Is Silverstone 400W good at LYN bulk?12V1 with 14A (Max) and 16A (Peak) is it a total of 30A or 12V1 14A 12V2 15A and total 29A?

Between this 4 Enermax Liberty 400W, Enermax FMA II 460W and Silverstone 400W, Fortron FSP SAGA 400W, which is worth your wallet?

For me is Silverstone. Cheapest and good + reliable!!

QUOTE(hongchiang @ Jan 25 2007, 04:33 PM)

i am using a PSU with single +12V rail with 22A only. Then the total Watt is 460Watt.
For my rig in my signature is it enough to support that?
because sometime i having instability of my pc, restart, hang..
checking whether is PSU problem ..

Good enough. But AirZeon is almost same like i-Cute actually.

But i think it can be PSU prob.. becoz Airzeon is almost like iCute.
Siaverstone 400W, Rm 200 is a better choice.
Your 'not stable ' means frequent reboot pc??

I think still cant support. If 500 maybe can. Sorry I'm not so good in this

but based on your specs and 400W seems too low. Check out zamree7 and jy14 bulk. Silverstone 560W RM349 if I'm not mistaken

Kunyit: Based on basic calculation, your system already take up 487W, I take granded that you have 3 80mm fan in your system without water cooler and PSU less than 1 years old which isn't 24/7.

As a word of advice, at least get a 550W, or you risk random crashing which might damage your system when PSU overburden.

note:GTS is the one using dual 6 pin power molex or the GTX one?

Ya, you PSU is overloaded...change it fast...btw, before you able to get the new PSU, change your proc to stock clock, from calculation via PSU calculator, your OCed proc use up to 130W which is about double of the power it use on stock...correct me if I am wrong...

Could be not your PSU fault, how old is your PSU, your C2D rig only require 322W as basic setup, your 500W PSU should able to support it.
