Edit: To elaborate further. If you have 4, 18 amp rails and the cpu,drives and gpu are on 1 rail, with a high end gpu and a overclocked quad core and 3 hard drives it won't work.

did a mentally challenged person design this supposed PSU?

No it's a OCZ psu.:D I'll see if I can find it. Someone on the forums is selling a 700watt version for 75$ shipped brand new.

Edit : dam I can't remember the exact configuration.

hmm...only ~700W OCZ I know of are GameXstream 700W, StealtXstream 700W, ModXstream 780W, EvoStream 720W, ModXstream Pro 700W and Fatal1ty 700W

none of those are like that. GameX, StealthX and ModX are all FPS and have similar rail assignments. Fatal1ty is Impervio and is single rail. ModXstream Pro is Sirfa and is dual 25A.
Evostream was 3Y, it hat 4 16A, but each PCI-E had its own rail

If the CPU, Drives and GPU were all on a single rail...that would leave only the ATX connector to go to the other 4 rails...yet it only has 2 12V leads...

Hey sorry guys – Ive been having issues posting in the forums lately

Thanks for all the replies – when it comes to PSU's I'm completely out of my element



dflynchimp My resolution is 1680x1050

SRoode That PSU looks great and I really wish I could go for stuff with rebates, but Im over in Dubai & cant take advantage of rebates – only direct sales discounts :-/

Markfw900 That one looks great – I might look into that one

happy medium I have some crummy ‘450w’ shit that only gives 230w consistently, according to the guy at the store. He was grinning & telling me this 4 months after I bought it – eff that, Im importing & stimulating your economy
