i wanna ask...wht is the diff between modular n non-modular psu?...
i wanna buy a psu for my rig...still figure between liberty 500w or silverstone st560f...

yeah..i kno..
rite now,only st56f and liberty 500w in my list.. so,u say that modular is just for easier cable management rite?is there any other option that i can take?

I'm using an Enermax FMA II 460w and im planning to upgrade to 8800GTS. I just found out that eVGA's website stated that 8800 needs 26A 12V rails. 12V rails refer to this right?



I would like to know that my PSU is enough for these specs.

AMD 64 X2 3600+
Seagate 250GB
Asus M2N-E
8800GTS
3 LED 120mm fans

Correct, you have 44A, enough to run 8800GTS

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.[attachmentid=197530]

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?
