i7 2600 + Antec ISK-300 150?

Wakinglimb · 9 Sep 2011 at 00:57

Having sold my Antec a few months back, I missed it and bought another.

My rig will be:
i7 2600 @ stock with Intel HSF
Sapphire 6570 1gb DDR3
Seagate Hybrid XT 500gb HDD
8GB XMS3 DDR3 @ 1333MHZ (2x4)
Samsung slim DVD+RW drive
Antec 150w PSU

Is the PSU going to be able to take it?

150w psu lol I doubt that will run the system with no problem. Didnt even know you could get a psu that small.

I am pretty sure they used to do the isk with a 65w psu..

The 6570 may push the psu a bit too hard. Unless you really need that extra graphics power just use the 2600K GPU and you will be fine.

My one ran fine with a GT220, so see if you can find a power comparison between the two, although I'm on an i3 which I'd imagine will use less power than the i7.

SWMBO is running MS Office/browsing/photos with no problem on the i3 onboard graphics, although I haven't played any games, or stress tested it.

I always find people over estimate cpu requirements. 95w i7 may need to be swapped for a 45w part. Until the i7 arrives is running nicely with the g620... excited to see if the i7 works out though.

Bottled it and bought an i5 2405s, which is only 65w TDP - works a perfectly in the build. Very very pleased. Now just need to source a cheapish slot loading blu ray trade and I will be very happy.

I've been looking at that case for a LLano build, how noisy is the power supply?

Thanks

It's not silent when at full tilt, but would still be fine for a htpc or small desktop rig. The only time I noticed the noise was after playing Dirt 3 for an hour or so, when I exited to Windows, I heard it - but it's sat on my desktop and the room was silent aside from that - so not bad at all.

Think it would be super for a Llano build, was thinking the same thing myself, but like to do more non-gaming stuff, so stuff with Sandybridge.
