lol
yeah why not just send my PC to koria while I'm at it

maybe I should have said, no Hipers.

Something from Seasonic, Enermax, FSP, or tagan maybe?
I'm unsure what 400-500W is best out of them

*Note that there is no PCI-e connections as standard equipment on the S12 430w


no pci connector and only 430w rated, this psu might run that rig but it has very little chance of being able to power anything in the future, i'd be a lot happier getting atleast the 500w s12 model for a new purchase rig, or opt for a diff make completely;
Tagan 480W ATX2.0 SLi Compliant is £60
Enermax Noisetaker 535W ATX2.0 SLI Compliant £64


either of those will future proof you incase you want to get x-fire x1900's
 
Using a PSU calculator i get the rig 2 draw around 310w and the pci connector should be in his graphics card box.

Not had any problems with my Enermax Noisetaker 485W, but the 535W is only a couple of £ more... wondered if I missed that when I was ordering or it wasn't there. Would be nice if it was modular but on a budget they're pretty hard to get.

They also have the direct 1-3 days RMA service. :)

well i dont really like PSU calculators but i thought i'd just check your quote of 310w, using a psu calculator i get very economical (i was quite surprised) 320w non-OC for all the things he quoted, but a much more significant 425w max power consumption if the e6300 was to be Oc'd to 2.6ghz @ 1.4volts, im assuming this rig is going to be OC'd atleast that much if possible. This puts it 5watts short of the max rated wattage of that PSU anyway, and any higher OC will put it out of spec. Also adding a second graphics card, HDD or another optical drive whilst OC'd would put it over its rated 430w making this PC virtually non-upgradable without shelling out for a new PSU
 
Yes but 1 he`s not said anything about overclocking 2 why would he want another GPU that would need a new motherboard,i can only spec at what people say, if he had said i want 3.6 out of this chip, if he had said i want duel graphics, if he had said i will be adding a second harddrive, if he had said i want to spend 70-80 on a psu i would have had a look but these are all what IFS.
 
true i didnt notice he selected a single pci-e board, i also did the calculator slightly wrong (put 2conroes down oops:P) and it only comes out at 380w OC'd so 430w would be ok

personally id still buy an SLI compliant psu for an extra tenner :]

regarding OCing, he's speccing an e6300, a DS3 and a scythe cooler, even though he would get a perfectly acceptable stock cooler with the retail cpu if he wasnt intending to push it, HMMMM i wonder whether thats for OCing or not :]

With regards to processors, is TDP a good approximate guide to power consumption?
Click to expand...
overall power consumption tends to be different.
on a 3500 system I found that even with two hard drives and a x800 it was using only 260W from the mains plug.

Was just wondering as the TDP on all desktop Core 2's (bar the XE) is 65w. I believe the XE is 80w. So, one at 3ghz then should use about 80w-ish?
Click to expand...
doesn't work like that sadly, I'd guess the XE are better silicon and have a lower heat output per hz, but I may be wrong
you'ed have to rig up two systems and see
 
Been using a "Seasonic S12 430W Silent ATX2.0 Power Supply £51.69 Including VAT" for about 6 months on the system in sig, can't praise it enough, it's quiet and efficient, have at times ran 3 hard drives, 3 optical drives and 2 USB powered 2.5" drives, never had a problem, can only assume the higher powered models would work equally aswell.
