The new Cooler Master V750 with 100% Japanese caps:

Panasonic capacitors as the main hold up capacitors, with Chemi-con, Rubycon, Suncon (Sanyo) electrolytic capacitors.  There's also an Unicon polymer capacitor on the PSU as well.  Unicon is a lesser known manufacturer of capacitors for your information. icon_idea.gif

You'd need a quality 550W to 600W unit, though the problem is your PSU isn't exactly a good one... sweat.gif

Zalman PSU is crap. Made by chinese OEM. I suggest getting Antec HCG or Seasonic S12 II 620W at RM299.

Dont ask. Just buy. They can compete with all the high grade manufacturers.

How much is it? Do you have the full model name of it? I don't trust Xigmatek PSUs.

Nice price but it's made by Andyson.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-...ds,3762-10.html

I wouldn't bet on them because it has zero Tier 1-3 models manufacturer.

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-180...-tier-list.html

It should survive 550W of punishment though. It's entirely up to you.

Just not recommended to push more than 550W for lower grade PSU. It's fine running your HD6950.

wattage is just one part. a typical user won't even reach 400w, even with 250w card and 100w cpu.

the issue is more about constant load, in some cases even running a burn in test on graphic card alone would trip the PSU.

RM 150 PSU, regardless of what brand, I wouldn't dare to put them on 24/7 full load like say folding@home and such. nothing more than gaming.

Which is why lower load % helps the lifetime of it. The PSU runs cooler.

Most cheap PSUs using lower grade parts already reduced the lifetime. Keeping it cooler helps.

Hi guys, first of all apologies for this super noob question. I am thinking about upgrading my GC. Right now, I'm using Gigabyte GTX670OC. Im planning to get the Zotac reference GTX970. Based on this 2 cards, if I were to swap them, do you think I need to change my power supply as well? Thank you.

Don't need. GTX970 consumes less power.

Hi bro,

Seems you are an expert in PSUs judging from your posts here tongue.gif

Can you help to recommend a PSU for me based on this thread?

My desktop is for surfing net and torrent usage. No gaming. Max run from morning until night, no overnight.

Thanks.
