Thanks in advance

 See Bernhards reply #1 above regarding Corsair PSU. If you want or might need more power for future if needed then TX650 or TX750 would also be good choices. I have a TX450 that has been used on all of my systems at one time or another for several years and if you are lucky enough to find one of those it would also be a very good choice but that is a discontinued item and hard to find now. Antec has some good ones and some that are garbage and I would avoid them as you never know what kind of quality you end up with.
 All MB are build to standard specs as far as hardware compatibility (PCIe/PCI slot spacing etc.) so there should be no problem there. Limitation can be in the size of the case front to back where the length of the card could be a problem but not the MB itself.
Intel G31PR, are you sure it's not a DG31PR? If so there's nothing on tha MB that would interfere with using the 560 GTX judging from the picture I looked at.

    the other question please, whats ur opinions about this card? is it ok with powerfull games?
    GTX 550 and GTX 650 are budget (mid-range) GPUs.
    They are good for everything (including 3D games).
    However, in complex 3D games don't expect high FPS values.
    If you play games most of the time, you should go for GTX 560 / GTX 660.

  • Specific Power Requirements For iPods?

    +(Yes I searched, no I didn't find this information.)+
    I am looking for specific power requirements for multiple iPod models; 1st-Generation iPod touch, 5th-Generation 80GB Video, 3rd & 4th-Generation iPod nano, and 2nd-Generation Shuffle, to be precise.
    I am not looking for the obvious information found on the Apple site, such as charge times and USB vs. FireWire. I need more accurate data such as exact mAh and wattage input requirements for each iPod. I know I have chargers that will satisfy the needs of the nanos and 80GB but leave the 1st-Gen touch wanting and waiting for more. At the same time, I do not wish to overload the smaller iPod models like the shuffle.
    I have searched Apple.com and the Apple forums as well as Google, but I cannot find this information anywhere.
    Please help! I am trying to find suitable alternate power supplies such as solar, crank, and AA/AAA-battery backup sources and I want one that will work with all of my current iPods and hopefully future iPod purchases as well (to include many current iPods). Thank you!

    I don't have the info you need on the iPods.
    But I have an AC charger bought originally to use with another brand of mp3 player. After I got my iPod, I didn't see the point in buying another AC charger if it would work with iPod, since the company (Griffintechnology) also makes some for iPods. (Of course, I would have to switch out the USB cable to the one that works with iPod, but that's easy enough.) I couldn't find the info on their web site or on Apple's, so I emailed Griffin, and they told me it was safe to use with the iPod. So far, so good.
    So I would suggest emailing the maker of the chargers you already own, to check on compatibility. I know Griffin makes them, as does DLO. As far as AA/AAA rechargers, we recently got one from www.adrenalinetechnologies.com (haven't yet used it, though) that's supposed to work with multiple iPod models, and they have multiple adapters and such for different things.

  • Power Requirements for Micro ATX Boards

    hey all,
    Are the power requirements for micro ATX boards the same as for ATX boards?
    I see micro ATX power supply rated at 250, 230, even 180 Watts and i'm wondering if that can keep a system stable.

    To my knowledge of Micro ATX PCB mobos + CPU and RAMs does not really tales up to the power requirements of an ATX PCB mobo + CPU and RAMs, so I think that 300watts will be a good bet.
    Power AMPs for individual rails as per:
    +3.3v = 20A approx.
    +5v = 28A approx.
    +12v = 16A approx.

    I flashed mine with the wrong BIOS and realised to late that the BIOS backup did not actually work. This is the 270 and not the 270x. Any help would be appreciated.

    There seems to be none so far: >>How to contact MSI.<<
    I removed the other line. Better don't mention the payment method again. Also such reward is not needed. Either there's such file from MSI or not.

  • Drivers for MSI Radeon R7 260 1GB

    I just bought this the MSI Radeon R7 260 1GB graphics card.
    1. I tried to install drivers from the MSI CD, but nothing happened. So I checked the contents of the CD, only drivers for Win 7 and 8 are supplied! (what happened to VISTA and XP users??)
    2. I tried to get drivers / catalyst controller from the MSI web site, but there are no drivers. (The only thing on offer is a firmware update utility)
    3. I then tried to get drivers from AMD web site, they had drivers for XP 32bit. Whilst this installed the Catalyst Controller, on reboot, it only show a black screen. I had to do a shutdown (via power button). I had to reboot in 'last known known good setting', but then there was a message about no AMD drivers installed. I can't open up Catalyst Controller.  I am only getting basic generic drivers and the window display is terrible.
    4. I then went back to MSI web site,  I tried to install Radeon R7 260X drivers / apps. But that did not work either.
    (My previous card was a XFX Radeon R7 240).
    Can MSI tell me how to fix this? Or is there no support for Windows XP? Should I return the graphics card?

    hello there, have you returned the card yet? if you still need help, would you please provide which model of R7 260 you are using?

