Hi all,
This is my first post here - Not been here since I built my last computer back in the days dual cores where just out
My 2 questions are:
1: What UPS is suitable for a computer using - OCZ ZS Series 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply [OCZ-ZS550W-UK]?
Rig will have:
-Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail [BX80637I53570K]
- Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard [GA-Z77-D3H]
- MSI HD 7850 Power Edition Twin Frozr IV OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card w/ Nexuiz & Dirt Showdown PC Games [V273-014R].
PSU calculator shows wattage needed is between 450 and 520 (depending on what bits I will add to it in future). I would prefer to buy from overclockers, but if one isnt available (and external links arent allowed) then id be grateful for a VA(?) suggestion. Just need enough power to run computer for 3 mins max.
2. What tweaking software is used nowadays? I guess I use bios for cpu, and a program for graphics card? (I think it was ati-tool, dont know if it exists now). Lastly, any other advised software would be greatly appreciated.
Kindest Regards
