Which PSU?

MeatLoaf · 5 Feb 2007 at 15:59

Looking to get a new PSU. Needs to power the rig in my sig, plus a later rig that will be an E4300 based rig with a 8800GTS 320Mb or maybe a 8600 Ultra depending on the price.

Which of these is the better? Im leaning towards the Tagan :

OCZ ModStream 450w ATX2.2 Power Supply

Tagan TG480-U01 480W ATX2.0 SLi Compliant Silent PSU

Tagan TG430-U15 430W ATX2.01 Easycon SLi Compliant Modular Silent PSU

Enermax Liberty 400W ELT400AWT ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU

Limited budget of £55

Not sure but i used the psu calculaor and it didnt have a 8800GTS listed so i picked a 8800GTX instead and it came up to 396w.

I dount the GTS 320Mb or 8600 ultra will use as much power so should be fine with the 480w tagan

True enough but a 400w PSU is recommended for a 7600GT but mine runs perfect with 300w

Ive been online reading some reviews and it seems that the 400w Enermax Liberty has the strongest 12v rails, providing upto 30A, compared to 28A of the 480w Tagan and 26A of the tagan modular.

Bit of a hijack here but what would be the PSU recommendation for a 8800GTX/6700/2GB 2-3 HDs setup with the possibility of getting another GTX for SLI?

I think its about 700w
