600w ocz modx for cf 5770??

ndaar · 20 Nov 2009 at 17:37

is an ocz modx 600w powerful enough to power cf ati 5770 cards in a system? or do you need to go for a corsair 650w?

rest of system is a I5 overclocked on an asus mobo with 4gig ram, 2 hdds, 2 opticals.

Im guessing it is as one of the pre done computers Titan H20C has that power supply with the option of crossfire 5770? Just wanted other peoples opinion

Cheers

OCZ are top PSU's and the 600 watt model will do 5770 xfire no problem.

RavenXXX2 · 20 Nov 2009 at 18:13

For working out PSU requirements I always point people to the antec website,it does all the calcs for you even asks for your overclock etc.

didnt want to start a new thread as its similar but:

any chance of 5850 + 8800gt for physix on a 530psu?

AMG · 20 Nov 2009 at 23:02

depends what brand

James1954 · 20 Nov 2009 at 23:37

i think its made by ATX

I have just bought the ModXStream PRO 600watt, and just for your reference it comes with:

- 1 x 6 pin PCI-e connector
- 1 x 6+2 pin PCI-e connector.

Cripple.

I meant the make of it, like corsiar, ABS/TAGAN, silverstone, OCZ all that, it does make a difference, the onces i mentioned are some of the decent brands there are a lot more of course

yea its this ! http://www.lindy.co.uk/atx-power-supply-530w/73261.html

not sure, if that company is any good loool defo not part of the big players (some I mentioned

it should be enough yes...just......

its not very nice watching a powersupply unit set itself on fire put it that way, particularly when they are sods for taking something with them too

This made me LOL

I wouldn't touch that "ATX" branded power supply with a barge pole.

James1954 take a look at this wiki link, explains all about form factors

Word of advice, Never skimp on the power supply when building your rig as you will regret it sooner or later.

James1954 · 21 Nov 2009 at 11:03

ah yea i bought the pc in a barebone set-up so got
q6600
nvidia 680i

James1954 · 21 Nov 2009 at 19:15
