Angry_Games Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 i never recommend the 420w Powerstream on NF4's even though it works perfect because of the fact I *and our engineers* have made such a stance on minimum spec psu's. the 939 AGP is a completely different monster though. and keep in mind OCZ's 420w rating is pretty conservative...it peaks at 520w and its a real good, clean power signal...this 420w would probably eat most no-name 600w psu's and then some lol my old Enermax 300w is stronger than most 450w psu's this OCZ 600w is complete overkill for just about anything really the TT 680w is not really a good choice for NF4 because it just seems...underpowered then there's the PCP&C 850w SLI monster thingy that could probably power your comp...and your gf's comp...and your Xbox...and your guitar amp...

cmay119 Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 AG or anyone with a OCZ Powerstream PSU. My question is, are the rails setup perfectly for a stock system right away. What I mean is, I'm worried about buying a Powerstream with the +12v at something like 13.5v right outta the box and potentially harming my components. Do they come right away set at a steady 12v, 5v, 3.3v +/-5% where I don't have to worry about what "could" happen. Thanks for any replies. Also, I don't have a Multimeter to test my rails right now, but I'll get one if it's recommended. If I'm going to test voltages, where do I stick the leads for measurement? Once again thanks for all your help guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 If you have "shaky hands" or are just deathly afraid of getting your dlck knocked in your watch pocket, you can always get a set of non-conductive screwdrivers like TV repairmen have. I recently left mine at a customer site and when I returned the next day they were gone. I think I'll stop by the electronics shop tomorrow and pickup another set.

Nubius Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 non-conductive screwdrivers.....awesome...never even thought of that......I unfortunately do have shakey hand syndrome....as I fried my previous NF7-S v2 board while attempting the vdd mod.......the emberassing part is the mod didn't kill it.....me testing the mosfet leg with the multimeter tip did my damn hand shook and connect two of the legs and ZZZZZZZAAAP!! she was a goner, needless to say I haven't done any volt mods recently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremywills Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 well my dads the one with the expertise on electrical stuff so he can handle it for me, i wouldnt even know how to use all the controls on that thing anyhow, and the fact when I try and touch his stuff he gets all upset, apparently some of his stuff aint cheap, im assuming knowing him it cost well over a 100 bucks, why go and buy one though when he has a nice one already, and knows how to use it still nice suggestion on the plastic screwdrivers, or im assuming thats what they are made of Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
