Please recommend power supply

Just purchased an MS-9130, to run a single Athlon 64 FX53, along with an AGP card, and the usual assortment of peripherals. Machine is used as a student desktop, for coding, some medium heavy graphics work, etc. Can you suggest a solid and reliable power supply to use with this board? Thanks!

Is this one OK too? Hope so, because it's the one I ordered...sorry couldn't wait! Thanks.

MSI KT6 Delta MOBO - recommended power supply

My power supply exploded , I think, and I cannot power up the system. Hopefully this has not affected the rest of the system: chip, graphcard etc.
What voltage power supply should I have for this particular motherboard?
cheers

I'm sorry some of you are having problems with cheap power supplies. That is beside the point, however. I can only state what I know from experience, as I have never taken any classes in switching supply design. I have absolutely zero (0) problems with cheap supplies. And any motherboard that is so power hungry that it can itself overdraw a power supply is very poor design. As I said, I ran my HP Pavilion xt983 with a 200-watt cheap-o PSU with all that stuff in my previous post for over 4 years with no problems (and the PSU still works even after the mobo died from bad capacitors). I am using it to rebuild the exact same (minus HP mobo) system when the replacement mobo (crappy Chaintech) comes back this week from being repaired under warranty.
I never said wattage was the only metric - it's just a guide, as no manufacturer I know of specifies exactly how much and what type of current anything they build uses in the computer world (nor would I trust the spec if they did) - it changes under load. Most people use max figures to decide how much current they need. I just don't want people thinking they need an expensive PSU to run their good to mediocre PC. I don't use junk and my PCs last for years on end (actually never had one I built die for any reason, knock on wood). You do not need a high-wattage or even big namebrand PSU at all, unless you are building a very high-end PC (with light cathodes, water cooling, light kits, multiple every kind of drives, etc. - meaning you plan to abuse the system). The run-of-the-mill PC needs no more than a cheap (non-junky) PSU that can provide at least 17 amps on the 12V rail. That's what I use and that's what I recommend. Wattage should be at 300+ watts to "allow for expansion". Use the calculator. See what all you have to add to get up anywhere near 430 Watts. It can be done, but I would never tax a system that way. The bottom line is watts are only a limiting factor, not a design factor. If you add up all the rails on a typical 430-Watt PSU, it is way over 430 watts. However, if you use all the 12V amps it can turn out and still stay near 12 volts, most of the 5V amps, and most of the 3.3V amps by overloading the system with doodads and whatnots, the 430W limit will matter. As long as you build what I consider a normal system, you'll never use 430 Watts. All decent PSUs can supply enough 3.3V and 5V current (should be around 30-40+ amps each), but many of them are deficient on the 12V rail. Looking for a PSU that can churn out 17+ amps on the 12V rail usually means it can handle about any normal load (meaning single processor, mobo, a HDD or two, a FDD, a few sticks of RAM, and DR/DVD burner or two, and a few expansion cards with no strange mods like lights and 100 fans, water cooling, etc.) on all rails.
So, to recap: For everyday computing, watts are only a limiting factor, so don't get less than 300 in case you really want that power hungry device of the future or want to build a top-end system now. Current is critical, so don't get anything that's puny on any rail (3.3+5V = ~30-40+ amps each and 12V = 17+ amps). Ignore all the "this power supply rocks" junk you'll see in bulletin boards and on Newegg (and other retailers) and look at the specs yourself. Namebrand means as much as you think it does - some have a good rep, some have a bad rep, some have no rep.

Recommended Power supply?

