calling thermaltake armour owners

fonzio · 28 Jul 2007 at 12:50

looking at buying a PSU for my new thermaltake VA8003BWS Armour Super Tower, was looking at the enermax 1000w galaxy psu but i read on this forum that it might not fit right because of the top mounted fan inside the case was wondering if this is the case?

if not looked at the enermax infiniti 750w anyone know if this would fit better?

or maybe suggest a PSU that would

looking to get the Q6600 havent made my mind up about motherboard yet i know i want ddr2+3 and future proofing to 45nm and also SLI but ive read that altho some motherboards support SLI 1 would run at 16x and the other at 4x which seems a waste of time and money to me, so looking for a 16x x 16x SLI config if you could help also would love to overclock

thanks in advance

i had a thermaltake armour, all i no is you can take the top mounted fan out, they are held in with little plastic clips that simply slide out

Hope that helps

As above you can take it out easily, but on the size issue, youve only got about 7 inches from the back of the case till you are almost touching the top fan, so on inital looks no the 1000w defo wont fit with the top fan there but 720w will fit.

I put a Tagen 900w in my armour case, although it was an extremely tight fit all in, but it is a quality PSU, so it might be worth considering.
