Hi,
I'm from Ireland
My mother board is an ASUS P5W-DH Deluxe which needs a 24 pin and 4 pin 12v
connection to run, does the Black Diamond Power Supply 12cm Fan, 20/24 Pin,
SLI 2x6pin, 500Watt have a 24 and 4 pin connector or just a 24 with
detachable 4 pin for 20 pin and seperate 4 pin boards. Would you have an
idea is 500w enough for PC with that motherboard, an intel Duo E6600,
Sapphire Technology Radeon X1950PRO
256MB DDR3 PCIE
Crucial 2x1GB 240-Pin DIMM
PC2-6400 Unbuffered Non-ECC CL4
2 X Western Digital Caviar SE16
500GB S300 16mb
and running two case fans
(Coolmaster Centurion 5 case) as
well has the processor fan (Zalman
120mm CNPS7700-CU Copper)
and an audigy 2 ZX
I had an Antec EarthWatts 500W 80 plus earth friendly PSU
but it blew up after a week!!!
it was plugged into a surge protected plug board with the monitor and speakers they are fine
I don't know what happened to it
i left it on and went to work
when i came home the socket switch was off on my flat's trip switch boards and the fuse had blowen in the computer cable, So i tried a different cable in the computer. and the psu Buzzed and smoke same out of it. I don't know why this happened as the computer was idle. But AI N.O.S. was on, the only thing i can think of is that the computer went into sleep mode but uTorrent was still on writing to the drives, and things over heated but why would it blow up. Maybe AI NOS messed with the voltages and made it unstable. I'm such an idiot is there a chance the whole computer is damaged?
any help would be great.
Thanks as always,
