QUOTE(Ryo @ May 2 2007, 05:01 PM) core temp ver. 0.95 right? had that shutdown issue too. switch back to 0.94 and all is good  not sure though, last time using core temp dunno since when the shutdown problem occur, 0.94 or 0.95... now didnt use core temp, use speedfan instead, too bad it just monitor 1 core, btw, to those who experiencing random shutdown problem, if using core temp pls try close it and see whether it is causing troubles, cause sometimes the rails doesnt provide enough ampere also will cause random shut down... |

QUOTE(ocz @ Jan 21 2008, 08:31 PM) Wow.I dont think that the Acbel E2 510W can support HD3870 as the 12V rails only 18A.  Thats the psu i can get ATM. for ur information, E2 510W are dual rail 18A, which means it can support 3870... |

wondering corsair TX750W vs PCPnP Silencer 750W vs Silverstone ST75ZF, although its not single rail, but combined ampere also are 60A on 12v rails, which one is better? Both Corsair and PCPnP have almost same spec + retail price... but for the Silverstone its RM490 as u all said but without sleeve and older model... http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=...=Story3&reid=25http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=...=Story4&reid=73http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=...=Story4&reid=63its seems the ST75ZF are better performing PSU according to JonnyGuru review... anyone have any idea which PSU are better purchase for now ?

QUOTE(gamers maniac @ May 11 2008, 06:11 PM) as i said before thest56f have 12v-18amp but the vantec have 12v-22amp. are these output crucial? i read somewhere that some gc requires 20amp to run smoothly.. can explain about this? i think the silverstone's psu will do the job, the total 12v rail ampere for both PSU are at least over 20amp i believe...

prefer the corsair's psu due to modular cable + its performing quite well against some higher wattage PSU...

tough choice for me, been shortlisting corsair PSU for a while, after reading the review, still dunno which PSU to go for my future upgrade...
Corsair TX750W vs Corsair TX650W vs Corsair HX620W...
refering jonny guru review, TX series have some heat issue due to the fan baffle, dunno corsair fixed tht onot ? HX620W seems good from tht review but tis years ago model, although it's tri-rails, but according to jonny guru review, its basically is a single rail design from the circuit analysis...

QUOTE(a1098113 @ Aug 7 2008, 02:49 PM) i would still prefer zippy or pc PnC psus... or original Seasonic makes. If i had the money that is. wat i dont like about PC PnC silencer is the sleeving, short cables and also 80mm fan.... else i would have consider it... zippy and seasonic availability in malaysia are  ... so end up considering corsair's PSU... but now still happy with my Acbel iPower 550watt although its 12v rail just providing 372watt(31A ) in total... it still can power up my rig with 2 hdd and lotsa fan and wc pump... |

QUOTE(a1098113 @ Aug 7 2008, 08:34 PM) normally psus do make a difference when u r overclocking at high levels for a long duration of time. At high stress loads too, better psus, withstand it better mayb just providing stable voltages so ur hardware last longer, i remember chapalan PSU killed my Geforce 4 back in the old days after a year of usage... after switching to decent PSU such as Acbel, my hardware last longer ... i also believe it provide more stable OC if u push ur system hard enough with high end hardware due to its stable voltages... and also good PSU with high efficiency help u save $$$ & environment This post has been edited by lichyetan: Aug 7 2008, 10:12 PM |

got some noob questions here, how do i know if my PSU is limiting my OC, say my Q9550 can stable @ 3.4ghz @ stock volt, but once i OC to 3.7ghz i cant get it stable even though sometimes its does pass all prime and burn in test, it just get random BSOD... and also almost all my OC above 1.3vcore will get random BSOD no matter how i tune the other voltages...
Is My psu limiting me ?
My PSU is Acbel iPower 550w (total combined 12v rails ampere is 31A, 372W)
My system consists of 9 case fans, 1 D4 pump
my Spec is as
Q9550
DFI UT p35
ATI 3870 (Oc'ed to 860,1200)
2x2gb Crucial Ballistx DDR2 800 (@2.2v for ddr2 1080, stable last time on my e8400) now @ 1.8v 1:1 ratio
2 SATA HDD
1 optical disc drives.

QUOTE(sniper69 @ Aug 22 2008, 07:15 AM) @lichyetan try remove/unplug one of your HDD, ODD and use single module (RAM), i used to do that way when finding if any PSU related  just tested with newly bought corsair TX750w... no more random bsod... |

QUOTE(-pWs- @ Aug 22 2008, 11:53 PM) So PSU the culprit? Not Vcore?? -pWs-i was stable with my old psu till 1.3vcore, after tht no matter wat voltage i applied, the pc couldnt stable... stable when unplug 3870, all hdd and optical drive except main hdd... but i can get it stable at stock though, just couldnt OC higher clocks say about 3.5 above without random bsod, now with new PSU, i can run it at 3.8ghz yet with lower vcore, mayb tht Acbel PSU just run out of ampere on the 12v rails... |
