QUOTE(clawhammer @ Dec 3 2007, 10:49 AM) Don't use a PSU that cannot support your hardwares. There's nothing wrong with Icute PSU if you're using a simple setup. I totally agree with that.... Get a PSU that can support all ur hardwares.... |

If u scared not enuf power, I suggest u take Thermaltake 250W Graphics Card PSU... It supports SLI for later use... U can see my siggie... I'm using that for my Ultra.... It costs about RM185 at Thundermatch but dunno whether they still hav or not.... Coz left 1 onli when I bought mine.... So, I also have "dual" PSU solution   This post has been edited by Aura: Dec 3 2007, 11:42 AM |

QUOTE(stanley85 @ Dec 3 2007, 04:59 PM) well i have a doubt here. i see there are few cases on PSU go "kaboom" while they using their pc... those are refer to those chap ayam and ICUTE psu izzit? and those quality psu such as enermax, silverstone, etc..even if you using a under power psu, at most the psu will shut down or not even boot up the pc but not going to blow...right? Well, for my case that time I was using Thermaltake Butterfly 400W and it doesn't hav enuf power to power my PC... The worst is onli shutting down la... They r just making a joke out of it.... Unless u r fiddling with something else, then the senario might change.... |

QUOTE(seanlimys @ Sep 29 2008, 11:48 PM) lidat go for silverstone da750..single rail madness.. Is this > st75f??? Also, I looked some of the reviews that PC P&C 750W's doesn't fluctuate most of the time so, my guess is this is more stable??? I was thinking to go for st75f bcoz of modularity but is this PSU > than all of the two above???This post has been edited by Aura: Sep 30 2008, 02:54 PM |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Oct 12 2008, 04:29 PM) well, my PSU just died. my 3rd PSU, and the oldest PSU among my 4 primary PSUs. WOW.... Already used so many PSUs????Anyway, after a very long consideration, I had bought the Silverstone Zeus ZM1200 PSU which gives the user an option to switch from single rail to multi rail and vice versa.... A very fine product I must say although it is a bit heavy...... |

QUOTE(bonedragon @ Oct 14 2008, 02:19 AM) Hey guys, planning to setup a system as such : 650W is enuf for ur setup.... If u go for bigger watt power supply, then in the future no need to upgrade.... Between 9800GTX+ SLi and 1x GTX280, I think both consumes almost the same amount.....Intel e8400 4GB DDR2 RAM Asus P5n-D 2x 9800GTX SLi One 7200RPM Hard drive One DVD-RW drive Is thermaltake Toughpower 650W enough? On that matter, which will take more power, 9800GTX+ SLi or 1 GTX280? Thanks. |

QUOTE(valho @ Feb 18 2009, 02:39 PM) hmm ic ic thanks, actually that's my current system, I'll probably try on my ST50F first and see if it's stable, if not will probably take up my friend offer on his Thermaltake Toughpower 750W PSU which should be more than enough for the GTX260 Better get the TT toughpower from ur fren.... No headaches and problem solved....   |
