for the specs above....how capable is the ACBEL 510W E2 to handle it?

i was recommended the CM EXTREME POWER PLUS 550W but was just wondering if the acbel 510w or even the CM extreme power plus 500w is capable of handling it
*
the acbel and the cm 500w should be able to handle it

Need some advise. which one is better? Single rail, Dual rail or Quad rail? I'm planning to change PSU, but confuse which one to choose. Below are my CPU detail.

Mobo = Gigabyte EP43T-UD3L

Proc = C2D E8400 Wolfdale (want to oc to 3.6Ghz, 1600Mhz FSB)

RAM = Corsair Dominator CL9 2X2GB 1600Mhz

GC = Asus 8800 Ultra (Board max TDP = 175w - Not sure what this mean. Source http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=88&pgno=8 )

CPU Cooler = Planning to buy CM 212+ (still searching for reviews)

1 160Gb Sata HDD (planning to add 1TB WD Caviar Black)

1 DVDRAM

5 120mm FAN (still considering coz still searching for casing - power for fan can take from mobo or take direct from PSU?)

Hope someone can help me. Planning to buy a true power, 80+ modular PSU. Budget MAX is RM350.

you can also get the Xigmatek NRP-PC602 600W RM290.

Thanks. Budget wise, 250RM is okay for me. Any particular difference between those two models that I should be aware of?
*
the st50f costs around rm260 while the xigamtek costs rm240 downwards.the xigmatek is fully sleeved while the st50f isn't.however the st50f is of higher quality

it shouldn't be related to the PSU since a GT210 use pretty much the same power as a 8500GT.

you might want to try the GT210 in another PC first.IF it doesn't work then the GT210 needs to be sent for warranty

between seasonic 520w and silverstone 500w which better? will be buy it for oc purpose
*
S12-II 520W is better with efficiency that's a bit higher across the board ,really low electrical noise and ripple.It's not that the ST50F is bad,but for the same price the S12-II tops it
QUOTE(ZRong223 @ Sep 1 2010, 09:50 PM)
I am planning to upgrade my pc right now, without changing my PSU (480W with 20A on 12V)
Here is the details:

Recent:
Asus P5QPL-AM Mainboard
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E6300
Nvidia 9400GT Graphic Card
300GB Hard Disk
4GB DDR2 Ram
Samsung DVD

First, I want to change my graphic card from Nvidia 9400GT to ATI Radeon 5770.

Then (or final), I would like to change my processor to Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400.
I hope my PSU is enough to afford this, but seems that it's impossible.  sad.gif
If my PSU does not suit my upgraded PC, can you guys recommend a suitable PSU for me?  biggrin.gif
*
your PSU has one or two 12V rails?If your PSU is a good 480W unit you'll be fine but inc ase you're getting the a new PSU i suggest the Seasonic S12-II 520W for RM230+-.
here's the review

Not sure. I just saw it on the label.
I think no brand there. It's a switching power supply.
And there is a bigger size blue colour sentence "Super Power" =,=
Maybe it's a, like what you all said, "cap ayam" PSU??
How to know how many rails in my PSU?
*
seems to me that's a generic/cap ayam psu...is it light?i suggest not using a HD5770 with such PSUs.Better be safe than sorry.

So how if I want to change a branded PSU?

My casing is same like this:

(Look at the picture)
It is a minitower case.
Does any branded PSU suitable for this kind of casing?

360W at 12V rails?That's enough even for a GTX460.Both PSUs are fine but i'm leaning more towards the Seasonic

What's a modular PSU ?
for example :Silverstone ST50F-P Modular series 500w compared to normal one what difference ? Can still work for my rig ?
*
Modular means you can remove unwanted cables,then it'll look neater.

it's your choice,both will work fine,it's just that the new PSU will have a longer warranty.btw,storm88 said that there will be an offer for the Seasonic S12-II 520W PSU ,it will be priced RM199 in december.

Hi guys..

I'm planning to upgrade PSU for my old rig. Cos the current power supply for it is way too low - Total combined power of 207W, can't even power up certain 2.5" external hdd through usb port.  shocking.gif

Details of the rig:

Processor: Intel Pentium D 925 CPU 3.00GHz
Memory: 2.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2
VGA: 256MB GeForce 7600 GS (Gigabyte)
Mobo: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. 945PL-S3 (Socket 775)
Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 740N 17" LCD Monitor
HDD: 160GB Western Digital WDC WD1600JS-56MHB1 ATA Device (SATA)
Audio: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1ch PCI Sound Card.
Optical drives: ASUS CB-5216A ATA Device
PS/2 mouse and keyboard

So, what's the recommended power supply for it? Do u guys think 400W PSU would be the suitable one?  hmm.gif

PS: i'm not planning to OC the processor/memory or upgrade its graphic card.
*
Well,a good 400W unit like the CM Elite Power 400W would be fine but i got to ask something else,what's your budget actually?
No plans to upgrade or overhaul things?
