with 550watt on single card, sure it can..

sifu, i kept getting a message prompting that my GC are not receiving enough power from my power supply..

i'm using enermax tomahawk 500W..
does this fit my rig or do i need to go for another PSU which is more powerful?

Q6600
EP45C-DS3R
barracuda 500GB
hyper X PC6400 800MHz 2GBx2 kit
XFX Geforce 9800GTX+
enermax tomahawk 500W
only 3 fans to my rig

thnx in advance..

i think if according to anandtech article..
ur PSU still can supply enough power for ur rig..

and i assume ur enermax sure not a cheap PSU..
maybe onother problem

may be u experincing some mulfunction in your GPU or PSU, try check the socket first, then ur PCI-E power .......

well on the GC, there is 2 socket for the PCI-E,but my PSU only supply 1 cable of PCI-E only and not 2 PCI-E,does this fit into my problem?

Huntkey V-Power550 / Gigabyte Superb 550 anyone?

Don't buy Huntkey. Say no to exploding power supplies:

should knew that cheap stuff aint good as always, thanks anyway!

You're welcome. Yupz, there's a reason the good ones like Corsair and Silverstone cost RM400 vs Huntkey RM150+..

No people ask u pull the power supply to the limit..

450watt... even following spec 100% full load won't consume u over 450Watt


E6750
HD4870X2
MSI X48 Platinum
Corsair DOMINATOR Twin2X2048-1800C7D (DDR3)
74GB Western Digital Raptor WD740

sumone said Xigma and OCZ psu are reliable...

Hehe the corsair site says my rig can be handled by VX550W PSU....
But it did hehe but loud fan speed as the down side.

Correct, but exploding is extremely bad and completely unacceptable. The PSU should shut down instead, like other PSUs.

u hv to plug 2 PCI-E plug into ur PSU no matter wat to run it at full potential.btw, ur GC din supply u wif PCI-E converter to 2 molex?

btw guys,i found another exploding PSU.my fren bought an acbel E2 510w.after 1 week,the PSU exploded after a series of loud operation.his rig was a E4500,ATI 4850 ,2GB of value ram, and a normal 7200rpm HDD. not only the huntkey will explode, reputable brands like acbel also will do

oh gosh..this suck..never mind..thnx k!nex and all others..i'll try to solve it right away

how about Pc power n cooling 750w compare to ocz pro elite 800w?
same manufacture rite?its have a big gap between 2 of these?

How the OCZ EliteXtream 850W? Heard it got single strong 12 rail. Any1 using it?

I know PC P&C 750W is good.... As for OCZ, I suggest that u can go check some reviews.... Actually, OCZ owns PC P&C but the technology they use to produce is actually different although they are related....

Here's one for the OCZ - http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/10/0...ream-800w-psu/1

As for PC P&C, u can google up coz there are a bunch of reviews from different websites....

PC P&C is good, but slightly overprice here though. well the manufacturing quality is not as good as it used to be, but still quite good comparable.

anyway it is still a good buy for it single rail design,

I've been using ST56F since last year October till 2008 July till it boomed. RMA-ed it and got back a new 1, working fine and feels powerful
