The Power Supply Chart

[Andrew_Ng]

Thats one is expensive $500++. If Budget $400 any recomendation?

Actually with your budget and u need the best PSU, $500 is not expensive to get the BEST PSU in the world today period.

Conclusion from Anandtech

Even though these power supplies are anything but cheap, we are confident in making the statement that the Enermax Revolution 85+ is currently the most advanced consumer power supply available. It offers exceptional efficiency, voltage regulation, temperatures, and has very good build quality. It doesn't necessarily surpass the competition in every area, but it's always at the top of the charts. Ultimately, the innovations, feature set, and performance impress us so much that we are pleased to award the Enermax Revolution 85+ our Gold Editors' Choice Award. It's entirely possible that if you purchase the 1050W model, you could end up running the same PSU for the next couple of presidential elections -- and you can do so knowing your PC will be as green as a hybrid SUV.

any comments on this psu "SilverStone ST50EF-Plus 500W Power Supply Unit 12cm Fan"?

Hi all, need some enlightenment here.

I recently purchased the Thermaltake Toughpower 1500w and learnt that it has 4 +12v rail.

2 of the +12v rail runs at 20amp
the remaining 2 of the +12v rail runs at 40amp.
Total 120amp

The GTX 295 from what i understand is a very power-hungry card and require very very strong +12v rail to support it. However, i am quite noob when it comes to PSU thingy.

So i would like to know whether can this TT PSU 1500w support a GTX 295 Quad SLI setup amp-wise.

I seem to read somewhere that the GTX 295 require at least 31amp to operate. Can someone confirm this?

Also, how do i ensure whether i have used the +12v rail which have 40amp to power my gtx295? I scared end up using the +12v rail which has only 20-amp to power my card....

its a enhance oem psu. not bad but its non-modular. suggest u top up abit get corsair hx520

 

[Raptor1]

Do those with Full tower casing, say the lian-li A71, use dual psu when needed ? Or would it be better to just replace the psu.?

Say i now buy a seasonic 430psu, 1 year down the road, add another seasonic 430 psu.?

noobie question but is seasonic 430 PSU enough to support SATA HDD (2 units), SATA DVD drive, IDE DVD drive, and either 4670 or 4830 or 9600GT GPU? Thanks.
