ripken204 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 the video card and ram looks good, what mobo u have? and why so much power? just get an ocz gamexstream 600w and you'll have plenty of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowarez Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 right now its the DFI SLid-DR Expert (NF4) the power is for overclocking and i know how hungry the sys will get once i start throwing more HDDS and more volts to the ram and cpu, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 well im just telling you that its pointless. a 600w gamextream is overkill, get the 700w if your feeling like it. but these will not help you in overclocking. if u want good overclocking then take that money and get watercooling.

LLXX Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 A thousand watts? How much overclocking are you planning on doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 He's probably not going to do any OCing, he probably just wants it because it has the biggest number of them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowarez Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) not not becuase it has the bigget # of them all come on. i have a old sys that has a enermax 350 and amd 1800 + its running at 2.6ghz with that psu, so i trust enermax in ocing, and i know its overkill but i do plan on going Quad SLi and phyix once the prices come down, Edited September 11, 2006 by Shadowarez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 just get a nice enermax liberty, its such a waste of money buying that. gpu power is droping so you wont need that much power.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817194004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowarez Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) those are great choises and iv been looking into either the ernemax liberty 620 or the ocz 700, but both seem to have little probs like the liberty serisand a magnectic clicking when it shuts off or turns on, and the ocz 700 watt seems to be going through a bunch of faulty psu fans form what ppl are say at ncix, thats were i go to buy my gear, i know its a waste but i was hoping it would be a nice psu for DX 10/am2 and the upcomming quad core cpus, considering i will never try water cooling cept maybe the freezone cpu cooler ($390) still too much but its a sdafe water cooling im too nuubish to try a water colling solution form koolance id prob screw up and fry my board,review from new egg customersPros: lots of power, SLI support, Modular Cabling owns...Cons: Good for makeing Campfires, the first one I had died after a month takeing my cpu and mobo with it, and the second died after 5 months. Im never buying Enermax AGIANOther Thoughts: Buy it if you wanna fry all the components in your pcPros: Nice modular cables....Cons: PSU fried after a week of working great...and took my mobo with it. No pop, no smoke...went to boot up my pc one morning and it wouldn't post. Pain in the neck troubleshooting it since both the PSU a nd Mobo were fried.

Shadowarez Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 lol i dont wanna show off my pus wattage, all i wanted were honest opinions from you guys as you prob have better xp wit these psu's. all i really wanted from 1000w psu was stability, not braggin rights, i figured since the old enermax i have oc's so well why not stick wit em and go with their highend psu, when i bought the 350 it cost me $95 with the Lian-Li PC 70usb case total was like $480, so i thought id trust enermax for quality wityh the galaxy series as the liberty seems to have a 10% failure rate on new egg, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) 350 bucks... I can build a whole d*mn system from it ... ...... ... ...Any way, those "new" power supplies with 5! 12V lanes are cool but so expensive, there are pure quality though. The 1000W version is just a show-off, the 850 would do the same and more then enough for EVERY system, even for 4 4-cored CPUs, 4 cards in SLI, 5 HDDs and some DVD burners . OCing will not make the system THAT much hungry, make it an other 10% or so. If the 620Watt Enermax didn’t had bad reviews I would say go for that one, but I’m wondering why people have problems with it; Almost sure they didn’t split the lines well on the devices!Any way, it’s your choice .(Going to check what that "Fortron FSP Booster X3 300W Power Supply Booster" is, never saw it before...)EDIT: I needed 10 seconds for that to see that THAT thing doesn´t give you any performance but it will make you wallet lighter so YOU can run faster ...
