Is FSP Hexa 500W enough to power up my current spec and future upgrades?
Current rig: i5 2300 4x2GB RAM P67 ATX Mobo GTX660 3 hard disks 4-5 LED fans Future upgrade: Xeon 4x2GB RAM Z77 mATX Mobo GTX660 2 hard disks 2 LED fans Currently using Tagan 700W, but I'm thinking of downgrading it coz I don't think I need that much power. Saw Xigmatek Tauro 500W selling for quite an attractive price too. Is that a good choice? |

Well, theoretically yes, a good 550W power supply can support two HD7850's power consumption along with the rest of your system's components, but to be safe, get a power supply with a capacity of at least 600W. |

QUOTE(ntw @ May 7 2013, 12:30 AM) link to back my statement, no. but seasonic psu received high ratings nowadays We knew already regarding seasonic reputablility.But,do you know about Intel Haswell's Zero Power States?and in case you refer to sales thread, here it is QUOTE The 4th generation Core processors have new C6 and C7 power states that require your PSU supports a minimum of 0.05 amps on the 12V2 rail. That minimum is well below the previous minimums set by the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors, and is not supported by all existing PSUs. The reality is, if your PSU doesn’t have support then a Haswell chip could make your entire system become unstable unless you disable those low power states. |
