PSU for Xfire system

goreblast · 12 Apr 2006 at 19:01

Got a Opteron 170, X1900XTX, X1900XTcrossfire, DFI RDX200, 2gig RAM, Xfi, 2 Raptors and 2 other Hard drives, 1 optical drive system. Powered at the moment by a 520W OCZ PSU. I can Fold all day long, but system crashes when I try to run 3dmark01. Need a new PSU?

Got one here in another crossfire system - what about the FSP Epsilon 700 FX700-GLN - opinions?

I suppose I could test the Liberty I have here over Easter and see if it works. Afterall probably too late to get anything before Easter now anyway.

Would love a PC Power and Cooling Turbo Cool 1kW, but thats crazy money!

Maybe, maybe not - would future proof you for a bit - add a few more drives, one of these physx cards and some uber cooling. And you wouldnt have to worry about lack of power, but 350 quid (ex delivery) is a bit steep!

Will try the Liberty - it powers a X1800 Xfire system OK

Grace from FSP states that of the 12V lines. "It shows max 15A at the moment but they have updated and passed the safety certificates on 18A already. The OCP is actually 20A"

Yep will get one, but not here, way cheaper elsewhere (over £20 when shipping is included).

I do indeed pay my own electricity bill at normally £300 per quarter, has been as high as £420 !!!
