7600GT SLI PSU Requirements

hehe, i remmeber a year or 2 ago wed be saying that opositely for the 8800GT and 3870 how time changes.

IMO id put enermax and be quiet in the top teir and nexus in the medium.

reason being these revolution PSUs are getting rave reviews. superbly quiet and over 90+ efficiany.
same with the be quiets, all upto the 1200w, i know sam didnt have a good time with the 850, though i had a superb time with the 650w, it couldnt have been a one off, as other sites loved it.

as for nexus, id put it in the top, but we dont know how its highest performing units do.

and lol @7600GT tri sli..... howthe idea that you can do tri sli on that at all is funny not to mention they are crap by todays standards, even in "tri" sli.

 

Indeed it does, of course back then that was crippled architecture design on ATI's part. The GTX275 is merely lacking in memory management and memory size, performance aside it is still a better card design than the 3870 was, even if the power consumption is extortionate.
As for Enermax and Nexus, the situation stands. Their 430W PSU has as much power to give as most 600W units with the lowest noise level in its class. They are known for solid, reliable performance. Every Enermax PSU generation prior to the Revolution (which is too new to say for sure) has had severe reliability issues.
The newer Enermax units are certainly more efficient, but they stand before a track record of dubious reliability, from the Noisetaker, Liberty, Galaxy and Modu82 series units.
As for BeQuiet, they're another case of unexemplary manufacturing. I refuse to believe that even you could be able to remove the IEC bracket from a PSU unless it was poorly attached to begin with, the 850 unit I had not only was severely underpowered, also had serious voltage leak issues under standby, and for what they are, they're just overpriced midrange units with quieter fans on them (and even then, only for the lower grade units, my Corsair HX520 was much quieter for the same load that the 850W BeQuiet was)
