vegettoxp Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Hey GuysWhat's happening? I just wanted to get your opinion on what good brand of Power Supply I should get for my upcoming Conroe Platform. I like PS that look cool, but I don't want that old style Power Wires. I want a PSU that doen't have whole a lot of wire mess. So can you guys recommend me good Power Supply Brand for my Conroe Platform, I would be really thankful!THX! P.S. Fusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big poppa pump Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Get a modular PSU! But then again they arent as effecient as the regular ones.Get anything by OCZ, Enermax Liberty, Forton, or if you can PC Power & Cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigeratiPrime Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 From what I have researched higher Watts is usually unnecessary unless you have more than 1 video card. For example my Shuttle XPC included a PSU in the barebones kit - SilentX 240 - my system really only uses around 86W normally, if I am gaming around 125W. Power Supply's with higher efficiency waste less electricity and thus produce less heat thus requiring less cooling and thus lower rpm and thus less noise. Seasonic makes very high efficiency PSU's but I dont own one yet so I cannot say much about them.http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....anufactory=1697Heres a good article: Power Supply Fundamentals & RecommendationsHOW MUCH POWER IS ENOUGH?http://www.silentpcreview.com/article28-page3.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubar Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 (edited) OCZ, Antec, Seasonic, Forton, Hiper, Tagan, Enermax. Any of them should be excellent.Also once you have picked out one that you like, Check on the nVidia website to see if they are SLi Certified becayse that is always a bonus to have. Least then youll know it can take the beefy cards like 7900GTX and 7950. Edited July 20, 2006 by ScubaSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJM Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) Speaking of microwaves, most computers now operate above the frequencyof microwave ovens (2.45 GHZ).http://hypertextbook.com/facts/1998/HowardCheung.shtml Edited July 21, 2006 by RJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 get the ocz gamexstream or a nice enermax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Aren't the GameXStream high-watt power supplies? Conroe, as we all know, isn't a power-hungry beast, so you can easily get away with 300-400W if you have a single GFX card, 500W if you have SLI.http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showd...?i=2795&p=7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 according to that review there is only ~ a 10 watt difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
