I wanna ask a question.My psu which is a cooler master 430w doesn't have what we call that cable that connects to a graphics card which i heard.So if just say i want to upgrade my gc which needs the cable,must i buy a new psu or is there any cable which could be bought and just simply added to the wires so that i could connect it to the gc?

hi all.....
i just brought i coolermater 550w psu
but i found out thaton the 24pin , there is missing 1 pin.
that mean total is 23 pin only.1 is missing
is this factory QC mistake ?

anyone there using PSU with missing 1 pin from the 24pin with no problem?

thank

did ur enermax also missing 1 pin ?
thank

isnt Enermax FMA II 460W right? http://www.enermax.com.tw/english/product_...ay1.asp?PrID=53
how much is it?cant seem to find it in the pricelist (C-Zone, PCZone, Cycom, Sri, ViewNet)

Check Zamree7 bulk.
12V rails fluctuate about +/-5% is normal.

Enermax Iron Max 460W RM279

thanx a lot

yea lo..
i am also not sure..
sometime ok sometime not...
and my board bit sensitive..
what i mean is that sometime syok syok cant detect harddisk, stated disk boot failure..
need plug out and plug in power cord then only can..
last time using MSI KT6 board no problem one...cap PSU can oc to 200FSB..
lol..
now change LANPARTY change PSU the rest use back the same..
then some problem arise...still thinking wat problem..
will consider the silverstone...

only have 1 80mm fan,mine is GTS not GTX.........yeah i think i have to buy new psu also coz sometime when playing game on highest setting my pc just restart dammm

rootified:
Watt is only used as a guideline when you purchase PSU, when calculated which required 220W, then , you need to find a 300 or 350W to cope with your current system.  However, modern system now consume 12V amp more than 5 years ago system which rely on 3.3V and 5V.  Therefore, those cheap PSU which shows 400+W have very high 3.3V and 5V but look at 12V rail, it is not even 20A
When you plug in a power required g/c, it drain power from PSU, but your other system also require 12V, HD,CPU,mobo all needs 12V, after 2-3 hours play, you suffer strange behaviour, you system can slowdown, you display seems flashing, your HD seems reading more and more slowly or even BSOD randomly.  Geez..I talk a lot

Acbel 350W has a detachable 24pin plug which means it is a 20+4 pin, I am using one if you read my sig and my mobo sure is many years older than yours.  Coolermaster don't have detachable 24pin plug, you need to buy a 24->20pin convertor.  The extra 4pin is for PCI-E board.  That's why some entry/mid level PCI-E don't need extra power because you already supply it with the 4pin on mobo.[/

[b]lamely_named:
8800 is a power hunger, a typical C2D equip with 8800GTX require 550W and if you use SLI, you certainly need 1000W PSU. Noted that 8800GTX(GTS only need one) need two 6pin molex and only 1000W supply supply 4 6pin molex. For your 700W PSU, think you can SLI GTS version.

Yours is a AGP/PCI-E board right? The board mainly is for AGP slot with PCI-E as extra for future use.  It is also great for people to switch to 775 socket to try out duo core while retain his AGP card, RAM and PSU.

Yours is a special case

Addition note : AGP is dead since 6 series card, but they keep it alive by adding a bridge chip to decode PCI-E signal to AGP. I didn't see the architech built out of your Asrock, I believe it is using the same technology. Correct me if I am wrong

Hmm.. but from the pic i posted above, max of 300w from 12v translates to 25A. Just slightly below the recommended 26A minimum. Arrgghh.. Need to shell out some money for a new PSU. Dangg..

If i need to change, i'm planning to get the Seasonic S12 Energy+ 550W PSU. It has some 41A 12v rails. Is it an overkill?

My PSU has 2 four-pin connectors labeled "for CPU only" and the mobo connector is 20-pin. Currently four pins are empty on the mobo. Should i connect the extra four-pin connector in? So far no reboot problems..

Yup. 24 pins on mobo but only 20-pin mobo connector. There's a space 4-pin that's labelled for CPU. so should i connect it?

Im using Enermax FMA II 460W and Asus M2N-E.

Yup, 20 + 4 pins for mobo. So do i need to plug the 4-pin?

hehe ... might think about OCing after 1 year, neway thanks for the info makes me know so much about PSU...

I think... for those who admire PSU that looks good and have cable management with limited budget need to think a lot before actually decide to buy the PSU...

need to recheck ur system power requirements...

Are you serious??? Liberty 500watt price going to drop??? Currently the price is around Rm430... So any prediction on the future price.?? .. later i can save my money...

I planned to get the liberty 400watt, since it doesn't have enough juice to power my rig in extreme use, I leave the liberty 400watt behind... " I WANT A NICE PSU" arrrgghhh
