So is that enough to run the 8800GTS?

BTW, i just recently got a 8800GTS 320mb version and plugged it in my current setup (e6300,blablabala and Acbel 450w). So far (only 24 hours) its still ok. But reading about all the PC meletup stories got me abit worried. Is the Acbel 450w enough to run my 8800GTS + c2d (oc abit to but undervolt kaokao to 1.19v vs 1.325v default)

Thanks for the link. Played with it before but forgot to bookmark it
anyway, it says that the power requirement is 418w.

Here's a snapshot on the details for my acbel PSU.

Aiyoo.. pengsan la if have to get a new PSU. What are the signs that I should look for if the PSU is not strong enough?

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?

On mine it says 12v is 40A <- what are u referring to actually? The st56f or the seasonic?

Dont dare to use fortron coz there are rumours that my Mobo DS3 does not like fortron PSUs HERE
Doesnt say what model though.. But unless there's someone to prove otherwise, I wouldnt want to gamble on that brand for now.

As for the ST56F, i've been reading up a lot about it. The thing I like about it is the 36A and the price. But after reading a couple reviews, especially from SPCR (ironically i found this review from the product page), it was kindof a letdown tbh. Summore, there are ppl complaining about the buzzing sound in the silverstone bulk area. My PC is by no means silent, but i really cannot stand the buzzing mosquitoish sound. It drives me crazy especially because my PC is beside my bed. But i'm not writing it of just yet.

There was one guy complaining about the buzzing sound in the moderno/zamree bulk. Your ST56F states 40A? Where does it say? On the sticker on the PSU is it? Really curious now Can take photo or not?

DROOLLLL.. okayla, now i feel like driving to Subang and get one from Moderno! I think they must have made a refresh/updated for the ST56F. Weird that its not stated in their website or any where else.

Tried google Look what i've found! That was pretty fast.

Not really familiar with PSU to be honest. But it says "Combined 12V: 480W/40A". Does it still mean 36A?

I'll just assume that PC&PP is the Tiger Woods or Roger Federer for PSU, which is really in a different league to the rest. 80A 12v is too l33t for me.

But for the middle tier PSUs, is the 40A for the ST56F comparable to the 41A for the Seasonic S12 550W? Or Silverstones 40A rating is not 'reliable'?

Anyway, moderno habes stock already for his st56f. By anychance ATE brings the PSU? C-zone charge quite expensive la @ RM 399.

/sorry a bit off topic.

Thanks. GOt it from MyPC @ a very good price! From now on, im getting my stuffs from there.

Err.. that range using what software? my st56f and even my old acbel both reporting 11.5 +- 0.05 in everest in both Vista and XP.

Using the easytunes, Mine is 12.2 ++v. I know they are all inaccurate but which one is the better one? (or are there any other software you would recommend to check your voltages?)
