XtremeMaC Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 ok my system is amd and some psu's state that they're for p4's what's the deal with that? how are they customized for p4 or athlon? i've looked at Enermax EG465P-VE FC 460W Power Supply For P4 SystemAntec True Power 550 550W Power Supply For P4 and AMD System Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1K Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 The P4 or ATX2 power supply has two power connectors just like P4 motherboards have...@buletovI had to buy strongest power supply since it has to hold two 80 gigs SATA hd-s, P4 2,8GHz, 2x256 DDR Kingston HyperX, GeForce 3 Titanium 4200, Pioneer DVD-RW +/-, Sound blaster LIVE digital sound card, everything nice settled on my Asus P4C800 Deluxe motherboard and firmly fitted in Thermaltake V1000A Supertower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkady187 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Wow simons thats a nice looking psu. I myself have an amd 2500+ overclocked to 3200+ using abit nf7. One 120 gig seagate and one 80 gig WD hd. An ati radeon 9500 pro overclocked to 330/315. 7 case fans one cd-rw, fan monitor, a pci fan card (for blowing cool air over the radeon) all of it was ran by a 420 watt true antec. Now its got a 480 true blue antec which I swear by for stability. Not bad for I believe 70 dollars at the time.Just my two cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 @arkady187 nice, isn't it? i have myself the levicom 420w (+3,3V 28A, +5V 32A, +12V 19A,-5V 0,8A,-12V 0,8A,+5VSB 2,5A). i've got 5 fans, SATA HD, Audigy2 PCI, Radeon 9600 Pro, CDR, DVDR & CDRW, 2 neons and 3000+@3400+ so i think that it was a good choice.i must say that i specially like the dark look with the 2 blue fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
