Hi all, I have been without a PC for 3 weeks now, and I am getting pretty p***ed off about sharing the family PC. My Sumvision 500Watt 17A PSu finally failed after 3 years of use. I have the money now, for a new PSu. I just read the PSu sticky, and thankfully to B, I was just about to order an enermax liberty series, phew, saved there. Anyway, I also read that the thermaltake toughpower are decent for my kind of setup. A 600Watts one too. Heres what I have copy n pasted from the place I am going to order it from: -------------------------------------------------------------- Thermaltake W0103RB 600W ToughPower Black PSU Complies with ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V version SLI, Cross-Fire, and Dual Core CPU ready Next generation four +12V rails(12V1, 12V2, 12V3, 12V4) supports high-end graphic card and PC system (combined loading of 48A) Independent Voltage Circuit: offers unflappable current delivery under heavy load and makes voltage output more stable Active Power Factor Correction (PF>0.99) and high efficiency (up to 85%) Extremely good voltage regulation (±3%): provides steady voltage for system Industrial grade components (capacitor, transformer, etc) High reliability: MTBF>120,000 hours Mirror effect housing and reliable 14cm ball-bearing fan Protections: Over Current, Over Voltage, and Short-Circuit protection Safety / EMI Approvals: CE, CB, TUV, FCC, UL, CUL, and BSMI certified 5.25" Device Power 7 + 6 SATA Just for reference, heres the link to where I am buying it: Eclipse Computers - Product Details -------------------------------------------------------------- It is at the top of my budget including P&P, It is also going to be powering a reasonably powerful system, like this - Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Socket 939 (Maybe a little overclocking) ePoX 9NDA3I nFORCE 3 board with AGP 4 Sticks of DDR RAM ATi Radeon X1950 Pro in AGP form from saphire 4 Pin PCI E required Creative X-fi Music XTREME PCI sound card PCI Network Card 100Mb from Genius 3 Optical drives (2 DVD RW and a DVD ROM) 2 Hard drives - SATA2 320GB, 80GB IDE Floppy drive and 3.5" Card reader Less than 6 Case fans all blue LED ones about 8 USB devices connected at 1 time Any suggestions on whether the Thermaltake Toughpower 600W is enough?
The Toughpower's seem to be pretty good. I need to add them to the list, as that line is set for today's power balances.
