There's many PSU out there that is on Single +12V rails.
Such as the PSU i'm using right now, Silverstone Olympia OP650 650Watt. thumbup.gif

QUOTE(kakarocht @ May 8 2007, 08:43 AM)
look for the FMA versionit has higher rails of 33A for +12V.  thumbup.gif

Enermax?

Maybe you are one of the lucky ones.
But me? sweat.gif

I have 3 enermax PSU's, and two of them failed when both of the psu doesn't even reach an age of 1 year already fail, what would you like to say about that? shakehead.gif

Seriously, Enermax has not been good as what they were when they are two - three years ago. doh.gif

No more Enermax from me. No sir. shakehead.gif

i have the same psu. rail is strong when overclocked to the fullest.

Which Enermax did u had?

I believe the FMA series (which is considered the low end of all Enermax) have very little problem. My FMA is proven stable... been using it for more than 2 years already.... running overclocked system all the time. No issues at all.

On the other hand, I have seen the Liberty series got blown by itself.

Two PSU's, both are Enermax PSU's. shakehead.gif

One Enermax Liberty 620W [ni takpela, murah sikit, mati dalam tiga bulan rclxub.gif ]
One Enermax Galaxy 1KW [psu mahal pun mati dalam masa tiga bulan? shakehead.gif ]

So conclusion:
No more Enermax for me, no sir. shakehead.gif

excuse me, but how come there is an incompatibility issue for psu+motherboard?  sweat.gif
hope sumone can enlighten me on this matter.. smile.gif

There is.
DFI motherboard are known to be very fussy with PSU's.

Wrong choice of PSU, you have to buy another type of PSU to be used on DFI motherboards. smile.gif

LOL..looks like DFi is materialistic on choosing psu brand huh.. laugh.gif
luckily im using biostar..

so about this incompatibility, is there any way of solving it besides changing psu?  smile.gif
*
Nope.
None of those that got psu compatibility problem with DFI motherboard could do anything about it except changing PSU.

DFI is so picky with PSU's as it wants a PSU with a really really stable PSU.

What I'll like to know is, what happens when a DFI mobo is used with a PSU its not compatible with?

Simple, you system won't start.
It will turn on for 5 seconds, then your system will turn off again.

You won't even be able to see the post screen.

Juz got my strider 560w.
Wow, its damn heavy. And somehow theres a sticker V3 (version 3 or something)
Compared to some of the reviews, mine comes with dual 20A @ both 12v rails. (40A total)
Tested on my system, the hissing is still there. (its actually my mobo's voltage regulator section is makin the noise doh.gif sad.gif )
So that pins out that my 370w psu is ok.
Guess my strider will go to garage sale section anytime soon (sorry silverstone, your product is good, but i need monies sad.gif )

Weh, ko beli psu tu hanya untuk test? shocking.gif

Yeah, I pointed that out in my guide. Opening the PSU will allow for more thoroughness though, but its your own choice.

There is always a way.
You just have to be careful in opening the case without voiding the warranty. smile.gif
