PSU makes and models ?

Pimmo2000 · 27 Dec 2007 at 13:21

As some will have seen I've posted in several areas as I spec and build my new rig.

I'm think 600w - 800w would do the job and am aware that you pay to keep things safe !

I'm looking module.. if thats the word.. the one with the one big wire and then slots to plug others in .. to keep things tidy!

Anyone got any suggestions?

Is that enough? I'd like to be able to jump to SLi at some point

Depends on What cards you where running in the SLI

I'm only asking cause I dont know, but wouldnt I be better with a more power PSU.. too much is better than not enough and all that

Well, if you have a 1000watt psu, your computer will only only take how much is needed. So if you require 500watts, the other 500 watt is doing nothing. So more is better but too much is a waste of money. Try using a Power Calculator to see how much power your system will require.

Any links mate ? I cant find one with a Quad core listed

The Corsair HX 620w meets your requirements, modular, supports quad core + SLi'd 8800 series cards and has power to spare.

It certainly does.. what PSU's do you have in your systems?

Another vote for the HX 620w if you want modular. Very quiet PSU as well as having the power to handle most situations but most importantly!, it will do what you are asking from it Pimmo2000 .

You can call me Pimmo

Thanks for thw advice
