Power Supply Spec wanted!

[Rooster212]

My friend is looking for a PSU that has the following attributes:

- 2 or more 12V rails
- Modular
- 38A on each of the 12V rails
- 600W+, more if possible.

I said this was entirely possible, until he said he wants it for under £100. Anyone have anything that comes close to this spec? I think he would be alright if there is only 1 12V rail, as long as it wasn't too pricy.

Thanks in advance!

That looks good, also found Corsair TX650M which kinda fits the bill, at 58A on the rail...

seeing if thats ok with him

He's wondering if that would be ok to SLI 560's or 570's in the future? I think its too low on the watts front...

Does 1 single rail really matter? I have OCZ ZX 1000W, that is only 1 rail but at 83A so its pretty hefty!

just curious, why does he want lots of power rails? a single big rail is better than lots of little ones

 

[Rooster212]

Thats what I said, i don't know why he wants more than 1.... he just said he doesn't even want to SLI at the moment!

Ok one more question, could he run a 570 off a 750W 2x24A rail'd supply? I think he could? Thats the supply he has at the moment!

There is no "ones better than the other" both have advantages and disadvantages.

He can most certainly run a pair of GTX570's off that Antec for example.

Thanks for your help guys. think he is going to keep his current PSU and get a better graphics card.

As long as he doesn't go mental with the graphics card choice(single card, stick too 570/6950 or lower) then the 48A will be ok.

Just to confirm, that Antec PSU will power Gtx 570 SLI?

Yes (the 750w new truepower).

750w or more is what you need for GTX570 in sli and obviously make sure its a good PSU, which that Antec certainly is.

850W will do GTX580's sli.

Ok, i have the one above coming
