Building my core i5 system and have the choice of 2 power supplies. Which will be better for my overclocking needs? - Watercooled 4gig+.
Mobo is p55m-ud2, i5 750 with one hard disk and optical drive with an 8800gtx.
Antec Earthwatts PSU - EA-500
The max load is rated at 408w with 24amps on the 3&5v rails and 17amps on the 12v rails. The bonus with this psu is it has an 8-pin cpu power connector where as the other doesn't.
OCZ500SXS - 500watt psu
On the otherhand the OCZ psu has a max load of 500watt combined in a little graph type thing with 30 and 18amps on the corresponding rails. Downside is that it only has a 4 pin cpu connector.
Which should I use?
