the bigger it is the better it looks...........

well 750 watt is just nice for most ppl, 860watt is even better for heavy users..........

shawty like the single so much hehe...... always promoting single rail psu

dunno how to buy the right psu?confuse with dual 12V la,24Amp la......bla bla bla...help me...

noob question,

how to identify single rail, dual rail?

if you see sth like 12V=50A, it is single rail.
if you see 12V1=20A, 12V2=20A, it is dual rail.

because single rail beat all dual , triple , quad rail.


the more the better .

Can take a look at my PSU guide... got some tips on buying a PSU too.....

how do i know the total power consumption of my pc as i'm using it?

last time there used to be a psu calculator to rate how much watts u need, dont know about now..

i just wanna know how much power used, coz now i'm using 8800gt on my cm380w psu, non-true power. 10A and 15A on dual rails is definately not enough isn't it? i played pes2008, and suddenly the graphics became distorted and then hang. but other games did not have such problems. after a driver update, everything seems to be fine. but i still dunno how if i game for long hours.

you should invest into better PSU if you can afford to.

The minimum requirement of the 8800GT is 400w with 26A on the 12v rail.

You PSU has dual rails and will probably have a total of less than 26A on the 12v rails...... You can't add 10A + 15A to become 26A. Look at your PSU's specification. It should tell what your amperage is on the 12v rail in total....

Anyway, your PSU doesn't meet the requirement on both aspects.... Better get a better one....

The 550w should be enough.... from his thread, he said it was truepower, meaning that it should be able to supply a stable continuous power at that range.... however, at that price, not too sure about the quality...

Look at my sig.... my rig is overclocked, and I'm using an Enermax Liberty 500w (truepower too).... so the 550w should be adequate for you rig....

thnx for the advice. from the feedback i read from his thread, seems that it's quite a reliable one. many forummers also using it. anyway i'll be getting it already, so hopefully it runs well..hehe

may i ask something, i'm noob in this PSU thing..
thinking to change my current PSU(refer sig) cz i think its not enough to power my system if i wanna do some OCing

between this two PSUs Silverstone SST-ST85F and Silverstone ST85ZF,
which one better cz both 850Watt..

need some advise.

p/s: forgive me if i asked in a wrong thread

Not too sure whether your PSU is adequate or not..... why not try using a PSU calculator to calculate....

Anyway, take a look at these links:

http://www.overclock.net/power-supplies/15...de-updated.html

ST85ZF is a tier 1 psu, which is definitely the best tier to go for.... but cost more...

ST85F seems to be a tier 3 psu....

I'm also a noob when it comes to PSU....

besides OCing, i want to CF my GC too. thats why i think my current PSU in not adequate.

so ST85F is not recommended for this purpose?

what about HX620Watt

Is the silverstone DA650 good? Or is the Olympia 650?

iinm there not much differ for both unit..base same pcb for both..jus DA abit longer,modular,using ADDA fan

The Diff between this 2 is DA is modular and OP is non modular. All made in Taiwan, so the price is higher and more reliable.
