QUOTE(RevolutionWorks @ May 19 2007, 08:31 AM) I'm using CM extremePower 430w right now to power my 8800GTS~ and its stable~  but it don;t have the PCI-E molex, how u connect? Using converter? CM extremepower only supplies 29A from both 12V rails added, quite risky.  Now I got a question, let say normal usage, is that we can combine 2 rails, such as one 18A and another 18A, can I use 8800GTS in that case? Single rail with more than 25A cost hell lot of $$  . so can combination of 2 12V rails accepted? This post has been edited by katana_wierdo: May 19 2007, 11:57 AM |

QUOTE(dattebayo @ May 19 2007, 02:06 AM) 18A+18A = 36A, more than 26A requirement. Correct me if i mistaken, but most PSU has lesser than 20A for single 12V rails, need to combine i think its ok, better than the other non-OC brand  and the fan is cool too, using CM fan  http://service.futuremark.com/orb/resultan...D=0&UID=9253366what brand are you using? i am gtting a galaxy |

QUOTE(RevolutionWorks @ May 19 2007, 12:28 PM) There is two versions of CM eXtremePower 430w, one is RS-430-PCAR and the other is RS-430-PCAP. Mine is RS-430-PCAP, so it has PCI-E power connector. ic..my one is old version since my PSU dun hv the PCI-E connector if i buy 8600GTS, does it got 6-pin PCIe Molex power convertor?? |

Anyone knows where can i get (or is it already here) the Galaxy 8600GE here in Malaysia?This card is tempting with Galaxy clocking up the speed of the 8600GT to match the speed of the 8600GTS.

wow... GALAXY always released a good factory oc-ed card and sometime bundled with Zalman coolers.. I wonder how good the offer is though for 8800GTS version...  |

well, for budget priced, galaxy and palit both do their job very well, palit is well known at over-volt on core and mem, and galaxy has nice coolers and good OC history (remember 7300gt with zalman  ) I think both the brands mentioned can easily beat MSI, which I dont find anything special except with the bundled package. |

The thing is, i have read some specs on the 8600GE and it matches the Core/Memory speed of the 8600GTS. If it was here and roughly around the price range of the GT, i will definitely get that, sacrificing the Zalman cooler as i have a Zerotherm lying around..

Since u ll need extra molex power to bring the card further. This post has been edited by dattebayo: May 20 2007, 07:18 PM |

I am just worried that this card might not be able to handle the new 22" LCD i am ordering. Thats why i am still in doubt.. |
