Angry_Games Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 i have two of the Chieftec dragon cases and they are my second favorite cases ever. they used to be my first favorite until I splurged for this Coolermaster Stacker case lol. but the chieftec psu's stink really....good for AthlonXP and P4 but not good at all for the AMD setups nor the new LGA775 P4's.

Mord Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 OK's men.Happy that you helped, but still - do you think that 460W Fortron is not capable of feeding this baby? @Angry_Games: Nice aren't they... I don't know in general, but this is the best here in Bulgaria... And btw, I don't have to buy the chasis w/ the PSU - I can speak to the guys and take the case only.10x men!I was very troubled when I saw all the recommendations for Enermax and so on. And btw take a look at this: http://bachu.dir.bg/fsp460/d460_idle.jpg http://bachu.dir.bg/fsp460/d460_full.jpg http://bachu.dir.bg/fsp460/460_idle.jpg http://bachu.dir.bg/fsp460/460_full.jpg It's the Fortron 460W!!! And with this fortron I'm feeding: DFI LP NF4 Ultra-D@SLI, 2x ASUS 6600GT @ 615/1200- Peltier Cooling, 1xCDRW, 1xDVD, Audigy, 1x200GB HDD, 1x160GB HDD, 9x80mm FAN's - w/ LEDs, 3х neon, и 2x80W Peltier - well they are not x80W because it's on the 12V, and they are for 14.5V. And the guy continues: How's that for ya?!Bet you that any Antec Tru 550W (I've had one and know its power) would fold into two!

Frallan Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Well U have a classic issue of money saving vs. quality. I do not recommend the 460 but it is possible that it will work. However there is also a pretty big chance that it wont. If it doesn't U will have to sell the 460 take a loss on it and buy a 550 any way. Saving another week or two will brobably make up the diffrence between the PSUs and it will probably (not certain) cost less in the long run. :dog: I believe in getting high quality things bc then I know that when it doesn't work something is broken. :dog: GL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 That's what I thought, so thx for the courage to invest in the 550W. But what I was concerned about these pics, and I know the guy very well - he's not cheating or something - he's like a guru here, especially about the PSU's, the VGA's and CPU OC'ing. Look for acdc's score here (3rd place in the 6600 chart): http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=847136 And this is only a quick test of the card - all in all the max he could get for about 2hrs of tweaking the system (fsb, multi, vga, not the ddr)...

d3fc0n5 Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 y isnt this Threhd a sticky anymore also i got my Thermatalke W0057RUC today and ive got to say its a very nice PSU. the 12v rail is holding true at about 12.20-12.18 at idle and full load. but the 24pin taht plugs into the PSU is a very thight fit took me 5 minutes to get it seated right. maybey you should add this PSU to the list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
