| 580770 | 2007-08-14 09:31:00 | Just get the Thermaltake 430w unit from DSE (www.dse.co.nz). It'll be more than adequate for your present needs and your upgrade. | Greg (193) | ||
| 580771 | 2007-08-14 09:37:00 | Greg, a slight diversion, is that likely to be the Thermaltake PSU residing in the Soprano VB cases. Pctek, Poos I tell ya, Poos. :rolleyes: |

| 580772 | 2007-08-14 10:20:00 | Is 8000RPM normal? It is not uncommon for Speedfan to misreport the fan speeds... mine doesn't even detect them... yet I am not worried... PC hasn't crashed due to overheating :rolleyes: EDIT: I have a fan here (chipset) that will do 8000rpm... anyone need the sound of a plane taking off but can't afford the real thing? |

| 580773 | 2007-08-14 11:46:00 | Oh, did I mention that Enermax were Poos? On what grounds??? |

| 580774 | 2007-08-14 12:11:00 | On what grounds??? Fishing grounds. Mind, they don't register amongst the Silent PC Review's recommended PSUs, so they must be Poos, but then, neither does my particular model of Silverstone. As an aside, if anyone wants to learn more about PSUs, the fundamentals, what they do, what's good and what's not so good and what you actually require to run your machine efficiently, have a gander at this: Warning, For Mature Audiences Only. Reading Age of 12+ Required (www.silentpcreview.com) Particularly interesting is the current Intel ATX standard re 12v rails vs what happens in the real world, e.g. multi rails are usually just split off the 12v and not completely independent. |
