At last! a non spcr article that actually speaks sense about the power you need for a system.

could really do with some pics of this, im having a hard time visualising what you are doing. ive got a p180 and im about to do a new build so i would like to try this solution as i have a noisy 74gb raptor

ok thanks guys it pretty much confirmed my own thinking but i wanted a few opinions.

the corsair 520 is what im going to go for if there are any problems, looks like a lovely psu!

can my nexus ne4090 handle this spec? would it be borderline or well within psu capabilities at full load + overclock? 8800 gtsOR gtx OR 7950 gx2 OR e6600 overclocked to 3.4 2gb pc6400 asus p5b deluxe OR evga 680i board raptor 74gb samsung spinpoint 80gb dvd 18x writer 2 x case fans scythe ninja rev...

would overclocking the cpu push it do you think? not a problem though, i coudl always wait tilla fter ive upgraded the cpu. ive seen things saying the x1900xt can reach 130w if i do end up doing a crossfire set up i will just upgrade it, wont risk it with the ne4090. sounds good overall, it will sav...

i foudn that leadtek card: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=304431 seems a better option than the bfg no? i actually have heard specific descriptions of the bfg 7800gt being like a hairdryer. anyone know if this card is reasonably quiet? heres the spec i put together: Abit...

thanks for the comprehensive reply. cpl of problems: 7800gt: im not prepared to invalidate a warranty on such an expensive bit of kit, and ive heard 'hairdryer' comparisons for their stock coolers. is the leadtek extreme 7800gt supposed to be quiet (i will pay an extra 40 pounds for tht) im not real...

to be clear im not prepared to change the cooler, can anyone direct me to a relatively quiet stock 7800 gt available in the uk please.

IM IN THE UK SO THIS IS POUNDS STERLING, AND NO I CANT BUY OFF NEWEGG LOL. i need a mobo, psu, gfx card and cpu/cooler. I DONT NEED RAM. i like silent/low noise parts. dual core would be nice but i will consider single. whats the best set up i can get for 5-600 pouinds sterling in the uk? im behind...

to be fair, you slag off his wiring but he says underneath the photo of this


"The assembled system, before I tucked the wires away."

I've read reviews of the x1800. one of them noted that the air coming out of the exhaust was the hottest they had ever felt coming of a gfx card. not exactly scientific but worrying nonetheless. looking at the size of the hsf's on these cards, i wonder how realisitic a very quiet/silent solution wou...

2 gigs pc 3200

dvd writer.

just so i know what sort of power levels i will be pulling the seasonic to.

hmmmm thanks appreciate that reply.

what sort of noise does the s12 500w kick out in comparison to a nexus ne4090 (my current psu)

sorry but could you clarify the 6 pin adapter issue.

basically i think i need to get a psu with a 6 pin cable for future upgradability. do you think this will be an issue in the future?

thanks for the reply...begginning to thing its worth getting a seasonic.

thanks for the full reply i appreciate it.

hi going to upgrade my rig. considering either an abit heatpiped skt 939 mobo or the new asus a8n sli premium - wh9ich is best for overclocking? now as for the cooler, im thinking either an xp-120 with a nexus or a freezer 64 (easier to install and much cheaper) 1. is it easy (and how do i) undervol...

thanks for the comments guys...

two possible problems...

1. i will want a psu with a 6 pin adapter at some point in the future, im guessing all the new cards will have them??

2. will the nexus psu, if it fails, damage any of the components i buy, this is my main worry.

my upgrade specs are... 3800+ x2 with xp-120 and nexus fan, or freezer 64 cooler sapphire x800xl ultimate (has a zalman hsf) seasonic s12 500 psu.

just as a suggestion, but why dont spcr have a dedicated forum section just for polls on specific products reliability. it should be compulsory to enter a serial number (dont know if a poll could bemade to require a serial number entry before entering a poll answer?
