Think this PSU is enuff?

I just ordered this PSU since my computer started doing strange stuff after I got a Geforce 4 card. It was doing random restarts, the mouse was freezing once in a while, my Lan card started working once, etc. I unhooked a hard drive and Cd player and all my fans and I seem ok till I get the PSU. You guys think this is a good power supply?

Exactly. I'm still using a 4 year old antec 300w psu (+3.3 14A, +5 30A, +12 8A) that is only 150w combined on 3.3/5. It's running a tbred XP1700@1791, Ultra2, 256MB samsung pc2700 at 170-aggressive, MSI ti4200 TD64@315/675, two 7200rpm harddrives (WD1600JB & Maxtor 54098U8), msi 48x16x48/ricoh 6x4x24 burners, 2 network cards, 4-80mm fans, and 1-60mm fan...along with the externals...2 game controllers(1 is usb), a steering wheel, joystick, wired optical mouse, natural keyboard, and a receiver to a wireless keyboard/mouse.
There has never been a single problem with it, and the psu never gets warm. Voltages are core:1.58-1.61(set to 1.6), 4.91-5.05, 11.96-12.04, and a steady 3.30. People make such a big deal out of wattage numbers. 420w "should" only be required if you plan on running like a bunch of extremely high power fans, a bunch of cold cathodes, 4 harddrives, etc... This system was unaffected when I was copying files over to a third harddrive.
Yes, that psu should be fine

    What u guys think of Coolmax or Rosewill with about 30 Amps on the 12v... or just other less reputable names than OCZs n Fortrons...
    Any advice on these ones:
    Rosewill 550W Black Mirror Power Supply with 1 x 120mm UV Blue LED Fan, for $58
    COOLMAX 500W Taurus CX Series Silent Power Supply, 1 x 120mm fan, 3 Speed Fan Control Switch for $57
    I heard Rosewill is just a packager of CoolMax PSUs... Any1 had experience with COolmax and these MSI boards?
    IF you need to keep an eye on the doe I would say fortron tried and true. They tend to under estamte the power of thier suppies and have been of high quality for a long time.

  • IS this PSU............

    Hi everyone
    I have recently purchased an MSI neo4 platinum SLI mobo with 3200+venice and OCZ rev2 platinum 2x512 DDR400 RAM with the sole purpose of getting a high OC with stock cooling.
    I purchased this PSU along with this setup: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=876412&CatId=1079
    this is a 500w PSU with 34A on the 12v rail, i have read many reviews that showed the PSU to be very good, the only probelm is that it has a 20pin ATX connector.
    So do u think the mobo will have any problems running with a 20pin instead of 24pin connector? would using an adapter make a difference?
    I havent recieved the parts yet, but i am getting worried that the 20pins would affect the OCing.
    thx

    If I were writing this review on sheer good looks the Ultra X-Connect would be a perfect 10, but we do have to factor in a few more things to add a bit of legitimacy to the whole thing.  So let's start with the power supplies power capabilities, looking at one rail is all that is necessary and that is +12 @ 34A. This is enough horse power to operate any of the modern boards along with a top of the line video card and a few little extra tossed in for fun.
    Now there is the stability factor, running two program for 30-minutes that both demanded 100% CPU utilization and the biggest swing in voltages was 0.17 volts. That is enough to convince me.
    If there is one small area I would like to see addressed that is the inclusion of either 24-pin cable or including the 20-in to 24-pin jumper and not forcing the customer to purchase one since this can make for some very bad PR when someone comes home and finds out their new computer won't work without the proper cabling.
    Otherwise...for that price...give it a go!!!

  • Mid 2010 MacBook pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but display is sooo dark - like no backlight.  I think this is an LED screen.  Does anyone know the fix for this?

    Hi all...  My mid 2010 MacBook Pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but the display is very very dark.  A faint image can only be seen at an angle in very bright light.  I think this model has an LED screen.  Can anyone please tell me what the fix for this is?  Thank you sooooo much!

    Spill Cleaning
    Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
    Do
    Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
    Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
    Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
    Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
    Note what was spilled on your Mac.
    Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
    Don't
    Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
    Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
    Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).

  • My Airport Time Capsule only works when I turn off and turn on, but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve?

