put ** specs into this calculator and see what u think, will give you a reading of what power is needed for your system, or the system your thinking of buying

i've not got the corsair but i've been shopping around for a new psu and this one seems to get good ratings from users, so i'll be getting it at the ens of the month.

FYI PSU calculators are almost invariably ********.

If you have the spare cash, i'd stretch the PSU slightly as it could well be worth it now or in the near future (you never know )

I requested the 8 pin cable as suggested on thier forums and recieved this response :

Hi Paul,
This unit is currently in our back order and there's also a charge if were
going to be sending this out to UK(around $20-30). If you have any questions you
can call us on our direct line 1-888-222-4346. Thank You for choosing Corsair
and have a great day!

So you have to pay for it

Ouch, probably started to charge once the numbers requesting them went up.

thats good to hear! any chance of posting the address here?

You got bored of the 8800 then or you just wanting some freebees ?

 

[james.miller]

oh just freebies. it's good to be ready. I'm not bored of the gtx, dont worry lol. but you never know - nvidia may well start using the 8pin connectors for their next generation of cards. whatever comes alone ill be ready for it
