Is this power supply good?

A friend of mine wants me to build him a very similar system to the one i have but he's going to get a x800pro card instead of my 9800pro. I'm thinking of ordering the Antec True Blue 480 PSU for him. Do you guys think this is a good power supply? Any comments are appreciated.

So the older ones could actually be quieter?
An aluminium case is not as good for absorbing vibrational noises as a steel case but because i have back problems i can't lift a heavier case. It's hard to build a good looking, lightweight, powerful and quiet computer today because things just work against each other so much. But that's my idea of perfection.

Is this Power supply suffiecent for my system?

Hi, Is this PSU powerful enough to run my computer? SILENT PUREPOWER SERIES TT-420AD, 420WATT POWER SUPPLY, +3.3V@30A;+5V@40A;[email protected];+12V@18A;[email protected];+5VSB@2A. My computers specs are as follows: AMD athlon 2700XP, 2xVdata 512mb pc3200, ATI Radeon 9700pro, Seagate SATA 80GB hardrive, Hitachi DVD ROM drive, floppy drive, MSI KT6 Delta FISR. I want to know whether this power supply will have enough power to run my setup as I brought an ICUTE 400watt power supply that couldn't manage(no doubt cause its a cheap peice of sh*t) but since Thermaltake is a decent brand I'm thinking it should manage but I just want to be sure. Cheers

That PSU will support your configuration and then some. I have several TT Silent PurePower 420W in service - no complaints. Dual-fan PSU of good construction. Whenever Newegg puts that PSU on sale for $36.99 with free shipping (regular $42.00 plus shipping), I jump on it.
+3.3V and +5V are not a problem, you would be hard pressed to build a system that can place a combined load greater than 170W on +3.3V and +5V, even if you tried. Your system power needs on +12V rail will be (MAX LOAD):
MSI KT6 Delta FISR = .5A
Athlon 2700XP = 7.2A (AMD Datasheet)
2x V-DATA 512MB PC3200 - N/A
ATI Radeon 9700PRO = 1A (see: O/C Radeon 9800 Pro)
Seagate SATA 80GB = 2.8A
Hitachi DVD ROM = 1.5A
CPU FAN = .25A
2x CASE FAN = .5A
Max Total = 14A (rounded to the next ampere)
Edit: I should point out that 14A is the load expected if all these components are simultaneously placing their MAX load on the +12V, a condition that is virtually impossible to reproduce outside of a test lab. For instance, HDD and CD/DVD drives generate max load during disk spin-up, thereafter demanding much less current for read/write/seek operations (approx. 1A). Same with cooling fans.
A real world 'continuous' consumption figure would be in the neighborhood of 10A.

Does power supply good for 8800GT\9600GT?

hi to all.
i have this power supply
http://www.k-mex.com/Webforms/ProductInfoPage.aspx?KindNo=0000000005&ProductNo=0000000048 (500W)
does this power supply meet the minimum reqiurd for ge-force 8800GT or even to ge-force 9600GT?

To use one of those cards I would say a Corsair VX450W that has +12V~33A single rail would be good choice in the $70-$80 price range. If you were to get 8800 Ultra then a VX550W +12V~41A rail would be better choice. PC Power & Cooling single rails are also very good choice. If you're in the U.S. check newegg for prices as they had some specials going.

All of the A1181 polycarbonate MacBooks use the A1184 60W MagSafe power supply/charger and the A1185 battery. These are the Apple part numbers. Other manufacturers make equivalent replacement products, but the quality may not be acceptable.

Will this power supply work for this tower?

I plan on getting this computer

I feel like everything on the computer is adequate but the power supply is only 300W. I need more than this so I plan on using this power supply to upgrade it.
POWERSUPPLY
Can anyone tell me if this powersupply will fit and perform with the desktop I listed. Also if it does not, is there any suggestions as to what similar Watt power supply will work?
Thanks

Unless, for some reason, Asus didn't use the ATX form factor for that case, that power supply should work fine.
Unless you are upgrading other parts, hockey's concerns aren't warranted. A power supply that is "too big" is never a problem, it's actually better for the power supply because it runs at a lower load. And, the rails on that ThermalTake can manage higher amps than the stock one can, guaranteed.
It's tough to max out a 850watt PSU in a mid-size tower like that.

JCGood1984, welcome to the forum.
The computer should take a standard ATX power supply unit (PSU). I suggest measuring the existing PSU and compare the measurements to the one in the links. If the measurements are the same, it should fit. I don't know anything about the brand, however.

Depending on what company made the PS, most companies over exagerate what they will do, or give a peak power output instead of a constant rated amprage. If thier PS will maintain a constant 200watt under full load, then it will get the job done in a all-in-1 unit. Check this page for power consumption of all your parts. It`s kinda old and the values for the VC and processors could be a bit higher, but it will give you a good idea.

New 8800GTX OC, Power supply good enough?

