Also would a Hiper 580 Type R be ok?

MattJones2k6 · 14 Aug 2006 at 20:44

Soulja · 14 Aug 2006 at 20:48

Seasonic 600W or a Tagan 580W for me.

How much do you want to spend?

Soulja · 14 Aug 2006 at 21:15

About £90ish at most

Tagan TG430-U15 430W ATX2.01 Easycon SLi Compliant Modular Silent PSU (CA-007-TG)

I've got one of those and it copes with Conroe @ 3.4 and my 1900XTX. You really don't need to spend £100 on a 500-600w PSU.

Soulja · 14 Aug 2006 at 21:30

Thanks for that, you might of saved me some money to put towards my gfx card

Duke · 14 Aug 2006 at 21:32

No worries :]

It's running watercooling and 2HDs as well btw.

Soulja · 14 Aug 2006 at 21:35

wow, all that from 430w. i always thought it was best to get around 580-600w psu, how wrong was i lol.

Thermaltake 750watt toughpower 17db to 18db can be bought for £75-£86 but its not in stock anywhere. OCUK have the 550watt toughpower for £94 and is nowhere as good so the price of 750watt is good value I have added you to trust. OCZ gamexstream 600watt under 21db £85 ocuk FSP epsilon 600watts slightly louder than the previous 2 psu's £86.

Would go for the Seasonic myself.

Devils-Blood · 14 Aug 2006 at 22:48

I am waiting to see what the new cosair power supplies will retail at, on the reviews I have read they get top marks.

sorry for the thread hijack but i need a new psu for my conroe system only an E6300, but it needs to be the smallest atx one possible with a 120mm fan as it has to go in an X-qpack with a dvd drive

cheers

OCZ gamexstream are smaller than others. 150x140x86mm FSP espilon 140x150x86 thermaltake toughpower 120x120x25 the 600watt and 700watt versions available for £60 to £70
