Hey guys,
I need to know which is THE BEST, PSU available in the $150 range.
I am having serious thought's over the NeoHE which has only 17A on the 12V Rails. Im going to upgrade to a 7900GT in May. So the PSU should sport atleast 25A's on a single rail, for the Card.
Kidoman, is telling me, that its better to have a PSU with a very strong Single Rail, for the future gfx Cards. I Agree with him too.
If single Rail, it should be atleast 32A on the 12V Rail. If Dual Rail it should have atleast 25A's on 1 of the rails.
Thanks.
 
:O dude y r u givin me heart attacks .. this is wat i was fearing of in the asus mobo manual it said min 22 a needed on the 12 volt rail :( soo?
i think we need chaos :)
:( nyways best psu dunno maybe here r some nioce A

So if the ratings of the NeoHE are at 50DegC, it might be better than others proclaiming higher Amps at 25DegC!!:)

And i do not mean the ones posted here!! I mean the usually available in India, Antecs!!:cool2:

Any idea anout Coolermaster!! Coz availability locally is Important for me!!:cool2:

Coz i am hugely indebted to my Guruji for babysitting me all the time!!:ashamed:
So do not want to bother him if decent enough stuff available locally!!:cool2:
 
Must be sleeping.

I already researched at XS and EO. The NeoHE is a No No.

And 2 people are running x1900XTX's in crossfire with this PSU.

I have no doubts now. This PSU is the best!
 
isnt the Antec TP II 550EPS12V good ?? it also has 38A on +12v rails (2*19A) ..i think this is good too.
 
First of all wth is going on here.

G71 will have similar power usage to that of current cards, not more.

Hell even X1900s work properly on PSUs with Dual rail 17Amps PSUs.

This is way over rated. Jeez, its not like you are running a car here guys that you need to worry that much about for 25amps on single rail.

With multi rail PSUs you wont get 25Amps on 1 rail PSU, thats out of ATX 2.1 specifications. Thats why this specification is there. The max is 20Amps on 1 rail.

Thats it. If its above that its not ATX 2.1 PSU.

And really, there is no need to worry about power consumption this much. Yes these cards are power hungry but quality single rail PSU with 30-34Amps or 17-20Amps / rail dual rail psu will suffice just fine for these cards.
 
Thank you very much Funky!!:hap2:
Coz i was very confused!!:ashamed:

Now that i am back on TE, No wonder your Monkey is missing!!:rofl:

funky i have to disagree with you on this one, and you dont have to take my work for it.......... i am scourging the forums (XS) for finding that post for you. That guy got screen corruption with a 680W Dual rail PSU but passed with flying colours with a single rail 580W.

The x1900xt demands 24A on the rail it is connected to. If that particular rail is underrated, then it shows artifacts.

*searching XS for evidence*
 
Most of the issues you will find with dual rail will be with SLI or CF setups.

If 1 guy has problems with dual rail PSU does not mean everyone has the problem. There are countless others running single card system just fine.

And mobos like RDX480 based A8R MVP do have issues with dual rail under crossfire, thats known issue. If thats what you found on XS then you know what i am talking about.

ATi suggest moddest 30Amps rail PSU for X1900XT under fully loaded condition. That tells all you need to know.

EDIT: I think this is the thread you are looking for.

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=87790

Go through the whole thread.

I have read it before, and pleast note sampsa didnt measure the current physically ;)

And issues are with crossfire setups.
 
Nopes...... i was referring to a dual 7800gt setup. not CF. And its not limited to that single Mobo (A8R-MVP)

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1302227&postcount=1

Hope this helps.....

A single rail (with higher amps) seems to be hands down better than a weak rual rail system (with ratings like 17-17-17 or 22-20.)

Thats why in XS ppl end up using the god of single rail PSU, the Zippy 700W.

XS said:
Even without any modifications, this test session wasn´t the easiest.

After installing the drivers I saw some artifacts in the windows loading bar.

When I got to the desktop I saw a pop-up notification which said that there isn´t enough power available for the cards to maintain functionality.

First I thought that it was somekind of bug, but when I lowered the vcore voltage of the cpu, I didn´t see any artifacts or pop-up notifications after bootup. Then I raised the vcore back up, and there was the artifacts and the notification again. I realised that my OCZ Powerstream 600W simply couldn´t supply enough power for two 7800GT cards and dual core cpu, since the psu has two 12V rails (18A + 20A).

After changing in my Tagan 580W 2Force (U22) psu, the problems went away. Tagan can supply 35A to 12V rail in combined mode. That is well enough for pretty much anything

EDIT: Funly, remember sometime back you showed us the 12V rail readings of your PSU under load. Which rail did u measure btw?
 
As i said, problem is with the SLI and CF setups.

And the issue is with 7800GTX 512 SLI, that gainward and X1900 crossfire. And thats no ordinary GT.

And X1900 issue is with A8R-MVP only. People have benched A8R32 and it works fine with multi rail PSUs even in crossfire.

The thing is XS community is kinda driven by xtreme madness. Thats the plain truth. And its not bad thing, but every joe is not extreme. You dont need to rely on XS to do your decisions. Assess your working conditions, see the techincal data and decide yourself. Ofcourse those are good for referance. but for god's sake look at the systems of those guys. None of us here have that kinda system.

And the 12V multimeter reading that i showed was 2nd rail. The rail driving the molex connectors.

but dont worry i have checked the +12v from ATX connector, molex and 4 pin connectors.

All are slightly above 12v line under full load too ;)

And we will have atleast 6 X1900XTs here on TE soon , we will see then practically.
 
so any of you guys contemplating upgrading to single rail 30+A single rail psu's from ur existing multi rails good brand psu's ??

if so i can offer decent prices for the used multi rail psu's.

my decent price = less than 50% of the actual retail prices.

not interested in buying anything less than 550W......
 
Funky, the thing is, the 12V Rails on the PSU, DONT ADD UP.

And i know that the x1900xt can work on say 22A's but, the PSU i need, should last me for atleast 2 years. Which i doubt, but its still looking ahead. The Nex gen cards are gonna require more power, with the xtx already needing 28A on the 12V rail. The NeoHE wont even support 1. As the 12V Rails DO NOT ADD UP!

If they did, there was no problem at all. Ask any1, at XS, EO, OcForums.

I PM'ed a few characters, and they told me go with a Single Rail, high ampered PSU. Im doing that only now. Since im getting the 7900GT soon.
