I need some help please.
I am looking for a PSU
The psu i used before is 450w... i just wonder if i buy a 500w now is that any problem? or i need to get back 450w?

No problem one la...

But if your 450W is true power, then u buy a non-true power 500W, then better don't buy

Just because my 450w die d... so i got get one...
i not really what is true power for... but what i guess is... the PSu is came with the casing before.. i dun think a cheap casing will give u a 450w true power psu right? ...
anyway.. thank you

any good psu have long 4pin wire around rm100+?my current acbel too short too connect from my psu slot in my cm centurion 590 to my gigabyte ds3 4 pin slot...i cant find any 4pin converter ..T_T

Get a SS ST400 with RM17x, SS psu got long wire lmao

Around RM100?

Increase to RM160 to get Silverstone St400.

strider st40 better than cm extreme power 460w or not?

For those intend to purchase GeForce 9800 GX2, kindly read the following note:

The following is a list of power supplies which have been tested to work on NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) 9800 GX2. These power supplies meet the requirements for power rating, have at least one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express power connector, and support NVIDIA(R) HybridPower(tm) mode.

NOTE: A number of system power supplies in the market use a modular power connector to provide 6-pin and 8-pin outputs from the same cable. These power supplies have PCI-E Express Power Connectors listed as "8-pin/6-pin" in the table below. A subset of these modular connectors have a mechanical latch that is too wide and do not fit the 8-pin PCI-E power connector on the GeForce 9800 GX2 graphics card and are marked with an asterisk (*) in the table. These power supplies will work with the GeForce 9800 GX2 GPU with a PCI Express power connector adapter. NVIDIA is working with graphics card manufacturers and power supply vendors to offer an adapter to affected customers. Please contact your manufacturer of your product to obtain a replacement connector.

ST40 much better than cm extreme power, coz it is pure 400w psu, but cm extreme power 460w not a pure power psu =)

HI . . . need some advise, as the spec of my pc below, izzit underpowered? Are there any performance degradation or consequences?

hermit23, better change to a true power PSU.

Go for at least 500Watts of true power to be safe. ST50F is a good choice.

Huh..Thank God..

Just wanna open thread to asking about nowadays psu...

True Power, Extreme and so on...

thanks a lot....

asus with their very own psu calculator

Guyz, my pc keep on restarting at the windows loading bar since yesterday n my pc spec is as below:
Gigabyte P35 DS3R
E6750
Asus 8800GT TOP
1gb KVR x 2
1 Dvd-rw
1 Seagate sata2 250gb
3 fans in the casing
Coolermaster 600watt extreme psu (i believed this is the main reason why my pc couldnt boot but i need a confirmation for all sifus here before i head up for a new psu, a real power this time)
Thanx in advance

p/s:ive been using this setup since december n nothing went wrong until yesterday

hi, anyone here tried b4 Gigabyte SuperB 460w psu?
how about the performance n reliability?

coz now was choose btw giga superb 460w n acbel e2 390w..@@

Please read the first few page for more info on getting a true power psu. The info should help you better. You could also read all the post to see forumer recommendation...btw, CM Extreme is not a true power psu, so dun buy it.

You better change your CM Extreme to other real power psu, like st500...

My budget is around RM200. Which PSU is good?
