What power-supply for my PC?
January 28th, 2020
My power supply of my PC is dead now and so I need a new one.
It should be not expensive but good.
My PC:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
GeForce 8800GTS 320MB
Asus M2N E Sli
4GB MDT DDR2-800 Ram
Thanks a lot for suggestions!
Define ‘not expensive’…
That is the point.
I don’t know what I need… – what manufacturer and how much power…
450-500 watt from one of these brands:
Antec / Seasonic / Enermax / OCZ
Corsair HX520 or VX450
ultra makes good ones i’m using Ultra’s X-Finity 500W APFC PSU

i think i only paid 70usd not 100usd what they say on the site.
That is the point.

I mean what’s your EXACT budget? I could recommend you a $200 PSU because that’s not expensive for me.
Yeah the ultra ones are goof, but go 500 watts or over
I just ordered this for a similar build:
OCZ OCZ600MXSP 600W SLI/CrossFire Active Power Supply Retail (modular/600W)

40$ AR
The power cables are NOT modular, but like most know this offers less resistance so I’ll take a few extra cables over that.
Go for 600W. If your HDD is bigger than 320GB, 700W.
Important are the amounts of amperage on each lane. The higher, the better the PSU.

rofl, never heard such before. Only because a bigger hard drive he should hook up 100W more powerful PSU? Hard drives doesn’t take that much power as you think.

Yep average 15 watts. Though it draws 5V and 12V. I recond a ACBEL R8 will do the trick, its cheaper than others and ACBEL makes PSU’s for Corsair and some others.
Can you give me a link to a shop, where they sell it and ship it to germany?
Thanks a lot!
ACBEL makes PSU's for Corsair
Again? Where do you get this info?
I could buy a power-supply by “Sansun” with 500W.
It would be cheap, because I know the seller, but is it good?
Thank you so much…

Somewhere on the net, a long time ago.
It’s certainly not true. Seasonic and some company called CWS or something makes the internals for Corsair

Thank you so much...I never heard of that brand until just now. I’d say it will be enough, still 8800GTS is unpredictable.
I bought it now and wanted to insert it, but the connector to put on the motherboard has got 4 pins less than my old connector…what to do?

I also have this situation, it is working anyways.
Thanks a lot, but I am afraid of powering on my PC. Is there anything, that can happen?
Dude..
Please..
Clean. Your. PC.
I tried to power it on now. Every fan, except the CPU-fan is working. Solution for that? Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.You sure the 4pin 12v connector is connected? It’ll be connected somewhere around the CPU cooler. Otherwise you haven’t plugged in the CPU fanThank you so much for helping me!
This connector belongs to the slot in the �shadow�, doesn’t it?
xxlimg.com/images/s9acf8d78hycnrl0a8.jpgYep that’s the one.
cpu-fan works for 5 seconds, but then stops woking.
Don’t see anything on the screen, except the standby-screen.
Ok I suspect that happened because you turned it on the first time before connecting the 12v 4pin.
What I need you to do is. 1) Unplug the mains
2) Disconnect the 20pin and 4pin from the motherboard
3) Disconnect all hard drives / dvd drives.
4) Look for the watch battery (CMOS battery)
5) Take it out and leave it for 2 mins
6) Put it back in, reconnect everything and finally connect the mains.
no luck, cpu-fan doesn’t want to work.
Do you get anything on display? Does everything else keep working just the CPU fan doesn’t work?
No, nothing on the display, except this standby screen (button turns yellow, too). Everything else keeps working.
Thanks a lot!
Go for 600W. If your HDD is bigger than 320GB, 700W.I think 700w may be a bit much. I have 850w and i am running
AMD Quad 9850
8gb ram
2x ATI 4850 Crossfire
HDD:
2x 250GB IDE
2x 80GB SATA 1
1x 320GB SATA 2
1x 1tb SATA 2
A nice Rosewill 550W will do. You’ll be able to SLI that 8800GTS if you wish.

You don’t want cheap PSUs, they die in a month. You are better off spending a little more now than replacing later…
Edit: After reading some of these other responses, I guess I have to post that I know what I’m talking about.
