  1. How much upgrade headroom with 500W PSU?

    Well with 36A on the combined 12v rails, I think even a 5870 would do. Now with OC'ing the 920 too, I'd be a bit cautious with that too, but should be fine with the GPU upgrade.

  2. Where is my Bottleneck ???

    Upgrade the video card and possibly get a 2nd HD for your data files. The 2nd HD will be your scratch (working) drive. This will allow for a better photoshop experience, but getting the video card is all that you really need for now.

  3. Antec Earthwatts 430 caught on fire and fried my PC!!

    This is the same experience I've had with the Antec RMA process twice in my life (2 seperate PSU's). This kind of support makes me want to buy more Antec PSU's :)

  4. What heppened to the Antec Earthwatts EA-430?

    I think that maybe Antec is changing the PSU design a bit. I've been very happy with the 3 Antec PSU's that I have. 2 of them needed RMA'ing close to the warranty period (even was bought used through ebay) and I was plesantly surprised with the friendly and helpful Antec RMA staff. I think your...

  5. Best Bang for Buck Recommendations

    any budget?

  6. New rig, please help with some pro advise :)

    Personally here is what I'd be concerned with: * The i7 950 is quite spendy and you can just OC the i7 920 to 3.6-3.8 ghz with some additional cooling, so why spend ~$300 more for something you can do for quite a bit less. You can also use the $300 elsewhere in your build too. * Depending on...

  7. i7 Build Advice

    If your not OC'ing than you wouldn't need an aftermarket CPU HSF. Not that the added cooling is a bad thing, but that is $ that you could save or use towards other parts. Personally you don't even need the Corsair 750tx for a single GPU (which is what I'd suggest). Any quality 400-500w PSU will...

  8. i7 Build Advice

    Well looks pretty good. What are the things that your going to be doing with this build? If your not gaming, than the 2 x 4870's isn't needed. I'd probably get the 5870 myself and than upgrade in 12-24 months, depending on your tastes. I'm also assuming that your going to OC your CPU, since you...

  9. Building System Need Advice oh...GoDs of AnandTech

    That is pretty much what I'd consider, especially since your on a tighter budget. An i7 920 is a nice chip to have, especially since you would be getting it for ~$200 at Microcenter!! If your not gaming much on the 4650 than it'll work. Just remember that at 1600 x 1200 resolution you will need...

  10. Building System Need Advice oh...GoDs of AnandTech

    Okay first off, your selections are not what I'd call a gaming system. The i7 920 is one of the best CPU's you can get right now, especially if you can get it for the ~$200 price at Microcenter (walk-in price). The 4650 GPU is totally wrong for a gaming system. It can help in gaming, but it's...

  11. Advice on replacement psu

    The Animal is right. The Corsair 400cx is plenty for what you have right now. Even the Antec 430w PSU will do too. It has the same amount of 12v amperage that the Corsair 400cx does. Here are some others: $70 shipped!! 34A on the combined 12v rails!! 2 x 6 PCI-e power connectors! Antec...

  12. Seasonic S12 SS-550HT Enough?

    With 41A combined on the 12v rails, you shouldn't have ANY problem with your setup that you are talking about. Unless your going really extreme on your OC'ing, you should be fine with the i7 OC'd too. What case do you have this system in?

  13. Please help with build

    Generally it isn't too bad of a setup. I have a few questions though: * Did you have a budget for this build? * What parts are you adding to this build? * What resolution are you going to be gaming under? Other thoughts: * The q8200 is a good CPU, but isn't usually the best CPU for...

  14. Which PSU should I use on my new i7 920 build?

    Where did I say that I did extensive research on the PSU? I stated that I had read 1 review on the PSU. I also stated my points and that my viewpoint was my opinion, so don't make me out to be something that I didn't start off with. I think I clearly stated where I was coming from and was just...

  15. Which PSU should I use on my new i7 920 build?

    Well my point was thinking about the worse case scenario. Yeah I'm sure if has more available, but their sticker doesn't state that, which throws a flag up in my world. I know what the Antec and the Corsair can do, so I recommend them. Now the 1 review that I did read about the Enhance was...

  16. 650 or 750 or 850

    If you want to save ~$35 than the Antec BP550w PSU all that you really need. It's modular too! $65 shipped!! Has 32A on the combined 12v rails, which is plenty for your current build. Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC Power Supply -...

  17. Which PSU should I use on my new i7 920 build?

    You don't just add them up. If you look at the sticker closer you will notice that the Enhance supplies ~350w on the combined 12v rails (150w for 3.3v & 5v + ~3A on the 3vsb line = ~153w total). You take the 3.3v/5v/5vsb lines combined and subtract from the total wattage. So you get 500w (total)...

  18. Which PSU should I use on my new i7 920 build?

    I'm not sure the Enhance PSU is a good one or not. It looks like it'll support about 29A on the combined 12v rails. The Antec and the Corsair supply 30A on the 12v rails, so they would be a better option, IMHO. The only thing that you'll need if you SLI is the extra 6 pin PCI-e power connector...

