yep, it is always a LOT less than people expect it to be... and an easy way to overcharge people. Don Pedro has had an 800W PSU put in his build... I can't believe he needs more than 620W, maybe even less than 500W |

funny you say that hitting... 450 current rig - 650 watts with mild oc spec on newer combos. buying cheap PSU is never a good idea, read about the capacitor aging & re-calculate basically over time & with use the capacitors are no longer able to hold so much of a charge so you gradually lose precious watts.. Centi I am really surprised your P4? rig is only using 212w

yep, i'm more concerned about having a PSU that won't blow up, and having the correct amps on the rails... so thats why i would never get a cheap PSU. I need 296W max with this system... sick, i'm amazed ur needing that many watts... |

I do not overclock whatsoever and I need 469watt. Edit: this thing can't possibly be correct. 4 120mm LED Fans use 125watt it says, that is bollocks! Edited by Flying on 17-02-2008 18:15 Control yourself Take only what you need from him |
