Help picking a PSU for Asus A8N-SlIpremium

[Thetech]

I'm trying to figure out which Power supply would be better for the Asus A8N-SLI premium board I?m going to buy, either the SeaSonicS12-600, or the PC Power & Cooling 510. I'd rather go with the Seasonic (cheaper) if the Amperage on the dual 12v rails are suitable. I plan on getting a geforce 7800gt and my cpu will be an Athlon 3700+ eventually ill max out the ram (4gigs DDR) and have 2 to 3 hard drives in the system. I might replace the processor With an Athlon-FX or X2. Any suggestions?

Either of those would be fine and are probably overkill.

What do you mean by overkill?

The PC Power & Cooling 510 is great if you can stand the noise..........

I just got a Nexus 400 for mine. Wicked silent and excellent voltages:
Voltage Values:
CPU Core 1.30 V
+3.3 V 3.33 V
+5 V 4.89 V
+12 V 11.78 V
+5 V Standby 4.76 V
VBAT Battery 3.07 V

I have one and it isn't loud, even though it is carrying a heavy load.

I can't imagine purchasing another brand of PSU.

I would purchase the OKIA 500 watt w/quad 12v rails!!

Awesome PSU!! Super quiet!!

Hi,

Check here, brand new review:

Amazing how many PSU just didn't pass the test. OCZ was really disappointing.

It's in german but the tables are in english. They recommend Seasonic.
This was a very very long test.

Cheers.

I have a seasonic S12 600 watt PSU and its powering my overclocked and fairly loaded system and I couldn't be happier, the rails just don't move and are all well within spec. also its not totaly silent but its extremly quiet.

The last 510 Deluxe I owned was not only loud but had to be replaced twice in the first 4 months! Way too much BS for product that pricey...........

Here's a great choice....
