AMD XPs need a Bohamma Momma PS! (Update) Whoops! Wrong List

[Texmaster]

(Update) My bad, wrong list



I was on the AMD website looking at the recommended PS for XPs and MAN they started at 460!

I don't get why both Intel and AMD claim to be producing processors with less heat yet they require these enormous power supplys.

hehe texmaster. you can run on a lower end power supply fine. 300 watts will work up to a 1800+ at least. heck we have one running on a 250 watt powersupply. My athlon 1.4 is 300 watts. Though i feel safer if everything was on a 350 watts power supply. anything more is not really needed unless you are dual processing. Though it would be nice to see the laptop version of these CPu make it to the desktop.

I saw 300 watters at AMD approved for XP1900

You're looking at the wrong list Tex. The 460W PS is recommend for Athlon MP/XP SMP systems, not single CPU systems. There are 250W PS's on AMD's recommended list that are rated up to XP 1800+.

AMD Recommended

 

[flexy]

you must have looked wrong...i know that for the XP1800+ there is at least ONE psu with 250W (!) listed..and all the others for XP1800 and XP1900 are around the 300W range, 320W etc.......i dont know where you looked at....

haha, that page is messed up, it only lists the antec pp303x 300w to support up to 900mhz tbirds.

and here i am, running my xp 1700+, 3 hd's, cdrw, dvdrom with that supply.
antecs rocks.

Texmaster wrong about AMD as usual.

I call them as I see them. The mature people here simply pointed out my error which I corrected an apologized for.

You had to take it down to the gradeschool level so the label fits.

I'm afraid gradeschool level is all you understand.

Right thats why I changed the title and apologized.

Listen, you got caught being a first rate moron, have the decency to tuck your tail between your legs and run away.

The total rated wattage of any PS can be mis-leading. The +12, +3.3 and +5v are the voltages that make up most of the total rating. Alot of Ps's don't give a seperate maximum for the +5 and +3.3 combined, its less that the max of the the individuals. AMD was recommending that the +3.3 and +5 have a limit TOGETHER of 145watts, that upto about 185watts for the bigger BIRDS. Many supplies provide 12amps (144watts) or more on the +12v line, which buys you NOTHING, unless you run lots of case fans or peltier cooling. Most systems can get by with 6amps on the +12v. Thats not all, how well is the voltage regulated and what percentage of ripple affect the PS also. Some PS's don't provide stable voltages fast enough if you have a mig mutha Video Card, result is no post.

You should listen to your own advice.

 

[MrHelpful]

Both of you! Tex, he had a winkie, so you shouldn't have overreacted. Bud, don't stomp the intellectual cripple. It's not sporting.


, just in case you didn't get the idea
