Re: Psu

are u sure you have a ATX capable power supply and not a Micro ATX? But other than that, that psu is good and will keep ur system cool for a couple of years. I always change out my psu once every three years because it usually dies after that.

Re: Psu

well i have no clue how would i see what kind

Re: Psu

I'm not too familiar with aspire, but mostly what I've heard is they're not great. I would stick with a well known quality manufacturer, such as:

• Antec
• Coolermaster
• Thermaltake
• OCZ
• Seasonic

The one I've heard is the best of the best is PC Power & Cooling. But personally I think it's waaaay overkill (in price) unless you're building a supercomputer. Any of the above should do you right. I have an Antec Truepower 430W and I have no complaints

Re: Psu

can anyone tell me, how i would find out if that aspire would work in my PC?

Re: Psu

It's a matter of preference. First you need to find out what will work. Count the number of pins your current psu has.

Re: Psu

ok would it say on it or do i have to count them, so how so i count theres little white connectors that say like P8,P6, P4

Re: Psu

Antec's quality has dropped recently, some argue they should be stripped of their SLI approved status. Ennermax, PC&P are two solid comanies. PC&P is a hard ocp fave.

20 amps on each +12v rail? 4 +12v rails? Holy sh*t! :shock:

Re: Psu

to bad dual x1900xt's wont run on it . ( 1 +12v seems to be the only thing working for those)

When loaded heavily the Mushkins 4 12v rails combine into one single 44 + amp rail. It will most certainly run X1900 XT's in crossfire.

They will soon be releasing 550W, 800W, and 1KW . These will pretty much be in direct competition with PC Power & Cooling. The prices will also drop in a few weeks with this 650 watt retail around $169.