    Time Capsule Airport
    Hello to all, good day, sorry my english google, but it is the tool I have at the moment. I'm having trouble with my Time Capsule Airport, I made all the settings according to the manual, but there has been a connection problem with my iMac. When I finish my work I turn off the imac and then again when they return to work and care, it can not connect to Time Capsule Airport, making it impossible to remove the files and make back up by Time Machine only works when I turn off and turn on the Airport Time Capsule , but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve? Thank you.
    Olá a todos, bom dia, desculpe meu inglês google, mas é a ferramenta que tenho no momento. Estou tendo dificuldades com a minha Airport Time Capsule, fiz todas as configurações de acordo com o manual, mas tem existido um problema de conexão com meu iMac. Quando termino meus trabalhos desligo o imac e depois quando retorno pra trabalhar novamente e ligo, ele não se conecta a Airport Time Capsule, impossibilitando retirar os arquivos e fazer o back-up pelo Time Machine, só funciona quando desligo e ligo a Airport Time Capsule, mas acho que isso pode acabar com o aparelho. O que pode esta acontecendo e como resolver? Obrigado.

    This is easier to do with pictures perhaps.. since we do not share a common language and machine translation leaves a lot to be desired.
    In the airport utility bring up your Time Capsule.
    Simply post the screenshots here.
    So here is mine.
    Click on the Edit button and give us the Internet and Wireless and Network tab..
    eg.
    Please also make sure you are set to ipv6 in your wireless or ethernet .. whichever is used.. and do tell which.
    This is wifi in your computer.
    The following are important..
    DO not use long names with spaces and non-alphanumeric names.
    Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    eg TC name. TCgen5
    Wireless name TCwifi
    Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
    read apple instructions to help with TM and TC.. they did finally admit it has issues in Mavericks.
    OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
    Mount the TC manually in finder.
    AFP://TCgen5.local
    When asked for the password .. that is the disk access password and save it in the keychain.
    Reset Time Machine

    I would like to add to the Safari toolbar on my ipad 5 IOS 6  machine. I have searched the web and find some instructions to do this but the words and pictures do not match what I can see. I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5 but perhaps for a Mac computer running Safari. Does anyone know if it is possible to add tools to the toolbar on the latest version of iPad OS & Safari Browser? If so please tell me how. Thanks

    You cannot customize the Safari toolbar on the iPad.
    What you can do on the iPad is go to Settings>Safari>Always show Bookmarks Bar>On and that will add a bookmarks bar on to the Safari browser.

    ... AFAIC Location Services is a joke.
    With both devices sitting side by side on my kitchen table, Location Services has NEVER shown the devices to be any where close to each other, and at times Location Services has been as much as a 1/4 of a mile off between the two devices.
    Your iPod Touch has no GPS receiver so determining its location relies upon wireless routers whose location is known. Its "location" is actually that of a wireless router. Your iPhone 4 can use GPS, cellular triangulation, and Wi-Fi. One would think GPS would be most accurate but urban areas have a greater density of cells and GPS signals are easily obstructed so cellular triangulation is often more accurate.
    Therefore the two devices' locations can be expected to be different. Differences of a quarter mile are easily explained if you understand how location services works: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1975
    Skyhook Wireless (I think Apple uses its own database now): http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/
    Location Services is not a "joke"; its intended use is for basic navigation and for such applications as determining where the nearest restaurant is. It cannot tell you that your iPod is under the couch cushions and that your iPhone is in the car.

    That is only present if you have already updated to iOS 5 or later.  If you're on iOS 4 you can only update while connected to your computer's iTunes.

  • TS1559 Wi-Fi on my iphone4s is grayed out and I think this happened after the update 7.0.4. I went to apple store and they turned me down that there is no support in the 2nd year. Extremely disappointed and no way except to pay and get replacement. Pls ad

    Wi-Fi on my iphone4s is grayed out and I think this happened after the update 7.0.4. I tried all possible solutions through apple online support and then went to apple store as a last resort and they turned me down that there is no support in the 2nd year. Only option is to pay 160 pounds and get replacement. When I argued further, they said that if I had bought the iphone directly with them, they would replace me without any cost. This is even more frustrating.
    THIS IS TOTALLY UNFAIR as its not my fault. If the release of faulty 7.0.4 software is timed in my 2nd year of contract and since I didnt buy the iphone directly from Apple, how is it fair to ask me to pay for replacement. Its not my fault after all.

    Because you are outside the one year hard ware warrenty, Apple covers for the first year on their dime, if you had a two year contract why not make sure you have a two year insurance on your phone?
    Either way as I can see/assume you are from europe you can look at your consumer laws to see if you qualify for anything there, beyond that it isn't the software that broke the device, it's a hardware failure because thousands upon thousands are happy and content with iOS 7.0.4
