QUOTE(mashimarow @ Feb 22 2007, 11:47 AM) Rootified: Pentium 4 i think Why not use your PCI-E slot? You mean like a socket plug in AGP slot where you can plug in PCI-E card? There is, but don't seems to have it here, people rather change to PCI-E board than using back the old one. E-J@1: It's midnight, people are sleeping  A small PSU, perhaps for slim casing use. The 12V amp is very low and 200W! What pc you plan to use it on? A 486 or pentium 1?  dunno, the pc ain't with me, its my friend's pc, he also dunno cause so long already the pc been turn off, that day when he want to turn on the pc, kaboom, the psu burn  now wanna get a new one, but dunno bout it, isit available?? or obsolete already |

QUOTE(mashimarow @ Feb 23 2007, 12:20 AM) E-J@1: Noted Perhaps take the pc together with casing to check what type of PSU it can fit in. Cheap PSU is like that  QUOTE(mashimarow @ Feb 23 2007, 12:20 AM) Lamely-named: This when these stuff comes in handy I don't suggest using a cheap PSU to support high tech 8800, besides, cheap PSU don't have 6 pin molex. There are people using such method to avoid buying expensive 1000W PSU by using a 450W for mobo and another 450W for g/c only. You need to short circuit the PSU to think it is plug in mobo so that it can start (PSU won't start if it didn't plug in the 20/24pin slot). I don't think people outside will do that for you and you void your warranty if something toast, not to mention get yourself/whole system electrocuted. If you can buy 8800GTX SLI, it is nothing much for another 1000W, the PSU itself is cheaper than a single 8800GTX. Remote/Secondary Power Supply Starter Cable [Link]  Dual PSU 24-Pin Adapter Cable [Link]  with any of these stuff, u don't have to short circuit the PSU, but the first item, u kinda need to mod ur chassis |

if u all wanna go for modular psu, go for SS as it is 100% modular, those liberty are not 100% modular (the mobo + cpu power is not modular)...
i'm guessing u all wanna modular psu for cable management rite? with SS Strider u can make custom cables (with the exact measurement that suits ur chassis) & don't have to worried bout the connectors, u can buy the UV connectors from the Bulk Section as SS Strider use the common connector for their psu compared to Liberty, Enermax use those PCIe connectors like u connect to the VGA, plus Liberty, u can't custom made the mobo + cpu power cable as it is not modular (although it can be done, thus it will void the warranty)QUOTE(akachester @ Apr 20 2007, 05:08 PM) Wanted to know, would it void the PSU's warranty if i were to sleeve a brand new PSU or change the molex connectors?I might be getting myself the ST56F next week and would want to try and sleeve it myself (as the cables are not sleeved) but wondering would it void the warranty? yup, it will avoid the warranty if u stupidly send for RMA without riping the sleeve off & change the UV connector to its original connector  those PSU that are not originally been sleeved at all --> u can sleeve em with worrying the warranty... but those PSU that has originally semi-sleeved then u have a problem, if the default sleeved is black is a okay, u can sleeve back it black when RMAing, but what if its not black, like those Liberty, the sleeve they use is black+yellow, where to get? unless u want to double sleeve it then when RMAing just rip off the one u sleeved & leave the default one on |
