZS DVD burner, etc. I'm looking at the 510 Turbo Cool Delux, but I was wondering if I should just go ahead and buy the Turbo Cool 510 SLi. Its not a big decision, but everything seems to be going the way of SLi, and it would be stupid to have to turn around and drop another 200 on a PSU in 6 months. Not really a life or death decision. I know everyone loves PCP&C, and they make the "OMG BEST PSUzzz EV4RRR" .. but does anyone have personal experience with either model? Any problems?

IUMaestro Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 I got one to see what they were all about and wanted to use my Antec for another rig.. my voltages are alot better, but my system still feels the same.. a decent PSU is a good thing, but it's a personal choice.. if i had to do it over again i might have spent the extra elsewhere.

Foramorm Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 My current PSU scares me, and I'm afraid to mess around with voltage on anything. The extra 100 bucks really doesn't bother me, I don't have much I could spent it on, short of saving it for a new video card. What kind of Antec PSU do you have on your other rig?

hardnrg Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 i think mine arrived today (sli version), i'll have to check reception and let you know... Antec Neopower 480W -> PCP&C 510 SLI/Express also my dad is bringing over a 170 opteron today... that's why i upgraded my psu, because the power consumption of an oc'd dual core is quite substantial... also, the way pcp&c rate their psu's it's more like a 650W psu apparently... edit: yes! it arrived... and so did my swiftech rad barbs!
