I run a PC power and Cooling 510 deluxe...love it !

 

[Jeff7181]

True 430

 

[edmundoab]

Enlight 420W and its been doing an awesome job for me.

I upgraded from a 300W to this about 1 and a half years ago.
At current , if you are able to acheive stability at 300W I think its already the bare minumum you can stay.

Try going 400W above at this point. Then your 9800pro can enjoy the power it needs

gotta keep those rails strong

antec truecontrol 550 sucks to be honest...

the voltage pots to control the rails barely raise the voltage at all...

i saved the money and got an antec 430W truepower and modded all the rails myself so i get 3.3, 5.2, 12.4

 

[Shimmishim]

oh yeah and i've also modded someone elses truecontrol 550 cuz they weren't getting the voltages they needed by the adjustable pots...

 

[Thor86]

Antec Trupower 550. No problems whatsoever with any of the latest hardware plus 4 SCSI drives and 2 IDE Optical drives all powered from it.

 

[herbyscrub]

Tru330 here.

 

[earthman]

Antec Truepower 550.

TruePower from Antec is the most advanced line of PC power supplies from the company that has led the way in power supply design and quality since 1986. These power supplies feature dedicated output circuitry for each voltage so that each output delivers maximum power whenever you need it. To make sure these voltages stay accurate, TruePower also includes voltage feedback circuitry to improve system stability

Those suckers are expensive. I wouldn't spend more than $80 a PSU unless the rig REALLY needed it. If your not overclocking any good quality 350W psu should be able to run most rigs fine. I vote for the Enlight 420W, only $39 and should be able to handle anything you throw at it.

 

[Acanthus]

Antec Truecontrol 550w.

Extremely pleased with it.

I would strongly suggest an upgrade, but if you want to check for yourself, just watch an MBM under load.

Ditto.

I have an ANtec TruePower 480W..I have had it for at least 1.5yrs now...

my 12v..11.92
5v ..........4.95
3.3v........3.26


Now:
P4 2.4b@2.9 at 1.625....actually 1.6v
1gb Kingston valuram(pc2700 2.5v) but runs pc3200 2.6v 2.5/3/3/6
cpu/fsb 4:5
9700pro 351/331
hhd 2x 160gb maxtor
dvdrom
dvdrw
cdrw
audigy 2
adaptec 2906 scsi card for my scanner

I tried to go back to 166fsb but the cpu is not liking it at all..crashes in games and even in winxp pro now...I guess the cpu is the limit..when i bought it was tested to run at max 2.95..I have not tried going up to 162 as it needs more voltage so I am happy for now

I was able to in winter of Florida able to run my P4 2.4@3.0 with pc2100 crucial ram at 166fsb..with some issues in games starting in Jan after 1 yr...

My system then:
P4 2.4@3.0 166fsb at 1.725..this mobo reads .25 v high
512mg crucial pc2100 cas2.5/3/3/7 at 166 1:1
Abit I7Max2 rev2
9700 pro 351/331
aureal vortex 2
adaptec 2906
dvdrom
dvdrw
cdrw
3 hdd for awhile, but then went to 2 x160


Now I hear these Antec TruePower are not great for O/Cing P4's...since the 12v line is just ok...so now I wonder if I should try and get a quiet 500w PS for my future needs