  • Power Requirements for MacBook Pro 13 inch

    Are there lower power requirments for the 13 inch MBP from the 15 and 17 inch?
    I understand that the 15 and 17 require 85 watts of power output, but when I was shopping for a power inverter, they mention a 60 watt would work for the 13 inch MBP.
    Mostly curious. Most of the power inverters I am looking at offer more than enough output (100 watts+).
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, the smaller models use smaller batteries that do not require as high a charging power or power to run with no battery present.
    If you were to use an inverter to convert DC to AC then it's a good idea to get one with a power capability about twice what will be connected to it in order to allow for surges.

  • Power Requirement for AP 1500

    Hi Sir,
    I found the following from Mesh 1500 datasheet for its power requirement,
    95?260 VAC, 47?63 Hz
    Power over Ethernet: 48 VDC, +/?10 percent
    However, my contractor requested me to give him in Watt as UPS is provided to it. Can anyone show me the formula to do so?
    Thank you.
    Delon

    The basic rule of physics that "watts = volts x amps" is based on direct current (DC) circuits. AC is more efficient but when it hits the transformers, it suffers from reactance.
    Reactance reduces the useful power (watts) available from the apparent power (volt-amperes). Power Factor (PF) is the ratio of these two numbers. Therefore, the actual power formula for AC circuits is "watts = volts x amps x power factor." Unfortunately, the PF is rarely stated but generally is a number of 1.0 or less, and about the only thing with a 1.0 PF is a light bulb.
    Figure out total loading of product Amps (A) Watts (W).
    Multiply voltage by amps (V x A).
    VA x 135%= the size of the UPS you would need.
    * Estimated Average Growing Space 135%
    (Amps)
    A. Ex: 1 PC= 2A 1 Monitor=1.5A, Total= 3.5A
    3.5A x 120V= 420VA x 130%= 546VA.
    B. Ex: 1 DVR = 300 Watts, 5 CCTV = 350 Watts, Total = 650 Watts
    W = P.F. x VA, Direct UPS JP X series P.F = 0.7 & VP series = 0.6
    650 W = 0.7 x VA , VA =650w/0.7, Total Loading = 929VA
    Right size UPS: 929 VA x 135% = 1254VA.
    The recommended size UPS for example a. is 600VA
    The recommended size UPS for example b. is 1400VA

  • Power supply for MSI 645 Ultra mother board

    I need to replace the power supply for a MSI 645 Ultra mother board. I've available a switching power supply Allied model DR-B500E, that doesn't have the -5V output (infact its 20 pin ATX power supply connector has no wire in pin 18).
    Can I use this power supply with the MSI 645 Ultra?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi, here I am. Sorry for delay but I had some problems with the PC (as NTLDR missing).
    However now is ok and I can confirm that it runs ok also with power supply without -5V output.
    Thanks a lot for the support and best wishes for Christmas and new year.

  • Power Requirements for the V490

    We are ready to install a V490 and I can't find the appropriate information regarding the electrcal requirements for the V490. All I get is the standard "AC Power --- 200 - 240 VAC, 47 - 63 Hz, 2078 VA". With 2 power supplies, the AC requirements do not list as per power supply or per system. Does anyone know the requirements for each power supply? The electricians won't start till they get confirmation on the requirements.
    Thanks

    ThanksEach power supply is capable of powering the entire server, so each will need the full input if the other supply fails.

  • Power requirements for surge protector?

    I want to get a surge protector that will support the power requirements of a Macpro and a 30-inch cinema display. I would also like it for an Airport Extreme and an external FW drive, though those are not as important for being on the same outlet, they can be on a different one if necessary. What should I look for in terms of power ratings, etc.
    Thanks!

    Stanwelks,
    I sit near a forest of cables and had that problem. The instruction books on the Display and the Macpro have information enabling you to work out the Amperage they use. One can derive amperage from a stated wattage knowing your voltage. I know mine I don't know yours. Here in UK most residential wall sockets take up to 13 Amps. Most plug blocks say they are good for 13 Amps. So in the train it is the smallest capacity of link, socket or plug block , that matters.
    I had to put some devices (the display and MacPro were the worst 'offenders', on a separate wall socket linked to my 'lair' by a long cable. There was slight leeway to the 13Amps so a printer (seemingly of low amperage) is added.
    The other things you mention are small amperage but check. It is a good idea to work out the amperage of each device you have if you can.