Can someone tell me if the power supply I have is sufficient for my system? I continue to Machine-check-exception Errors while trying to load or install applications or gaming.
I tried reducing RAM speed but no joy
Thanks

Theres a quote that SuperShanks usually shells out (where is SuperShanks?) about A64's and power supplies. AMD themselves say that you need atleast 24a on the +12v rail. Therefore, you should get a new PSU.
I would recommend PC POWER AND COOLING or ENERMAX. The enermax listed in my signature is great. A cheaper but comparable PSU is the enermax 460/465w whisper II.
Anyway, this does not mean your PSU is the cause of your problems, as you could get by with your current PSU. This does not mean you shouldn't replace it, as expandibility and other things come to mind when considering future problems.
I'm not sure what exactly you were asking other than if you want to know whether or not your PSU can hack it, it's unlikely.
As far as the guy with the ROSEWILL is concerned, the PSU looks good as far as wattage and amperage are concerned but ROSEWILL is not a company I'm familiar with. Usually you buy good PSU's because you can trust the capacitor inside of it not to kill your whole entire computer when it fails. So if you're at all worried about your components if you were to have a PSU failure, you may want to consider the PSU i have in my signature.
Just my two cents, guys. I'm only trying to help.

Recommend Power Supply

I'm still collecting parts for my new MSI 865G Neo2-PLS with a P4 2.8C 800MHz.
I've obtained a new case and am considering the Power Supply for the system.
Would the Thermaltake 420W (W0009R) be a good choice?
Or would the Antec SL-400 be a better choice?
I'm seriously considering the Thermaltake... but it's not on Intel's List of Tested Power Supplies for the New Pentium 4 HTs.
I will soon put together a complete list of my system when I have it together with one-beep!
Thanks is advamce.

Try this link to calc your needs:
http://www.adecy.com/psu/
I have the SL400. No complaints, but I haven't worked it hard. Yet.
With the fans in case, and the other components in my signature, the calculator indicates I am marginal powerwise.
I also have an SL400 I will put in my wife's AMD1800+ XP machine, MSI K7N2 DELTA-ILSR, MSI Ti4200vtd8x.
I expect it to be marginal there also. But it now has a 350W "PowerUp" PSU, Motto, "We might be cheap, but we smell HOT...."
It is common routine to see people posting problems dissing the 865, & other boards, when they are really just underpowered. Underpowered systems will give you some really wierd symptoms.
Go bigger, if you can. Enermax 465, or some of the 550W units others have recommended. Good for the long haul and upgrades to other hardware. Or if you want to overclock.
Whatever you do, HAVE FUN WITH IT!

K8N Neo4 Platinum recommended power supply?

What is the minimum power supply I can use on this board? The reason I ask is my PS just went out and I have a 300W laying around, I tried to use the 300W just to test to make sure it was the power supply, and the computer turns on with the 300W but the monitor doesn't come on like it's booting up. Should the monitor come on when it is booting up with the 300W power supply or is it just not getting enough juice? Keep in mind with the 300W I disconnected all non-essentials

300W is way too low for any modern system.
We can't say if a system will start with such a PSU or not.
Too many factors involved.
I have a system here 3800X2 with a 300W PSU, it boots, but as soon as I put some stress on it, the PSU shuts down.
Pure luck it boots at all.
Going to put a 500W PSU in it of a decend brand to stop this shutting down.

FP-1000and FP-AI-110 power supply

Hello there,
I just set up my first FieldPoint unit and have a question concerning the recommended Power Supply:
When I read the FP-1000 QuickStartGuide , page 16, I thougt , there is no other way supplying the FP-AI-110 module but
by another external power supply .
But It seems , that the FP-AI-110 module is supplied by the internal bus, wihtout cascading power by the terminal. (See attached picture, where only the network module is connected to
an external Power supply )
So which way is recommended by NI ? Input Voltages at the analog module are limitede to max 5V.
Greetings
Beethoven

Hi!
I have in my lab FP-DI-301 and FP-DO-401. All works, even if I don't cascade V-C terminals, except the output module don't drive their outputs! I mean, V-C are used from output module to actually feed the output current/voltage. The power/Ready leds lights also with V-C not cascaded because the "logic" part of the modules derive power from backplane. Also the I/O interfacing circuits work, in fact I can see inputs even without V-C connected. This holds when the whole system has the same power supply.
Taking a look at FP-AI-110 manual, "Voltage and current inputs are referenced to the COM terminals, which are internally connected to each other and to the C terminals. All eight VSUP terminals are internally connected to each other and to the V terminals." and "The [c]FP-AI-110 has eight single-ended input channels. All eight channels share a common ground reference that is isolated from other modules in the FieldPoint system.". So, I guess, you may refer your inputs to another system, with separated commons. That's why you are told to connect V-C.

