oh hey -- wanna chime in here -- because I bought this Aspire 500 watt with see through top and led fans... for like $52 @ Newegg... it's really great... it runs -- (to be sung to the end of the 12 days of christmas .. lol j/k) 7 led case fans 5 hard drives 4 led lighted molex ends 2 DVD drives (one writer, one reader) and of course, my 6800GT! the 12 volt rail stays @ 12.06 5 volt stays at 5.08 3.3 volt stays at 3.36 Soooo.... you don't _have_ spend 100+ dollars on a PSU to power a lot of stuff in your rig... those expenseive PSUs are nice, but if you are on a budget, which most of us are, you can still get really good stuff! I highly recomment this PSU for price and performance.. and looks. all the power connectors came wapped in sleeving, it's really nice. I was impressed. They have these at FRy's electronics for about the same price as I bought mine...
Ive got this crappy generic 450 watt power suppy. (Don't hurt me... im thinking about replacing it). Hmmm whats that smelll... oh crap this piece of crap is getting too hot agin... ok i definately will replace it soon. i guess ill hold off the heavy gamming untill then. about that aspire power supply... is that one quiet?
Yes, very quiet, and it's got a fan speed adjuster knob... I keep at high all the time and don't hear a thing... my old Emermax 430 was louder than this one...
yes - very nice for keeping your case clean, but in my case I need all of the connectors, so it doesn't make a difference... but I was looking at that one... very good product!
PC Power & Cooling 510 Deluxe. Awesome PSU. The best money can buy. Although it is nearly double the price of every other one. You'd expect it to be
Well, I got this new TT and im having problems TT Butterfly 480W PSU I got a floppy drive, DVD Rom and a Burner, I got a Ultra(2 molex connectors), 5 80mm case fans and a LCd display. Im also OC my CPU to 3.0 My +5 rail is reading at 4.27 According to Sandra2005 my 12 rail is at 11.70 What should I do? Should I get rid of this PSU
make sure that you don't have all of your devices plugged into just one of your 12 volt lead strings... so you use both of them, and spread your components equally on them.
