alright.. thx for the advice guys..
hehe

Need some advice

My system
C2D E6550
Intel G33 mainboard
2x 1GB DDR2 RAM
2 hard disk, 2 fan

I currently have an Acbel 450W PSU
Combined 12v rail output 25 Amps


Can that PSU take a 9800GT or 9800GTX+ on my system ?

I think the 98 GTX+ pulls about 13-14 amps, but I'm not sure how much amps the other components use on the 12v rail.. and also how good this Acbel PSU is, though it does weight heavy and cost my RM300 plus when I bought it some time ago.

Thank you

better you upgrade psu 550watt & above..for lifespan your hardware..

Its easy, you can calculate the power consume by your h/w and then look for a PSU that have a sufficient 12V rail output for you.
I have update the calculation on 1st page

C2D E6550
Intel G33 mainboard
2x 1GB DDR2 RAM
2 hard disk, 2 fan
9800GT or 9800GTX+

Your current PSU 12V output is 300W, if your setup need more than that, then you need to change to a higher output PSU.
Simple as that

First of all, thanks for the replies

You mean, most of the system power is being used from the 12v rails?

Hey guys, thinkin of gettin a desktop with following specs :
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHZ
ATI HD4850
2x2GB DDR2 1066MHZ RAM
Seagate 7200RPM 500GB HDD
Asus P5Q PRO or MSI P45 Platinum motherboard
22x DVD-RW optical drive

Is a 500W power supply enough, or need 550W.

you need at least 550watt true power & above bro...

thanks for the fast reply bro.. among this 2 power supply i mentioned earlier.. which one is better for $$ bcos both of the price are quite similar

Edited: the calculation shows 351w.. and will the CM extreme power 500w sufficient for it ?

hi,

i'm configuring a rig of:
cpu - intel i7 920
mobo - GB EX58 extreme
ram - 3x1g xms3 or dominator
gc - 9800gtx

the pc is for high productivity & usage.
i have a choice of:
1) corsair hx620 )
2) corsair tx750 } price range rm 500-600
3) GB odin pro 800 )

please advise if they're sufficient or not, and which is better or suggest other.
thanks

go for GB odin pro 800

thanks. i read a lot of nice review of hx620. not sure bout GB's experience in psu though..

please advice. thanks.

tx750 would be the best among the three cos it has a big fat amperage on 12v+ rail......n the price shud be around rm500..if i not mistaken last heard was someone getting it for rm 490

gb is ok with their psu...but the odin is quad rail...so choice is urs

single rail is much better isit??n why r??can sumone explain..
