EDIT: Next question is about MB I apologise for this question, but I am basically new in that: Is there any Motherboard which can run 4 Ata133 HDDs and 2 optical drives or I must run the HDDs on SATA? A long time ago I read an article with comparsion, but I cant remember the details. Please jog my memory Hi, I am planing one Big mod, but i have a some questions that need answering The first is about PSU: I want to run: AMD FX series CPU GeForce 6800 series GPU 4 HDDs 2 Optical Drives 4 Cold Cathodes about 30 leds VFD 8 Fans Enheim 1048 Pump and I want to overclock the hardware to its edge Is 500W PSU enough or I have to buy more "powerfull" one? Thanks a lot
QTec is a brand that labels it's PSUs higher than they actually are. You'd be better going with a quality brand such as Antec, Enermax, Tagan .
meh...500w is nothing...do what my mate did and get a zippy 800watt dual PSU (2x 400w in 1 housing) i think that is enuff? for like 3 systems
I would like to use ModRight Ultra X-Connect PSU. I asked this question because I want to know if dual PSU is wasting money for me or good solution.
I wouldn't say it was necessary at all. Nvidia recommend a 350W PSU for the 6800U, 500W should be plenty.
For a truly fantastic (and spendy) PSU please consider the PC Power and Cooling 510. It is sleeved, offers over volt protection, low distortion, and plenty of leads. PC Power and Cooling 510 It has a maximum rating of 650 watts, but the unit is rated at 510 watts.