Problem with NEW H520 when installed new power supply & graphic card. Please help!

My H520 was working perfectly and was running FAST..especially when rebooting. ( It was AWESOME! )Then I installed a new power supply (Coolmax 400w) and a new graphic card (Sapphire Radeon HD6450) and then everything changed. Now my computer is booting very SLOWLY and all the programs are taking a long time to load too. I was getting a black screen for almost a full 2 minutes before the windows 8.0 screen would finally load up and then it hangs there for a few seconds and finally goes to the start screen in windows. But BEFORE I installed this new hardware, when I would reboot, I would see the Lenovo splash screen come up for a few short seconds and then it instantly went to the windows welcome screen. And even then I would barely have enough time to see the welcome screen before it instantly loaded into the windows start screen. Everything would load up fast on the desktop too and we'd be good to go. It all took about 30 SECONDS.
But now? It takes MINUTES to get everything going. After it FINALLY loads up (it takes almost 2 full minutes now!), everything hangs up. When you first click on the desktop, it takes a few seconds for all of the icons to pop up. Before I loaded the new hardware, everything loaded up instantly. I didn't even see the icons load because they were already there. But now I have to wait for them to load up before I can even see them. And it's like that with every program and web browser I try to use now. Everything hangs up at first and then finally loads. The programs work but they are sluggish.
So I uninstalled the new power supply and put back in the original 280w power supply and I took out the graphic card but it did no change. The machine is STILL running slow on everything it does and booting very slowly.
I have seen this problem mentioned elsewhere about Lenovo computers but there is never a solution. Please help! It took me a long time to save up for this computer and I have been babying it ever since. I will never be able to afford a new one or pay for tech repair. I need to fix this! I was so thrilled with this computer before the hardware upgrade. This is devastating to me that it is working so poorly now when all I was trying to do was upgrade it a little bit.    Now it's performing horribly and it's only 6 months old.
I ran a four hour test on the hard drive and it is fine. I ran all the system clean ups, optimizations, registry cleanups, windows disk cleaner, defragger and virus scans. Nothing is showing up as not working but there is CLEARLY a problem. It was never this slow.   And why is it STILL acting this slow even after I uninstalled all of the new hardware that made it start acting this way and went back to the original setup?
I'm trying to run a memory test on it now but the BIOS will NOT allow me to select another drive to boot from so I can't boot from the flash drive or CD drive to run the memory test. I have NO IDEA what to do next and I am starting to pull my hair out in frustration.
Please, is there anything that can be done to make it better again?
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jennifer

