Highly rated 620W PS, can run 8800GTX's in SLI, which I do. My wall power meter only reads a 420 watt draw (e6700, Abit IN9 680i, 1 HD, 1 OD, 5 x 120mm fans, 3 x 92mm fans, 1x 40mm fan, 2x 50mm fans), so the 620W Corsair puts out plenty. In that range it's also very efficient, 80% or better on 120V.

So does one need this kind of power for a 7900gto and a dual core? Is a 500W enough?

Might wanna consider a Silverstone Olympia series.... 650w and 750w versions. nice feature is a single +12v rail.....and very quiet. SLI/crossfire cert will be added to Nvidia/ATI lists next month..(no change in PSU, just takes time to update list)

54A +12v rail on the 650w unit for $127 + 10s/h EastLuna.com (NO REBATES!)
60A +12v rail on the 750w unit. for $149 + 10s/h EastLuna.com (NO REBATES!)

The corsair's 3x 18A rails would not be enough for a ATI x1950Pro AGP as it requires 40A total from two 12V hookups...) There's also concern about such low Amp PSU's for future of power hungry vid cards as the 12V amperage is split into too many pieces.... This particular Silverstone model makes that conern non-existent...


Here's a review of the 650W unit at Hardware Logic... ---> LINK

OP750 info from EastLuna

The Olympia series continues the fine form established by the first SilverStone performance single +12V rail Zeus ST56ZF and expands to a new plateau. Precision manufactured by industry leading robotics assembly line and designed by SilverStone's world-class PSU engineering team, the Olympia OP750 possess serious performance with real-world usability. With a single +12V rail continuous output up to 60A at 50°C , this peerless power is harnessed in a compact enclosure and cooled by a high quality 120mm fan tuned to perfection. Combining these performance and ergonomic attributes into a power supply such as the OP750 is a dream come true not only for ardent enthusiasts but also for those who are simply looking for the best.

False....It will handle a 8800GTX all day with power to spare ;) ( Corsair 520)

The HX620W is one of the highest rated power supplies on jonnyguru and silentpcreview. It's modular, completely stable, and is more quiet than those silverstone ps. Reports of 8800GTS sli'd using the HX620. Silverstones are nice units and OEM Enhance. Corsairs are made by Seasonic. This unit is near silent according to all the reviews.

Mine's should be here by Wednesday. I ordered from Buy.com. It's was $150 with 7% off if you got the email, free shipping and $20 MIR. $120 + a lot of tax for me shpped.

jonnyguru rates it a 9

Silentpcreview rates it a 8+

Sli'd 8800GTS H2O cooled

Take the last one with a grain of salt as it was set up by Corsair, but the point remains that the HX620 should be able to power anything less than that. For most people (like me), who will be running single cards, this power supply is more than enough.

Ummmmm....I'm running an X1950XT, FX55, 2 HDDs, Audigy2 ZS, 2 DVDs, fans etc. etc. on an FSP 450W

*sigh*. I didn't say the Corsair "sucked" but u guys sure do flame....


also....the X1950Pro AGP specifications state +12V @ 40A, or 2x +12V @ 20A....

True, I"ve read people running the X1950pro agp on something like a 450W PS with 2x16A rails, but then again I know pepole that only change oil (with std) in their car when the "oil warning light comes on....that's what it's for right?" (quoting my college roommate).

Per ATI's own spec, this Corsair isn't suficcent. The 8800GTX draws less power, and just because it "works" doesn't mean it's "Right".



I'm just pointing out an option.... If I were buying a PS, this Corsair would be on my top picks list without a doubt...

(if ya quote my original post, at least remove all the PS spec info...sheesh....)

I didn't flame you, just corrected you.

The Corsair will power a x1950 with no problems.
It runs like a 2 rail ps and might actually be pulling from the same single rail according to jonnyguru. Whatever the deal is, he was putting 40 amps on it and it worked fine.
Early reports of the OP750 range from good to some buzzing to loud buzzing, but no one is saying it's silent. It's a good ps, but not the same quality and not that much more power. So unless you absolutely have to have more wattage, I would go with the Corsair. Especially since it cost the same or less right now, is silent, has modular cables, and a 5 year warrantee.

I'm planning on building a new pc soon and want something that will very comfortably run a setup that would include...

4 gigs of DDR2 PC1000
2 8800GTX's in SLI
E6700 proc
EVGA motherboard
1 Sata HD
1 DVD Rom drive

Would this power supply be a good fit or should I go for something with more wattage?