  19. 650 or 750 or 850

    The 650 is more than enough for any single GPU out! If your going to Xfire/SLI than the 750 would be a better selection, even though the 650 can work well with Xfire/SlI too.

  22. Building a top notch i7 machine

    Some professionals will need it, but for most people it's a non-issue. The i5 is looking like the PhII x4 match with some added benefits. Most of the review sites have the i5 750 on par or a bit better than the PhII x4 955/965. The basic benefits look like less power when not running and having...

  23. i5 almost budget gaming rig!

    Let us know how well the system works out for you. And please list your specs when you mention the results that you get.

  24. Building a top notch i7 machine

    Well you could save a little $ and get a quality 550w PSU. Not sure what specs you have for the build, but I'd buy the i7 build if it fit within your budget. The i9's (6 cores) will be upgradeable on most of the i7 mobo's, IIRC, so that is a definate bonus. The i5's look interesting, but who...

  25. i5 almost budget gaming rig!

    Sept. 10th if the quote below means anything: "Big news for the Graphic Card industry. AMD?s ATI Radeon 5000 series GPUs are expected to launch on September 10 via a private event we talked about earlier. The news though still not officially announced in this context - did originate from AMD...

  26. Need Advice on Computer Upgrade Please !

    Your basically getting a better heat sink on the PI Black ones, which I'd probably get, especially if your going to OC later down the road. The other set will do just fine too. You have to be aware of the heat sinks on the PI Black ones, if you have space issues, so keep that in mind.

  27. i5 almost budget gaming rig!

    Yeah that is the combo that I linked above. I see the i5 750 is already $10 over MSRP or what Intel says they should be selling for.

  28. i5 almost budget gaming rig!

    Here is what I'd buy right now if I was buying an i5 build right now for gaming purposes: $305 i5 750 w/Gigabyte UD2 mobo. $273 - $10 MIRc = $263! combo is: AMD 4890 1 gb GPU w/4gb's of G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1333 mHz RAM! $125 Antec 300 case w/Antec New TP-550w PSU combo!! $75 shipped! WD...

  29. Need Advice on Computer Upgrade Please !

    Sounds like the q9550 would be the best upgrade you can get without spending too much. Remember to FLASH your BIOS before you install the q9550 (if you go that way). Here is what I'd consider: * DDR2 800 mHz RAM that runs at stock voltage would be the best bet. Leaves more room to OC when/if...

  30. System overclock less stable with time?

    Also the PSU can also be affected, especially if your on the limits of the PSU. What are the specs. of the system??

  31. Shrinking my pc

    Is it possible to laydown the tower on its side?? Not sure if that'll work, but will solve your "height" problem without spending a dime!!

  32. Looking for a mother board

    Can you give us a little more information. What CPU are you going to be putting into this mobo?

  33. Probably a stupid question, but...

    I think the PSU is under-rated for what you want to do. Your only going to have 24A on the combined 12v rails AT THE MOST! I did find a link to the PSU details that I was looking for. It looks like this is an older style PSU (more power on the 3.3v & 5v rails than the 12v rails). I'd changed out...

  34. Geforce 250GTS on a 570W PSU; why isn't it working?

    Exactly what I was thinking. You should double check that your GPU has the PCI-e power connections plugged in too (I'm just assuming you haven't checked that since you didn't state it).

  35. is my PSU up to the task?

    What is your budget for this build? I'd probably recommend an Antec/Corsair/Seasonic/PC&C PSU over a Coolermaster, even though the one you linked looked okay.

  36. Which system is a better value?

    Either will do, but personally I like about 4 gb's of RAM with Vista, but that is just me. My wife's laptop does fine for her on Vista 32bit, but she doesn't know what she's missing. I'd just go with the cheapest option if I were you.

  37. is my PSU up to the task?

    I think your PSU might be a bit too under powered/over rated. By your link you have 210w on the 3.3v and 5v rails, which only leaves about 225w for the combined 12v rails. This would equate to about 18-20A for the 12v rail. If your PSU is over 2 yrs. old, you can expect about a 20% reduction in...

  38. Considering 2 diff builds. Opinions desired ;-)

    Here is how I see things: * i7 is the best you can get, and you'll pay for it. * C2Q/PhII are about equal, generally. The PhII CPU's are a bit better generally too, so hard to call that one. The benefit is that the PhII socket will last longer than the s775, but who knows how long that will be...

  39. Considering 2 diff builds. Opinions desired ;-)

    I think you summed up either option pretty well. The i7 is the better setup, IMHO, and will last you through more upgrades than the s775 will. Now i5 is coming out next week and maybe you'll find something a little cheaper and still get a performance upgrade too. I'd probably wait for the i5...

  40. diablotek = crappy

    27A > 19A !!! :) Yeah the Antec EW 380w PSU is quite nice and has been pretty quiet for my needs. Been running an e6700/ATI x1800xt/2 gb's DDR2 800 mHz/2 HD's/1 DVD for quite some time. I have run the x1800xt on a 20A RAIDMAX PSU and had no issues, but I bought the Raidmax PSU/case combo way...
