Give me a system setup where a seasonic S12 430w ps would fail...

[jinduy]

$99 is a huge investment for a psu this expensive, although it is THE quietest fanned psu out there.

can someone provide me a sample system setup where it may fail to be sufficient?

Ribbon13's computer comes to mind...

It's a very nice PSU.

It may fall short for two 6800 Ultras though.

omfg ur rig is unbelievably pricey! not to mention kickass heh

I prefer not to talk about it. Any mention of it is 'bragging.' So it shall be nothing more than a discrete link. ^^

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

He pays me for mentioning it.

 

[jinduy]

btw u think it's more worth it to save myself $25 and go with the 400w super silencer version of the seasonic psu?

 

[ribbon13]

what's the rig in question?

My primary reccomendation is usually this

For this computer?

Have you decided what you want yet? The 400 watt Seasonic should be just fine.

yeah that's the one... i'm still scrambling around for a psu and debating whether the seasonic is worth it or not

the reason im so picky about this was because when i built my 1800xp system 3 years ago, i went for the cheapest parts possible including psu and it was damn loud. now i'm a lot more careful about this.

That doesn't look like it's the same one, no 120mm fan?

My first system was an 1800+ too, pretty loud. Since then I got louder (overclocking a 2100+ to 2700+) and have gotten quite sick of my Thermaltake Smart Case Fan IIs.
