davidhammock200 Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Hello ExRoadie, So I guess you are telling me that this wonderful supply or perhaps this marvel are going to make my rig more stable than an Antec TruePower 2.0 430W, OCZ PowerStream 420W, OCZ ModStream 450W or Seasonic S12-430HB 430W ??? Cool! Imagine all the money I could save by buying a "better" product That's Funny! :eek2: :eek: Use some common sense, you know, I know & everyone who "knows" PSU's knows, that any of the models you have listed, would have been rated at 480W's or more by "most" PSU companies. These companies & their excellent products are caught in a cache-22 & there is NOTHING that I or Exroadie or AG can do about it. Dave :angel: EDIT: The OCZ PowerStream 420W has a Peak Power Rating of 520W. The OCZ ModStream 450W, also has a Peak Power Rating of 520W. I don't know what the "Peak Power Rating" of the others. Please post with links if you find their "Peak Power Rating" published. Thanks, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rldolph79 Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Sorry about that...just finished up my signature. Let me know what you think my odds are of running non-overclocked with this Modstream. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidhammock200 Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I can not "officially" recommend any PSU that is advertised as having less than 480W. However as the Peak Wattage Rating is 520W & it has +12V@26A, it should be fine in any reasonable, non-SLI PC. :angel: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigWookie Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 I'm going to get a Ultra 4, and I'm wondering if this PSU will do the trick. THre are some nice reviews on it? Seems kind of inexpensive though .. thoughts please? My first PSU choice would the be the NeoPower 480W. http://www.slcentral.com/ultra-x-finity-600w-psu/page6.php http://www.bigbruin.com/reviews05/ultraxfi...ndex.php?file=1 http://www.3dgameman.com/vr/ultra_products..._review_02.html I guess it doesn't have a PCI connector .. as I have only AGP card right now, I'm not sure what a big deal that it is .. I have an FX53 CPU looking to get the EVGA 6800GT or Rosewill X800XL .. still on the fence with this choice. Antec 3700 Case in the mail Not sure of memory (I have some OCZ PC3500 EB) and CPU cooler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 First, go an post your FULL system specs in your signature. Go to User CP, athen to your left, click on the link "Edit Signature". Seeing as I have no clue what your mobo is, hard to suggest. But there are better PSU's out there to choose from at a better price for performance.

TheBigWookie Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 .... Seeing as I have no clue what your mobo is, hard to suggest. ... Scoot I'll fill out my signature when I actually get my machine set up. I am going to get a DFI NF4 Ultra D. The Antec NeoPower 480 is what I'm leaning towards, my friend keeps ranting about his PC Cooling 510 .. that is a lot of money for a PSU. I am building another rig, right now I have an ABIT NF7-S which I am giving to my kids. Things that I have already gathered for the new machine are .... FX-53 CPU, an Antec 3700, A07 Pioneer DVD, Lite On 5239 CD writer, 200 Gig WD IDE and going to get a FRY's special of a Seagate 300 Gig or Maxtor SATA HD, whichever is on sale. 1 gig OCZ PC3500 Plat memory. I have not decided on the CPU cooler .. though the Zalman 7700 or the ThermalBright XP90 looks pretty good right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
txmale36 Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 get the forton blue storm 500watts. i hate to see people get the bare minimum on psu's doesnt leave you much room for power hungry upgrades down the road. though i do understand staying with a budget is important.

TheBigWookie Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Forton 500W .. you have the PC Power & Cooling 510 SLI and you're recommending the Forton .. must be a decent enough PSU. Is there something wrong with the Antec NEoPower 480W? I was looking at the PC Power & Cooling 425 W model .. not sure if it would be adequate .. I know they do their ratings at 50 Deg C, so it is probably rated for as much power as the NeoPower, or the Forton 500W Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they do their ratings at 50 Deg C, so it is probably rated for as much power as the NeoPower, or the Forton 500W Remember DFI requires 24-pin native ATX & a min of 480W's. The Fortron Blue Storm 500W (460W really) is fine for most non-SLI set-ups, however the new Antec SP2 500W Modular is far more powerful & is cheaper, too.Details & links in post #1 of this thread. :angel: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
