Shadowfactor Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) I need a PSU with Sleeved cables that will handle Oc'ing and stuff like that.... It will need to be able to run 1 dvd-rom , 1 cd-burner , like 12 cases fans, and like a 40 gig HDD and my sig.... I will be using this to OC my Opteron and well I know that my generic POS wont oc worth a dime soo ya.. So far people have told me OCZ Modstream 520 Enermax 500 Liberty ( does this have sleeved cables....)

Guest Raven65 Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Stay away from used, you don't know what you'll be getting. So save up another month or 2 and get something new. New=warranty, tech support and rma. Used= someone elses problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeo55 Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 sorry but the x-connect is bad too... i have it now and its given me nothing but problems Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfactor Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 It still has a blank warrenty card so it will come with the Powersnap stuff.... But Which one is better for me or should I look at different models.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 I would also stay away from used. 40 Bucks, Hrmm, the best one you could get is probably the 400W 39.99$ Fortron. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archerzz Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 save your money and get something from targan, but dont by used. As stated above you never know if your buying a pos psu. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfactor Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Just on a side note , I wont get a used one , But I found a OCZ modstream 450 watts for 39.99 plus 10 for shipping on ebay.... SO should I go with the X-connect 500 Watt for 29.99 ( brand new) the OCZ modstream 450 watts for 39.99..... ( brand new but ends very soon so quick replies would be great!)

Shadowfactor Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) well unless I can find another PSU for around 40-50 bucks that would be better , then yaa those are my options Edited December 29, 2005 by Shadowfactor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkev715 Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 You have a system with very expensive hardware... yet you decide to go cheap on your PSU??? I don't understand the logic there... please explain it to me... If you absolutely have to go cheap on a PSU that OCZ Modstream 450 might be ok for stock speeds, but beyond that keep a eye out on your voltages with a Digital Multimeter. My advice: Save up $80-100 so you can get a way better PSU. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 I totally Agree, while I usally don't stress how much someone should spend, Because I don't know of their situation. I will in this case and reinforce kevs statements. If theres one thing in your computer that should have some thought and reasearch put into it, its the power supply. Ive seen to many threads on others forums where the problem was tracked down to a bad or insufficent power supply. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The enermax 500w liberty is 109 @ newegg. it's worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
