PSU Probs

LtMatt · 19 Oct 2011 at 09:48

So my fsp 800watt psu has developed a really high pitched whine whenever i run a intensive 3d application. Also when i heavily overclock my unlocked 6950 and run the heaven benchmark it shuts off my pc as i click to quit the benchmark. I guess its not providing enough power to the graphics card.

So i need to send it back for an rma (not on ocuk but elsewhere)

Before i do that i will need to order a replacement. Its unlikely that i will ever go crossfire, as my mobo is x16-x4 however who knows what will happen in the future.

I want a modular power supply with minimal wires, but it must offer excellent performance and power my heavily overclocked and unlocked 6950, i dont want to have any problems not providing enough power. I have a budget of £100.

I like the look of this one, but it might be slightly out of my price range once i add on delivery.

What would you guys suggest?

"I like the look of this one" which one

Thinking off the top of my head, you should get a solid PSU for that budget.

Yep forgot to include the link.

Its been added now.

The xfx one is out of my range though, but that green fan blade gives me tingles down below.

I don't see why you would have issues, it's a pretty standard size PSU.

Right, thanks guys ive ordered the XFX pus.

hmm maybe you'll need to remove the 2.5'' bay section at the bottom. apart from that, should be ok. measure the inside of the case.

I have the 2.5 near the front intake fan. I've completly removed the 3.5 hard drive bay and put the 2.5 in its place so i dont think that will be an issue for me. Thanks.
