QUOTE(parezz @ Jan 24 2009, 03:56 AM) Guys!! Not adviseable... Cap ayam not recommended for cards like HD4850. I have cap ayam I Cute PSU wiz 2*12+ bring means 15a*2 ,180w each . So i got 30a .. Can i use HD4850? lets say i cabut all fans, neon everything.. can i?  QUOTE(beast921 @ Jan 24 2009, 08:59 PM) All the while the SST560W were running fine, without any problem, out of the sudden one. in the mid day, PC just shut down by its self. Have you tried running the machine without the UV CCFL lights? then try to boot up, cannot. The green led light at the mobo (intel DG31PR) are on. even without switching on the pc. Switch everything off, waited for 5 minutes, then power up the rig again. Switch on, all fan running, all UV CCFL show uv light, then less than 15 second, my rig power down itself again. later than tried to power up again , cannot anymore (its show sign of trying to power up the rig less than 3 second than its just died) Waited for another day, try the same method again, same result, its power up than less of 15 second its just die, tried to switch on the rig, less than 3 second its tried to power up the rig then it die.  QUOTE(beast921 @ Jan 24 2009, 08:59 PM) I dont really want to open up my SST560W coz its still under warranty. I just want confirmation from others that has used SST560W, have they face this kindda Symptoms on their SST560W? You should try another PSU and see...If you asking perhaps its other component from my rig, I have unplug & plug it back and tested with my friends, they working fine. If you asking to test my SST560W with Different PC (not yet, I malas nak bukak dan test kat PC lain) If you asking I should test my rig with Different PSU ( Yes I got spare PSU Corsair VX550W) but currently with my friend in Rawang, borrow to do some testing with his rig. Hoping its my SST560W fault so I can send it for RMA. Can anybody confirmed it or did anybody face this kindda symptoms on their SST560W before? would really appreciate it tho. QUOTE(Xehanort @ Jan 18 2009, 08:47 AM) is it true?? Not adviseable.. For those cards, at least a 550W PSU is recommended.  i plan to buy new gc, but my pc power supply is 450w only is tat means my pc can use gtx 260 or 4870 without any problem?? QUOTE(2pig @ Jan 27 2009, 12:28 PM) hi~~guys~~is vantec ion2+ 600w enought power for change my ati4850 to ati4870 on my rig? Yups, enough... my rig spec on my siggy~~thx and happy cny~~   QUOTE(skystrike @ Jan 28 2009, 12:06 PM) acbel iPower 660W & silverstone ST56F....which are better?? The Silverstone one should be better... If you are looking for a 600W or higher PSU, then check the Corsair ones..  This post has been edited by lex: Jan 29 2009, 05:03 AM |

helo. need to know somethin.
single rail is better than multiple since it can draw power to just one single rail n dont have to divide to multiple. this is what is confuse me, if single rail is better, why modular PSU like HX620W n Acbel M8 got multiple rail. i'm thinking on taking modular PSU but some forummer tell me single rail is better. (TX750W is recommended). can u clear the confusion in my head? This post has been edited by uzer85: Jan 29 2009, 11:42 AM |

Definately is ENERMAX TOMAHAWK better coz its the new model, shape, fan, features..overall looks better than FMA II. But Tomahawk I know they have 2 models . You have to check it out its 405 or 505W.   ENERMAX service center (VERTEX) is available in low yatt 3th floor behind ALL IT. Why don't you go and check it out from them. |

Try inspecting your motherboard for any signs of bad capacitors.. You might want to try downclocking your processor to stock speeds first. If all else have tried, then you may just need to change PSU (more likely.. considering the type and amount of hardware in your machine)... This post has been edited by lex: Feb 1 2009, 01:26 AM |
