Yup, CM Silent Pro M600 is sufficient for single GTX 570 and GTX 580

Can tell if this is enough ? I donno this model can or not.

My PSU Corsair TX850

Rig..

i7 Bloomfield 920 (No OC)
6GB ram ddr3
GTX 580 ( Going to SLI) ( I have one AMP gtx 580 with OC 812mhz, the other is just standard clock speed.)
Swiftech Pump with speed adjust (Water cool)
DVD-RW
MOBO ASUS P6T
Fan 120 LED x 3

Can tell me if my PSU can take it?

Yup.

If the rest of your system components is exactly like what your CPU-Z report states, then yes, the Cooler Master Silent Pro M600 will support the GTX570 or the GTX580 and your system without any problems.

tq very much bro, appreciate it

Hi, appreciate if anyone can advise

Is the card an nVidia 7600GS or a 7600GT? Anyway, these two cards do not consume a lot of power, and your power supply should support the entire system without any problems. But according to your statement, it seems like two hard disk drive has already crashed for no apparent reason on this system. Have you tried getting another power supply to test your system with? You could buy the Gigabyte PoweRock 390W at RM69 ( All IT ) if you do not have any additional power supply to test your system, which will also run your system fine.

I’ve heard of rails, how many do I need?
Now this is a proper marketing war, over a simple difference in design.
Overall, units with multiple 12V rails are considered to be ‘safer’, while units with a single large 12V line are preferred by enthusiasts because they negate the possibility of a weak 12V line getting overloaded by a single power hungry device.
Let’s say this nice and clearly, to avoid misunderstanding… High-end PSUs, from quality vendors, that use multiple 12v lines – are created in such a way that all of these lines exceed the ATX safety specifications.
Units with single and very powerful 12V lines are [said to be – Ed] dangerous, because people try to imagine a catastrophic event which might force most of the power in the circuit being channelled through a single connector, in which case the cable would surely melt – possibly even starting a fire. The example normally quoted is when a faulty component doesn’t cause a short circuit. Quality manufacturers integrate several safety methods to ensure this does not happen, which is why such catastrophic events are extremely rare (although there is an interesting story about a French journalist who ended up in hospital while testing a ‘famous brand’ PSU – or so the story goes).

hmm any truth to it?? just curious

Here is my Spec:-

Core i5 2400
Gigabyte H61 MOBO
ASUS GTS450(OC ver)
4Gb ram
Sony DVD
Samsing 1TB
WD 1TB


Currently using Huntkey Balance King 450W & I dont like the sound it make when playing games (usually high graphic games) so I'm thinking for better replacement at the end of this month. I will scout shop around my town 1st . What PSU you guys recommend for my rig?

Edit
After scouting, here the PSU I found(within my budget RM200):

AVF 750W (RM 140 only? sounds too good to be true, has 2x12v rail 22W)
FSP Hexa 500 RM 1xx (If I want to buy might as well negotiate for less abit)
CM Extremepower 550
Xigmatek 500W (this one very expensive)

hi guyz i wan to ask some questions here...

what if?

my system is using 300W

and i use:

i) 500W PSU with 80 plus rated
ii) 400W PSU with 80 plus rated

does it mean that if i choose option no (i) i'll be using more power (high electricity) because of higher power output that can be produced by 500W psu while my system requires only 300W and does it mean that if i use 400W psu instead my electricity consumption will be lesser?

Silver Stone SST-ST60F-ES 600W is a good PSU?

1 question, heard alot of ppl said that coolermaster's PSU quality not good, is it true?

cuz i juz bought a CM Silent Pro M1000 2 months ago and burnt out, now in RMA still no sign of coming back T.T

Should i just buy another good PSU and sell M1000 off when it comes back later?

(moderator or admin can help delete this?)

Well, CM SPM PSU is quite good imho, so far no complaints about them.
if you can wait, then wait for it. If you can't get a new one.

Added on June 16, 2011, 7:22 pmtheoretically, yes. But if your usage doesn't even hit 500W, and won't even take in that much electricity, then it doesn't makes sense. If you say that it'll pull 500W from the socket, then where the extra electricity go? heaven?

thanks for yr reply... actually im confuse whether to take silverstone 400W or silverstone 500W... i heard both are good...just want to know which one will save me more on electricity bills n i do not really care how much it will cost me as far as i will be able to save on my electricity bills with my system requires only 300W (no OC) and im not planning to use high end gc just mid range gc will be nice for me...

No no no no no. Even if you got a 500W or a 400W power supply, if 300W is all your system needs then that's what it will actually use. The power supply will supply power according how much the system requires and not e.g 400W all the time if the total power capacity of that particular power supply is 400W. A power supply's rating is stated on the power supply itself and the box to indicate the power that it can supply up to ( for good power supplies they can usually be stressed more than what the manufacturer says, albeit not recommended ), not indicating that it supplies that amount of power 24/7.

Anyway, you'll get more savings on your electrical bill on with a 500W power supply compared to a 400W power supply as power supplies usually have the best efficiency at around 45% ~ 65% of load, unless the 400W power supply is an 80 Plus certified unit ( meaning that its efficiency is guaranteed to be at least 80% up to its rated power e.g 400W ) and the 500W is not.