I bought this http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=28550
It has 3, 12V rails all at 18A each.. 2 6 pin connectors, SLI ready, 550 Watts.... I was told having 2 or more Rails at 18A each would be sufficient enough, or 1 30A rail..
Is 3, 12V rails at 18A each good enough for the 8800GTX OC?

504 watts divided by 12 volts = 42 amps. That 42 amps is spread over three 12 volt rails that have a limit of 18 amps apiece. If you have two 12v rails drawing close to their maximun of 18 amps then the third rail only has 6 amps available for anything that is connected to it.
That is why I suggested that you do some trial and error in order to spread the load more evenly over the three rails. Normally the motherboard's power is provided by one rail leaving the other two rails on a three rails power supply to feed hard drives, optical drives, fans, video cards and anything else that needs 12v power.
You should have plenty of power to run your system but being careful about how things get their power leads to a more stable system that will last longer.

Is this power supply adequate for my system?

I have a Turbolink switching power supply

these parameters won't help anybody {except they may count your electricity bill }, buddy, cause most of even so called 420W psus will have them ....
please post maximal amperes for 5V , 12V , 3.3V rails {these are usually on the sticker on the psu itself, if you don't have the psu andor don't know it and can't get to know then DON'T BUY IT},
your components may get a little hungry and some 420 unreal watts won't help you...
post details or make everybody guess...
ok I've gathered info from http://www.iamnotageek.com/showindex.php?t=54638,
where pic is http://www.asdfhost.com/members/sirxile/My%20current%20Turbolink%20PSU%20-%2011-144-018-03.jpg:
and you should have written : (if it's the same model)
3.3V = 28A
5V = 40A
12V = 18A
=> so if you cut them in half : 3.3 = 46W , 5V=100W , 12V=108W .
by my opinion it's adequate, but if you consider some heavy OCing or adding HDDs
or whatever power consuming (peltiers ), this will turn into no-go.

Will this Power Supply work?

I'm getting my K8N soon, and I've spotted a new power supply that I want. It's an Aspire 500W. I won't BS with you guys - I like the LED's and the adjustable fan knob. It has the specs (max, not peak, of course) below -
3.3 - 28a
5 - 30a
12- 34a
Will this be adequate? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I'm not really planning on putting tons of peripherals in here - 2 hard drives, a dvd drive, and a 6800 GT. If you're running it fine, it ought to handle what i'm putting in there.

Is this computer compatible with this power supply?

I was just wondering how I can tell what power supply is compatible with my motherboard? I am considering on going to bestbuy and buying a better power supply for the use of a graphics card
my new computer is a Gateway - Desktop / Intel® Core™ i3 Processor / 8GB Memory / 1TB Hard Drive
Model: DX4840-03E | SKU: 9973838
and I have an XFX PVT98GYAF3 GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
so i don't know what to get on terms of a power supply, and what is compatible with my computer. I live close enough to the Bestbuy in Moline, Illinois. So I want to get one instore not order one online

I am willing to bet that the current PSU in your computer would support the GPU you are wanting to install on the computer. That GPU is not as power-hungry as a top-end card, so won't utilize too much power.
I honestly would recommend installing the GPU first prior to spending money on a PSU you may not need. If the computer seems to not be working, you should be able to install the corsair 650w PSU into your computer without many complications -- however I would talk to a local Geek Squad Counter-intelligence agent prior to purchasing the product.

Is enough this power supply

hello i have an antec ea green 650w power supply and i want to know if is it enough power to run gtx 680 twin frost III graphic card
thanks i hope your opinions

http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story4&reid=110
It should work fine for a single card, but I would look more toward a single rail higher end psu. IE: Corsair AX , HX or enthusiast series.

Should i stop using this power supply??

ok i know that i asked toooo much about my pc but forgive me i am sorry
i searched for new Power suplly but the best is only 400 watt (+12---15a)
so. should i use my one tell get an other or stop tell buy new one . is there any danger on my pc from using this week psu
thanks
my pc spec:
pro:p4 3.2 1mb cash fsb 800
board: Msi 865 PE NEO2 P SERIES
VGA : HERCULES RADEON 8500
SOUND : CREATIVE LIVE
POWER SUPLY : 300W
+3.3V 12A
+12V 12A
-12V 0.5A
+5V 22A
-5V 0.5A

Let me repeat this one last time.
You current PSU is too weak with only 300watts to spare and only 12A on +12v for a Prescott system. That's not the end. I've told you that a minimum of 18A ~ 20A is needed for any Prescott system and still you choose this 400watts with only 15A. This 15A on +12v PSU will not help out much nor long enough even if it can struggle for a few months, period at times.
Get something like Antec 430watts TruePower or Enermax 465watts or above PSU that has met the requirements of a Power Hunger Prescott.
Right now you situation is like trying to ask a person who's already starving from hunger to take 1 piece of bread per day and later told him that he can have a cup of water to go with the bread which isn't enough to kill the hunger as he needs more than what is provided.

Is this power supply good?
