| 748416 | 2009-02-17 23:20:00 | The next thing is will my current 300w power supply be adequate. I run a 1gig fanless video card and don't do any gaming. I watch videos though. Is there a spec or is it just what works without problems? | Tbird650 (6754) | ||

| 748419 | 2009-02-18 01:37:00 | Hi, I just checked and it's a half gig card, a Asus en8600GT 512mb ddr3. I have a 400w power supply in an older case here. Would that be a possible fit? It's an olympic ATX 400, edition for P4. It looks as though it's been a recent replacement. What's there to know about swapping PSU? I can think of the sata hdd power socket may be different.... but isnt that sortable with an adaptor? |

| 748421 | 2009-02-18 02:03:00 | I just did a check of system spec here with this calculator: www.extreme.outervision.com It recommends 516w PSU .......(and 478w without video card). This appears high when you consider this TM auction is for phenom9750 based tower with a 400w PSU only. What am I missing? www.trademe.co.nz |

| 748423 | 2009-02-18 08:48:00 | I spoke to the PC shop today. They recommend I run with a mobo that has nvidia chipset drivers, to be more compatible with my EN8600GT nvidia card. How true is that? Is it a pain trying to mix and match different makers? The board I was considering has AMD 780G/SB700 chipset. |

| 748424 | 2009-02-19 09:46:00 | Well, I've kept at the study and I like the look of this tasty looking board: www.asus.com M3N78-VM, supports AM3, HyperTransport 3.0, GeForce™ 8200, Express Gate, Native DDR2 1066 ...drop on a cpu: products.amd.com ...& a 500w PSU something like this raidmax: www.cbcnz.com How's it sound/look? A question: I see quite often a board with have a rev#. Is this something to watch out for?? |

Is it a pain trying to mix and match different makers? The board I was considering has AMD 780G/SB700 chipset. not very true with good components, consider that the chipset would then be made by a different manufacturer than the cpu. I have found though that the system that has proven to be the most rock solid of all my builds has been intel chipset, intel cpu ( if quite a bit less flexible ). Go with the board you want - the Video card will work. |
