Jeez, who the hell told you x1900xtx needs 24Amps on 1 rail?

I know a guy personally who is running X1900XTX oced @ 690/800 (under water) on TP II 430 without any glitch or problem.

This is his system config.

Videocard: X1900XTX @ 690/800 w/ Maze 4

Processor: Opteron 165 w/ Apogee @ 2.7 1.5v

Memory: 1024 DDR400 Generic @ 195

Soundcard: On Board

Storage: Maxtor 80 GB x 2

PSU: Antec True Power 2 430Watt

Now tell me how the hell card is even running on that PSU if it needed 24Amps on 1 rail.

The reading that sampsa took were from ati tool and he himself admited he doubt its accuracy as on X1800XT it showed 38Amps.

Not do you base your decisions based on that??????

I can point you at 20-30 people with dual or tripple rail psus with less than 20Amps on rail running X1900XT just fine.

And you cannot think of 2-3 years from now on. Hell you cant even predict if ATX 2.2 standard will last till then.
 
@Funky

I just took 24A as the maxxx that the x1900xtx could possibly want ..and if your friend is running that rig comfortably with a TP-II 430 then I think an Antec NeoHE will be an excellent psu .. it has one more +12V rail of 17A.

@Goldenfrag

I dont think u need to worry and u can safely go with the Antec NeoHE 500.

btw guys how do u get to know the "continuity" supply rating of Antec PSU's ??? atleast coolermaster has labelled this on their PSU's .. Antec's PSU's come specified with only the rating at MAX and MIN loads and no continuity .. how do u find that then ??
 
Ahem, ATi RECOMMENDS IT.

Itll run fine, but when you need to upgrade, then well know.

Currently your on the Zebby 640W right?

Edit : Mohit, that wasnt Funky's frnd, it was Sampsa's frnd.

Also, the NeoHE has 3 17A Rails. Not 2. Thats why it caught my eye.

So a Neo HE is a big NO NO? for the system as i said goldie?
so goldie what r u suggesting ?
so kido what psu u r recommending?
and mohit .. neo he or tp2?...experts c'mon guide these noobs i have never been in such a dillemna .. i wont upgrade my psu within next 3 years for sure.

guys , tomorrow if i get time besides my studies i'll go to IIT Computer Science Department maybe take a survey of what PSU they uses in their Media Centre Servers i am sure they uses mroe than quadros and yea one more thing i'll do is get in touch with Electronics professor of IIT and will ask him about the power requirements and whats this PSU game.ill try cant put words tht i'll make it or not.
 
I suggest the Antec Neo HE 500 .. it will be more than enough. Do your homework though. Lets see what others say. and ya no psu u buy today can be guaranteed to be future proff for 3 years from now .. its a LOOOOOONG time .. but looking at the kinda upgrade that u plan to do , i think NeoHE will be sufficient man.
 
If your not gonna upgrade your PSU for the next 3 years. And you will upgrade a Proccy and Gfx Card.

Then only a OCZ PS 520W or 600W will suffice.

Kido also recommends the same.

Between a NeoHE and TP2550W Theres no competition. Its NeoHE all the way.

Im sure, that if the OCZ was available here, Funky would have a different decision.

@x86, Server PC's use lower PSU's dude.

Server proccessors are designed to run with Lower Power and Lower Heat. Thats the only difference between a normal Desktop proccy and a server proccy. Going there is not gonna help you in deciding 1 bit. Youll just be wasting time.

hmm.. ahh so much fuss around now say how to order tht OCZ from India i wont definitely change my damn psu :@ :@ :@ atleast before its warranty is over and i'll surelky change the gfx card.
so now is the question how to get the ocz by hook or by crook in India from outside.!!

Mohit as u said i am waiting for indetail explanations dipdude..where r u.

Goldie i am sayin bout the media centre servers not the servers those which r used to deploy high end graphics works/

yep i have zeby 640. And we will see if i need to upgrade.

I can bet 1000 nickels on not needing psu upgrade. Hows that? ;)

And its not about brand name for me.

hell even TP2 550 was in stock when i bought my zeby.

Its about economics and how much to blow on perticular component.
 
Its not about the Money for me either dude.

Its in the Rep of the Company. Thats why OCZ Underrates their products.

Did you read my post?
I said exact opposite :p
Its about money for me, it matters. If there is 5.5K PSU that would run my system with all bells and whistles then i wont spend 6k on psu bcoz its antec.
And honestly PSU is fragile active device in the PC. Importing PSU is something not i would want to do personally, be it ocz.

I just wana tell you dont expect any PSU to last for 2 years if you are upgrading your PC in next two years. I have doubt even current standard will last that long.
The best you can do is get decent PSU with EPS12v and good rails. and it will last you for say any upgrade this year mostly.
 
u are talking about rep of a company. if u want to buy according to rep of a psu making company i dont think any1 would buy an ocz. would prefer an enermax.

& also according to you less rails & more amps is better, then how are recommending a antec neo he with 3 rails & less amps to a tp2 with 2 rails & more amps.

this topic is really hopeless & wasted. give me a x1900xt & i will make it work on a smartpower 450w without any problems. or maybe even a smartpower 400w.

& ofcourse deejay is liking this topic n waiting for someone to sell his dual or triple rail psu. heh

Just wanted to add to this point. Nowhere was it mentioned on which voltage line the 38A was being measured. Whether on the 12v line or on the Vgpu voltage. Someone else down the thread mentioned that the current measurement was being made on the Vgpu.

Nothing but the OCZ PS 520W. 600W is an overkill
Click to expand...

Isnt that contradictory? The 600W is the one giving trouble :P

BTW, at the end of the thread which you or funky linked to.. the guy replaced the OCZ with a Fortron FX700-GLN 700W PSU. That has 4 x 12v rails with 15A each. It worked flawlessly, which completely sends your theory off ;)

I would not agree with that. Lets take for example the EPS standard - EPS is a standard developed for servers. Yet now it is being implemented for higher-end Desktop systems like the SLI-DR Expert board. That would imply server PSU's are one step ahead of the desktop PSU's.

Ahem, my Choices are in the Rs.7000 Range.

The OCZ PS 520W is the best money can buy at 140$.

You see that a person with a TP2 550W with Dual 20A and 18A rails couldnt run x1900xtx in crossfire, while the OCZ ran it flawlessly, so it puts your theory out of the question.

Again man thats RD480 and that too A8R MVP power distribution problem.

If you have made up your mind on ocz fine, but the theory that you need 24 Amps on 12v rail is completely nonsense.
 
exactly what i was saying. the topic is nonsense.

for 7000rs that too a ocz psu from usa. i think its not worth it goldenfrag. get a better psu & a better brand. not that the ocz wont work proper or something. in that price range of 150$ u can get a better psu, although u wont have probs with a 520w psu cause its more than enough for whatever rig u decide. u got a chance to get a psu from usa. get a good1.

instead of spending 7k on the ocz i would rather pickup a tp2 550w from here for 7000rs with warranty or a neo he which is around the same price range.
