Gosh, even with these hardware, i really think it will hardly touch any near the 1k mark right... Assuming you are to run quad SLI 8800GTX, then maybe its needed... |

To used up 1k watter You need: 1) 2x QX6800 2) 4x 2GB DDR2 3) Water cooling 4) 10 fans 5) 2 x 8800 Ultra 6) Fill up the SATA/IDE with HDD/optical drive and Fill up the USB 7) OVERCLOCK But I think it still wont barely reach 800w with all those hardwares  |

To be save, aint a 500w True power is enough?Assuming you are going to SLI it, it would barely touch 700w right?I am still trying to figure out the need for such high end stuff..lol..You need: 1) 2x QX6800 2) 4x 2GB DDR2 3) Water cooling 4) 10 fans 5) 2 x 8800 Ultra 6) Fill up the SATA/IDE with HDD/optical drive and Fill up the USB 7) OVERCLOCK But I think it still wont barely reach 800w with all those hardwares QUOTE(smokey @ May 29 2007, 09:23 AM) guys, between enermax FMAII 460w and liberty 400w, which will u choose considering both have almost similiar pricing?

What he mean was, the cable of a modular PSU can be unplug and taken out if unused unlike non-modular ones that stays there even unused..like current/voltage regulation... As far as i can see, some people did say about modular PSU being less reliable than non-modular type..Not sure whats the problem though. Something regarding voltage fluctuation i guess.. |

QUOTE DON'T LOSE POWER WITH MODULAR PLUGS Due to their look, convenience, and cost savings for manufacturers, modular plugs have become a popular power supply feature. Unfortunately, there has been little or no discussion of the impact of this feature on overall performance and reliability. The fact is, modular plugs limit power by adding to electrical resistance. The voltage drop can be as much as would occur in 2 feet of standard wire. Worse yet, modular plugs utilize delicate pins that can easily loosen, corrode, and burn, creating the potential for a major system failure. That's why professional system builders specify uninterrupted wire! |

I think modular type is good when you didn't unplug any of the cables. It is less reliable when you did unplug some cables
