eXtreme PSU calculator

[mnemonik23]

Need to know which PSU to buy? Calculate the wattage first:

Enjoy!

What are your system specs, need to know that to see what kind of wattage and compatiblites you require.

 

[TStep]

pretty nice, thanks

 

[FNC Jon]

lol i read the question wrong, i read it as you asking which to buy, not her eit will help.. hehe looks cool

 

[Mellman]

Pretty neat tool since I can never find my Maximum PC magazine that has this chart in it!

Nice link, I only had an older one which added a lot of guesswork to the calc. This one is spot on with the components selection.

Thanks,

Mike G

Hmm... looks very similar to this one. I guess they used the same template

by far the best one i found OP. i stumbled across it somewhere and ws gonna link it but searched and gound this thread. figured with the constant ?'s abot which P to get this might need a resurrection

That site has options for dual capable processors, but doesn't have a "Number of CPUs" option? Lazy bastards.

According to that calculator, I'm using 515W, 5 more than my PSU is rated at.

they're trying to get you to upgrade, lol.

i noticed that about the dualies too but, hey, they did better than i. it's pretty cool for down and dirty and quick and is an actual working link as opposed to almost every other i find linked here.

That site certainly recommends on the high side.

They say i need a 396W PSU!

Hell, I just paid $230 for this PSU in May. I've been thinking about throwing in a second PSU if I ever upgrade any further.

Edit: Oooh, I need to add in 30 watts for my new Radeon 7000 that's coming in this weekend. That'll bring me up to 545W! :Q

And with my planned next upgrade... 815W.

gave me a 363w for a 3200 90nm, i gig, 6800gt, 3 sata's, 1 pci pvr card, 2 opticals, 4 fans and a controller. seemed about right.

i take what these websites say with a grain of salt. they always over-inflate the wattage they say you need. :roll:

i don't think it's something you use to run out and just buy a psu with, but it is a helpful starting point.

edit- and of course they say at the top the figure is for like 100% utilization, so every item you use would have to be running at the same time, lol.

 

[wseyller]

I got 442. I have a 500w supply

No, it looks more like they lifted the same source code :roll:

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

:Q 461?

I'm running it all on a 350watt enermax and a 230 watt AT at the bottom of my case.

all i get from that link is this.

 

[imported_itr]

i guess these are the kind of wattages they recomend for psus like thermaltake and other inflated psu brands.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Hmmm, my future computer (AMD 64 3000+, 6600GT, etc) they say should only take 229 Watts. The other test said a bit higher though, at 243 Watts.

 

[Kid Vicious]

sticky vote. (or combine with a popular psu 'howto' thread)

been using this a lot recently to map expansion for my current/dream systems.

And you don't notice any similiarities at all? :roll:
