Rezag1000 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 I know this PSU does not meet the minimum suggestion of 480w, but it appears to be good. It has 2 12 rails with 18A on each. So,what do you guys think? thanks!! http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp...N82E16817103459 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostock62 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Enermax is a good power supply but for another $17 you can get the EG495P-VE SFMA and be in the requirment size.It has dual 12 rails. http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp...N82E16817103457 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezag1000 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 well, I am on a tight budget, so I would really like to go with the 420w. At the moment, all it will have to support is 1 hard drive, mobo, cpu, 1 cd-rw, and a 6600gt. Do you guys really think that the 420w PSU will give me problems?

SoMiss2000 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 I was on a budget to until I bought the Ultra-D without doing proper research. I'm seeing that my build will be pushed out til mid summer. I've had to throw the word BUDGET out the window, and buy one piece at a time to make my rig more affordable. It allows me to spread the cost out over time.

doom44 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Rezag1000, I have this very supply...the side of the psu reads 15A on rail 1 and 14A on the other..I cannot say for sure at this point in time but...I (and others) suspect it may be the cause of my no boot w/ATI 9800 problem. do a search and read my "adequate power supply thread" Rgone is testing my 9800 in his rig to eliminate the possibility of this power supply not cutting the mustard. stay tuned Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewski Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 the picture does say total 12v = 29A so maybe there was some misprints on that label in the picture . . . i agree with the other recommendation. eat Ramen for a week and upgrade your PSU!!

Rezag1000 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 would a modstream 450w be much better? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostock62 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 No. Them 6600 & 6800 GTs use up lots of juice.For the matter of a few $$ you can realy be looking for future trouble. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaDa Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 No. Come again? Powerstream/Modstream psu's are the best you can get atm =/ (and I blew up an enermax already) (no offence intended ofcourse) They're not only more stabile, they're also a lot more silent .. And them cables are really neat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And them cables are really neat Iam not talking about the quality of the OCZ power supplys.If you look in my sig you will see iam using a Powerstream 520.Iam talking about the size,with a NF4 motherboard and a GT VCard a 420W or 450W PS is going to give you the best performance.You buy what you want,myself and others are just giving there advice & OP.

Rezag1000 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 the 6600 gt dosen't even have a additional power connector. It gets all its power from the PCI-E port. All the hardware the PSU will have to support for now is: AMD 3200+ 512 MB OCZ RAM 6600 GT DFI-nForce 4 ultra-d 80 GB sata HD samsung cd-rw I would think a modstream is enough.