I totally give up!! I restored everything to the ORIGINAL state with drivers AND hardware and STILL everything is not working properly like it was BEFORE the upgrade.
So this has been the WORST experience with Tech support EVER!! I have spent DAYS on the phone for HOURS with these technicians and nobody seems to know what they are doing. They put me on hold every 10 minutes and are gone for 10 to 15 minutes and when they come back, they seem all set on a new solution but when you ask them questions about it, they have NO CLUE how to answer and then they put you on hold again. Nothing gets solved and after HOURS on the phone, I just tell them to stop because we are getting no where but running around in circles that make no sense. THIS A NIGHTMARE!!
So I totally gave up on being able to upgrade this machine. To any future buyers, I STRONGLY recommend you do all upgrading BEFORE you get it home for the first time. Make sure you have your power supply and graphic card INCLUDED before you bring it home or you're mostly likely going to have a NIGHTMARE upgrading it later.    Technical support is a HORROR STORY and expect to be WAITING for LOOOOONNNNG periods of time both ON THE PHONE and ONLINE and probably ending up with NO SOLUTION in the end.
I've VERY upset with how this turned out!! I'm just gonna have to deal with the fact that my computer is permenantly messed up and NOBODY AT LENOVO knows how to fix it. So I'm stuck.
I decided to send back the new power supply and the new graphic card because of this nightmare with tech support. I put everything back to the way it was when I bought the computer and it is STILL acting up!! I just want to revert it back to factory settings .. INCLUDING THE BIOS... but Lenovo said I have to send the WHOLE computer back to them to do that. All I can do from home is restore from a point in the hard drive and that's not enough. I need a TOTAL CLEAN INSTALL. Everything needs to be wiped out and reset, not just restored to a previous restore point. I've done this multiple times and all it does is erase all the programs and stuff I put on the computer. The drivers and other codes are still the same. And then bugs come up and things get all wonky. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I TRIED TO UPGRADE IT!!
I am NOT comfortable with Lenovo's "solution". I do NOT want to send my computer back to them for them to reset it with factory disks ESPECIALLY when they stated that they are NOT responsible for any damage in transport or otherwise. I have to buy extra packaging to make sure it gets there safely. They told me to use the original box and packaging, that is the only way they can be sure it will get there safe. Who has the original stuffing SIX MONTHS LATER?!?! I don't want to be sending my computer across the country to get jostled all over the place and have that add to the slowness of the hardware because it was jostled.
Can't I reset it from home? Can they not send ME the disks instead of me sending my whole computer to them?
I'm so incredibly frustrated with this. I hope somebody answers quickly and that I don't have to wait DAYS to get a response again.
I absolutely LOVED my Lenovo computer! And then I tried to upgrade it. BIG MISTAKE!! Now everything is totally messed up and Lenovo's customer support for technical problems is HORRID!!
Somebody please help. This is driving me crazy with frustration and totally breaking my heart. It took me a VERY long time to save up for this computer and it was my most loved possession. It was a reward for a lot of hard times and now it's all broken and acting slow. And it's only 6 months old.
Is there a solution to this very frustrating problem?
I just want it to go back to the way it was before.
And is there a very low cost KNOWN TO WORK WITH THIS MACHINE upgraded graphic card and power supply? Is there a very specific brand and make? If so, could you let me know what it is in case I try to upgrade it again someday?
Thank you for your time and for reading this!
Please have a FANTASTIC day today!!

Graphics card and power supply, can someone please help me?

Hello everyone so i bought the new game Dragon Age: Inquistion for my pc and the computer is only about 2 months old but the game is running slow so my graphics card isn't powerful enough and I can't figure out which graphic's card or power supply to get that will be compatible with my computer. From what i see i'm going to need both.

Hi,
I ran a simulator for the Dragon Age: Inquisition and the processor and memory in your HP 500-223w meet or exceed the recommended requirements. However, the video in your PC doesn't meet the recommended level even at 1024 by 768 resolution. The NVIDIA 750 would also not meet the recommended requirements even at 1024 by 768 resolution.
The power supply will need to be replaced to support a graphics card that will meet the recommended requirements.
The Corsair CX600 would be an excellent choice as it matches up the existing HP power supply dimensions. $65
The AMD R9 270 would exceed the recommeded requirements for Dragon Age: Inquisition. These are on sale from $100 and up. Do some measuring inside yiour PC. This Sapphire R9 270 model would be a good choice at $130 afer rebate

Looking for a new quiet power supply, what do you recommend?

the current power supply rip was an antec 480 truepower. It was ok but I'm looking for an ultra quiet supply, hope to here your recommendations. TIA.

Jason, I think he would have some trouble getting them shipped to Australia from one of those stores. Beside that it would be less from newegg, look at the additional 20% off promo and free shipping. For me it's 3 days from order to delivery from ZZf and newegg.
Yes, one of the Corsairs but not HX but as mentioned TX or VX, also PC P&C 610. Ignore watts, go by +12V amps and as FP mentioned consider future need for more power when choosing. Nowdays the VX450W (+12V~33A) would be considered minimum to get and also would be considered weak for many current systems.

Power supply question, please help!!!

