Hello All,
I need to replace my AcBel 625w PSU, with something more powerful to accomidate new GPU (Sapphire HD 6770). I'm getting a computer freeze (lockup) after about 40min. of gaming. Everything else (diagnostics, drivers & temps) checks out so I think I'm just underpowered. The PSU calc I ran showed a need of 560w (12v requirement unspecified).
Problem being I'm on a Lenovo S20 MoBo w/intel xeon W3520.

This requires a 10-pin 12v EPS (item #1 on chart) and the 4-pin 12v aux. (Item #29, common).
I've scavenging around Newegg, and various manufacturer's sites and only coming with combinations of 8 & 4. Incidentally, the common 8-pin configuration does fit in the 10-pin (just test fit - no power) but I don't want start playing games with how the current is applied to my CPU.
So, I'm looking for something in the 850w range, & more concerned with quality than price (my guess is about $200ish).
Other specs:
Case: Lenovo thinkstation s20
O.S.: Win 7 Home premium 64bit
Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time & effort, NHC (new guy)
