Alright then, thanks a lot for your help, very greatly appreciated! I'll let you know how it's going when it's all up and running. edit : and Floss. Thanks a lot
Just a quick question. I've been told that my selection of PSU will barely be able to handle my choice of gfx card?
Seems there are a lot of PSU retards going around lately, I had someone else criticise a PSU I chose recently too. The build specified will use about 190-200W, and they're saying 450 won't be enough?
The guy posted this : http://ati.amd.com/products/Radeonh...quirements.html Quote: 450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express® power connector recommended I'm saying 450W is the bear minimum supply for your gpu, and I think it's a good idea, generally, to have more power than you need. __________________
No, 450W is the recommended minimum, i.e. any old 450W unit. The Corsair VX 450W puts out more power than a lot of 700W units. ATI just have to cover themselves for when someone's using a crappy value Qtec or Ultra PSU, and then 'this graphics card fried my PSU - do not buy' - them not realising the reverse was the case.
It seems he has realised he was in the wrong and so he's decided not to mention it anymore. Thanks for clearing that up though, I was worried I was gonna have to cancel and re-order a new PSU. Thanks again.