I think I need a new power supply, but I want to make sure I get a good one. I'm currently running a no name 400w that came with the case and I'm having a problem with the computer rebooting while running 3D Apps, such as games. I have been having this problem for a while now and have been replaceing/upgrading parts (motherboard, video card, & RAM) as I have the money, but it always does it. The only thing I can think of is the power supply, so I want to buy a new one. I can get a Thermaltake Purepower 420w for a good price but i want to make sure it power my system.
The Thermaltake PSU specs are:
+5V = 40A
+3.3V = 30A
+5V & 3.3V Max = 220W
+12V = 18A
+5VSB = 2A
My current system specs are:

Would this be good?
Sounds pretty good... The main consideration is the amps developed on the 12v rail, anything over 18a is cool. This PSU develops 26a so no probs.
One thing though, don't try running a large amount of internal peripherals (Hard drives, cd rom drives, dvd drives etc.). If you do you will need more watts
Good luck
Sorry My Bad. Gomerpile is right, for that AGP card you will need 430 watts minimum, I had similar probs trying to run my 9700 pro with a dodgy PSU

Thermotec Power supply Recommended?

I have been advised by other members to change my 300 Q Tec power supply before the MoBo packs up. I have found a Thermotec 420W supply for $100 on the local market. (Stuff is expensive here). Has anyone ever heard of Thermotec and can anyone recomend them as being compatible with this P4 motherboard. Also with my setup I think 420W might still be low.
I would appreciate some advice please.
Regards Chris

Hi Chris,
How done a search........ no info on this brand, not even any selling on Ebay!!!!
Also had a look for component shops in Cyprus..........guess what???? All info about holidays etc......
You could try contacting a BRAND name PSU direct and explain.....that you not able to find a supplier in Cyprus, please could they advise on where to buy in Cyprus......... (Antec, Enermax or Hiper...... I have tested these are good quality and spex..... I don't advise, if I have not tried.)
Sorry I can not be of more help too you...

Power Supply recommendation?

I have noticed from reading some of these posts that 12 volt rail amperage is important to the stability of this board. Even though my system now seems to be stable (after cranking up mem voltage to 2.75), my rated 12 volt amperage is only 18 amps.
What PS do you recommend for my system? Thank you!

I sure wish I had a 520W OCZ Powerstream!

In the course of testing for this review, we also stumbled upon another mild surprise. We had been using a major brand 465 watt Power Supply in one of the A64 test beds with the FX53 and an nVidia 6800 Ultra video card. We were experiencing serious problems with video corruption and we were also seeing lower overclocks on memory in the 465 watt machine. We switched to the 520 watt OCZ PowerStream power supply in the problem test bed and found that video corruption disappeared and memory overclocks reached higher levels. Out of curiosity, we switched to the ATI 9800 PRO in the same test bed. We did not experience video corruption with the ATI and the 465W power supply, but memory overclocks were still lower with the 465 than what we could achieve with the PowerStream 520W.
Based on our experience, we would recommend a quality 500 watt+ power supply if you plan to seriously overclock memory on the Socket 939 platform. The difference in performance is substantial, with higher overclocks possible with the larger quality power supply. For that reason, we have updated the specifications of our A64 memory test bed to the 520W OCZ PowerStream.

Just bought Apple TV in Atlanta Georgia, did not ask if I won't have an issue plugging it to 220 Volts Power Supply. Can any body advise please .

Dear all,
I just bought an Apple TV in Atlanta, Georgia, I could not know if it can be plugged to a 220 Volts Power Supply in my Home Country. Please advise
Cheers

You can read the AppleTV's specifications here, but every current production Apple product incorporates switching power supplies designed for use with any utility power. They are designed to international standards and are not limited to the US or anywhere else.
You can use any power cord that fits. The AppleTV uses a commonly available "figure 8" (IEC 60320) connector.

Thanking you
Contact +919421472324

ok, i've calmed down now and i think everythings sorted. all my files are still there and all applications, the ?'s just needed clicking on in the dock. i found it strange and wondered why my background changed. it's not a big deal, i just changed it straight back, but it made me think if that changed to default what other settings have changed to default? i've only had my mac a week or so, so i can't remember changing anything drastic, so this shouldn't really be a problem.
thanks alot for all the help, i'll know where to come next time i have any trouble. i love knowing that mac's have a good community of people willing to help each other out.

Please recommend power supply
