my old one is not enough
its just giving me promblem so it looks like i will be getting a new one..(going to have to)
heres the specs
amd 4800+X2
2X--1gig corsair xms
2X--bfg oc 7900gtx sli
2X74 gig raptor hdd Raid 0
300gig segate hdd
samsung floppy
2Xplextor dvd/cd rw

and that about it i just need something that will be able have enough
power/amp to suplly to my system.
i look on the sli websitehttp://www.slizone.com/object/slizone2_build.html#certified_powersupplies at the psu's but could someone recomend one through
personel experince?
i found this one that has a single 12v rail at 38 amp but its only 560watt i dont think that will cut it

I don't think many has such a system! I did ran the 7900GTX SLI using a non-SLI certified 480W Antec PSU without any issues, not even overclocking. But I was using a single core processor, 2 HDD.

FSP is good...

PowerSlide · 28th Apr 2006, 09:19 AM

all 3 are good psu no doubt..hard choice there

if u willing tp spend jus go for the PCP&C..if not the fsp will do jus fine

PsYkHoTiK · 28th Apr 2006, 09:41 AM

I personally think PCP&C is waaay over priced...

Kalo · 28th Apr 2006, 01:33 PM

Never heard of FSP either, but it should cut it like PowerSlide said.

Papercut · 28th Apr 2006, 03:24 PM

Yeah, FSP/Fortron are all right. I think X-bit Labs have included their PSUs in some tests before.

all 3 are great psus. fsp is fortron and they make some of the best psu.

I do suggest to to slizone and check the approved SLI psu (or make sure that your psu has the sli approved stamps)

if you look at the review on the sli on this site (http://www.bjorn3d.com/read_2006.php...08&pageID=2201) You will see that they can run SLI of geforce 5900gtx with dual core 4800+ with SilverStone 600W ST60F PSU, so that psu can definitely take the punch.

Yeah SilverStone makes pretty solid PSUs but I hear that they can get pretty loud and they also have a cross-loading limitation - if there isn't enough power draw on +3.3V and +5V then the +12V rails will not be able to provide full capacity.
Edit: Or +5V, not +3.3V...not 100% sure.