  • Power requirements for a 1042 mesh network

    this note is from the 5508 controller config manual, does this apply to 1040 access points in a mesh network?
    Note:The recommended power source for MAPs is either a power supply or power injector. PoE is not a recommended power source for MAPs.

    No, that would be about the 15xx series of MESH AP.

  • Power Supply for MSI HD 7850 OC 2048MB

    Hi
    I have bought the above card and a Antec Neo Eco 520 power supply. The PSU has a single 8 pin (6+2) PCI-E connector. I looked at a pic of the graphics card and there appears to be a single 6 pin PCI-E connector. I however read on a forum that this card requires a 8 pin and a 6 pin PCI-E supply. So can I use the 6 pin of the 6+2 connector to power the board and if not what do I do.
    thanks in advance
    Gordon

    I have a R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC and it has 1 PCI-E 6 pin power connector! just plug the 6 pin part of the 6+2 pin into the header and leave the 2 pins out........
    I think you where reading it for the wrong card as the one in that type of range with a 6+8pin connection set is a R7950 on a R7970 board!
    here is a list for you:
    MSI R7850 TF 2GD5/OC - 1x 6pin
    MSI R7870 TF 2GD5/OC - 2x 6pin
    MSI R7950 TF 3GD5/OC (Reference board) - 2x 6pin
    MSI R7950 TF 3GD5/OC (7970 board) - 1x 6pin + 1x 8pin <--- I think that is what you where reading a discussion about
    MSI R7970 TF 3GD5/OC - 1x 6pin + 1x 8pin
    all MSI cards that require PCI-E power connectors come with power adapters in the box that can convert a pair of molex connectors to a 6pin (if it needs a 8 pin to they have a 6pin to 8pin adapter) that can be used so do not worry yourself!
    Radeon HD 7850 - 21A and a 500W psu minimum just so you have a guideline!

  • So, is a -5V pin supply still required for MSI K8N SLI Platinum or not ???

    I am looking to buy a new custom made computer. I want the MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboard for it. The problem is that the non-USA page claims that it requires the -5V pin supply. I have read many threads on this same topic, but havent found a definitve answer.
    Is the -5V rail still needed or not ???
    I read somewhere that USA models dont require it, as its not mentioned on the USA site. Well my one will most probably be from Taiwan.....
    Is there a check, through which I can confirm whether the motherboard my local hardware store is selling, requires a -5V pin supply or not???
    lastly, is that a specific model number, from which onwards, the requirement is no longer needed ????
    thanx in advance

    I agree with SAB only because mine has been rock solid for quite some time.  If I could afford it, I would have purchased SAB's PC Power & Cooling 510 model.
    The only other model that seems to have the -5v rail are the OCZ psu.  However, I have noticed a lot of users with tagan's and have yet to see someone complain about this psu.  Im running the 12v rail as a single rail at 30a...you can experiment with the dual rails and it will adjust to the need of your mobo up to 20a on each rail but then the other rail gets only 10a (at least I think thats how it works).
    The tagan 480w u22 was built for the future:
    1.  has a 20/24 pin main power connector - shielded
    2.  a 4/8 pin cpu power connector - shielded
    3.  2 - 6pin vga connectors - shielded
    4.  4 - sata hdd connectors
    5.  Whisper quiet - you just dont hear it
    6.  12v rail at 30a - peak load at startup to 35a for 60 seconds
    7.  70% to 73% efficiency rating
    Is it enough juice?  It seems to me that the manufacturers have realized that pretty soon we will have to purchase $500 psu's just to keep up.  So IMO, the manufacturers seem to be getting the point.  The new 90nm AMD chips take less power than the 130nm chips...and the new 7800gt video cards take up less power than the 6800gt video cards.  In the future, AMD will be coming out with a 65nm chip, which will need even less power.
    So I think Im right at the sweet spot with the 12v@30a and its also flexible enough to switch to a dual rail system if I need that feature in the future.  Tagan does make a 530w and 580w psu too, but they are not as quiet and you only get 2 more amps on the 12v rail as you go up the line.  Just my 2 cents.   

  • Replacement power cable for ATI Radeon 5770?

    I'm shopping around for a replacement graphics card for my Mac Pro and I've found several Radeon 5770s that don't have the PCIe power cable included.
    Does anyone know what sort of cable they use and if replacements can be purchased?

    yes it can be purchased but first, you are shopping for an Apple version, right?

    OWC shows the cable, they also sell separately (maybe why they charge more?)
    Amazon had customer photos but not showing one.
    I was under the impression that Apple would/was including the cable.
