Will this PSU do as a 'stop gap'?

I'm pretty sure it will be fine, but may as well get your opinions.

It would be fine to power this system:

i5 2500K @ 4.6GHz w' 1.37v
GTX660 OC
5 fans
2 HDD's
Misc stuff like an SSD, sound card & lighting

With a 600W FSP 80+ wouldn't it?

It's an OEM grey-box, nice and weighty, good amount of connectors, 504W and a total of 72A accross the 4 12v rails.

It was originally pulled from a competitor branded pre-built machine.

It would probably be for a month maximum. The GPU will spend a-lot of it's time at 100% load while folding, and I will probably do some gaming and such as well.

Here's a link to the product page. It looks fairly decent to be honest. http://www.fspgroupusa.com/fsp60080epn85/p/852.html I believe it is actually more efficient than my OCZ ModXstream Pro 700W, and it actually only has 30W less on the +12v

Cheers

Yknow I think I pretty much answered my own question a few moments after posting :rolleyes:

The FSP:
Model = FSP600-80EPN(85)
Max. Power = 600W
OEM = FSP
+12v rails = 4
Amperage per rail = 18A
+12v Max. Load = 504W
Efficiency = 80+ Bronze

My OCZ:
Model = OCZ700MXSP
Max. Power = 700W
OEM = Sirtec
+12v rails = 2
Amperage per rail = 25A
+12v Max. Load = 552W
Efficiency = 80+

Looks alright. Not so sure about the quad rails though.

Not very good. It should work, but I'd try to get a replacement ASAP.

Already have a replacement but I want to leave it boxed up until I do my full re-build & build log. (have a new PSU, motherboard, SSD, and parts for a custom loop, so i'm selling my old stuff off)

Easily.. that system will only use around 200w

Nearer 300w, but it will still handle it,

My stock gtx 660 + 2500k drew a max of 150w from the wall during 'normal usage' but this was on a platinum psu. This would equal approx 135w actual load.

2500k @ stock uses around 65w fully loaded

and around 100w oc'd to 5ghz

I tested the coretemp power reading by comparing the difference with my power meter and its pretty much spot on. This is why I said 200w :-)

Fair enough, they used a much more power hungry cpu though which would explain those figures

i7-3960X @ 4.3GHz

Apologies my friend

FSP PSUs are decent enough. My first branded PSU was an FSP and to my knowledge lasted at least 10 years.

The tend to make budget/mid range branded PSUs for Zalman, Antec, OCZ, Silverstone and others.

Don't worry guys, I found another solution which is just to use my other PC for a while

Hence the sig change lol.
