thanks man, will do just that

Tried testing my 8800GTS on 1680*1050 resolution yesterday with C&C3.Everything at max, Level 4 AA. Gameplay was smooth but its on a 1v1 game.Maybe will try to stress more and see whether there is any lagging later..

Load was at around 65 - 68c. Satisfied with the temperature. When all the setup is done, will try to OC the GC and processor and test out the 3D Mark again..

try getting 550w true/real power psu 1st 4 long term usages

I'm running 8800GTS 320MB with CM extremePower 430w. running wthout problem until now.

btw, its on stock clock/memory speed, no factory overclocking or I try to overclock it.

Planning to upgrade to 8800GTX and change PSU also~

my brother, using Acbel 450W, can't even overclock with his system and his new X1950GT from Colourful, i told him... PSU is everything...

anyway... with good graphic card, it doesn't mean your system can play better if you're on capalang PSU, go get the reliable and good one

I really hope so. I don't want to sell off my nice enermax yet!!!

LOL..I still remember the first time i plug the 8800GTS into my system. A very loud "BEEP' sound keep happening.I went berserk checking what happened and saw i forgot to plug the PCIE power cable in..LOL..

LOL. I know what you mean. The first time switching on our rig after a PC component upgrade is the most heart-stopping event ever!!!

Imagine the relieve when your computer boots up without any problems.....

LOL

My old 6600GT explode because of chipalang PSU...

But my current Enermax Noisetaker is only 485 watt... lower than yours kmarc. If you already have a lot of headache thinking about stability... I wonder how would mine be... with 8800 series...

Ya lo. Real headache. I think next time if I do get another PSU, I'd probably just buy one that is enough for that particular rig. No point getting more watts when in the end, it is still not enough!

Are you planning to go 8800 and C2D/C2Q?

have u tried to OC it before?

will it be stable after OC the GC?

Yup.. an E6600 and 8800GTS/GTX (dunno which one to take.. depend on my budget by the end of this month).

Well.. for now I already booked one unit of Silverstone OP650 from kingmaker_20... hopefully that will be enough for a long time to come... the thing is.. it will only arrive by the end of this month or early July.. and if it arrives in early of July and I already have my gc by that time... then I only have that 485watt Enermax Noisetaker to use .

Noticed that almost everybody is recommended the silverstone..... Hmm.... will check it out later.....

E6600 huh.... not waiting for Intel's next price drop aaa?

I'd probably get the 8800 GTX once I've decided on buying the proc....

But you will still have the 485w PSU right? May be enough for your new rig if you don't do any overclocking.

Found ont that the 8800 GTX required 165watts which is actually quite acceptable.

Or maybe cut down on your peripheral components e.g. fans, hard disk, DVD roms, etc.....

Aaaa... i guess if ppl can run 6800GT/Ultra, they can run on 8800GTS, since i heard 6800GT/Ultra are pretty high in power-consumption.

Anyone else has 450w or less running 8800GTS?.. and maybe did some overclocking... heh

Cheers

Anyone wants my Enermax Liberty 500W?

me oso in the same boat. booked an OP650 fromm jy14. have to wait for stocks to arrive first.. the PSU thing is really holding me back from my upgrade...damn itchy wanna try the 8800GTS...that and also the intel price cut. july 22nd seems so friggin far away

but i did manage to get a Biostar TForce 6100 (S754) mobo last night. only thing is now...i need to find the time to fix it with my BFG 8800GTS OC2 and CM Realpower 450w...

Was searching around and found this forum : http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=9880

Dunno how true it is but for QX6700 + 8800 GTX, max wattage was around 470w!

LoL... so sad right?? The only thing that is holding us is PSU...

But if you dare to test you 8800GTS with CM Realpower 450w.. then I will have guts to try it with my Enermax Noistaker 485w too

Erm.. what proc are you using neway??


470w?? Which means even my Enermax Noisetaker can power it up?? I have doubt about stability though...
