Hello all, just got myself a Sapphire HD4870. The requirement mentioned that I need a 500W PSU to have the GPU running.
I'm planning on getting the Cooler Master Extreme Power 500. Is this good enough? Or should I get something else?
My budget is below RM200 btw. Thanks!

Rm200 ? you wont get 400w right ?

alright , you can try out acbel e2 power 510w but if you want more reliable , ST50F is the choice , but its Rm269.

you get what you paid.

Well, I saw a Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 500W RS-500-PCAR going for RM 170 at Garage Sales

no extreme series , it will fail you.

thanks alot.

Hi guys, quick question here

Corsair TX 750w or Enermax Infinity 720w

Which psu will u vote? Will be using it for oc and perhaps 1 4870x2

of course TX750W FTW !

btw , whats your budget ?

seems like PC PnC Silencer 750W Quad Red cheap also , Rm585

Cosair TX750W all the way!!!! If budget allow i also want change my PSU soon then can SLI GTX280 /gg

You will regret if you buy the extreme power. Nowaday for stable pc u must use TRUE power la........othewise u will regret 1 day!!!

I am one of the regretted ppl. Now using Enernax FMA2 460W. Stable!! and recommended for those who opt for stable pc

My budget around rm700++ and i am wondering why enermax so expensive compare to other psu

750w enough to power up 2 gtx280 ka, always tot need 1k w baru enough juice

silverstone st56f, Corsair VX550 , and OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS, which 1 is better , need recommendation from u.

i'm using the silverstone st56f

haha but i not sure whether its enough to power your rig. lolz!

just recommending my psu!

okok....

the other is good.

VX550 or ST56F on par. but HX520 > ST56F as the +12v rail stability is superb

Looking for advise on choosing PSU on this SLI GPU
This is my Rig


M2N SLI Deluxe

8800GTS 320MB x2 (SLI) This is the older 8800GTS, not the revised one. Both cards are also the OC edition. (MSI)

AMD Athlon 64 x2 5200+

Corsair 2GB XMS2-6400 (RAM) (not sure that name is correct )

6 Hard Disc, 1 of them is a 10000rpm hdd

A DVD writer

A soundcard

Additional components would be like 2-3 fans, etc



I tried this site

http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

and it says I need 513W. Is this figure reliable? I need advice from the experts. TQ

One last word. Is it a good idea to SLI 8800GTS? I haven't bought the 2nd card yet, but if advisable, my friend who own the same card as I will sell it to me. So, 8800 GTS SLI, a good idea or not? TQ

CPU Model : Intel E8400
MB Model : P5K-SE/ EPU
VGA Model : asus 9600gt
Memory : 2 x 2gb corsair ddr2 667
HDD : Maxtor 1 x 160gb + 1 x 250gb
Fan casing: 2 x 120mm LED Cooler Master Casing Fan

if im correct CM 500W extreem power is about 380W of power. it shud b enuf for your system if you dont overclock it. good thing about 9600GT is that u dont need to have that much power to use the card.

if u wanna change to a new psu just get a ST506F around RM350(altho is kinda overkill for your GC)

ps: my sis pc is using 500w extream power with asus 9600gt(not the top and the 3 party fan version) and it works fine.

Thanks for advise..
But, How about the current. Do you think CM extrem power can give enough ampere? it was state minimum 400w power supply with 12V current rating 26A for recommended system requirements for this gpu. Actually i not understand how to find a PSU with this requirement. If i not wrong, CM extrem power only give me 12V with 18A.
