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.

Err.. I never made any theory? Neither did i make a suggestion ? :bleh:

Your theory was that a single rail is better than dual rail, which is a very valid concern that I had pointed out long back when dual-rails were introduced.. considering power is not shared across dual rails and hence even if one of the two rails had juice to spare, the other may still be overloaded. However I just pointed out that the Fortron with 4 x 12v rails had 15A per 12v rail and was powering the rig just fine inspite of the rather weak 15A rating, which again goes in opposition of the initial theory. Why not put a bit of effort to find an explanation rather than give some silly "my budget is xyz, mommy i want the ocz powerstream blah blah" :P

The main reason dual rails was invented was from a safety standpoint. Having 30+ A running on a single 12v rail is a bit risky from the electrical standpoint.

Dual 20 and 18 = 20 + 20 + 18 + 18 = 76A

Yes I know the real ratings and yes i'm making fun of you :P. I'd just like you to read your posts before you post.
 
as i said goldenfrag. check out the enermax psu's. they are really great. i was gonna buy for myself but then had to buy a psu urgently & could only get the antec here.

also check out the seventeam 550w psu's. that is 1 amazing psu for less than 100$. the whole review is on hardwarezone. http://www.hardwarezoom.com/viewcontent.php?docid=263&page=1&doctype=Reviews

but i am not sure if u will get this in the usa.

check the other reviews also on hardwarezone.

& as eddy pointed out. the guy with the ocz replaced it for a fps fx 700 psu which costs 170$ hence its over your budget.

but i would suggest this.

i think most on te will agree with me this is a good price for this psu & is a better buy than ocz 520w.

fps fx600 = 139$

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.

EXACTKY WHAT WAS TIXKLING IN MY MIND..goldie i was thinking that wtf tht means since no 25A psu available in India does this whole nation dont use any graphic workstations cuz i know they do so do they export all psus from outside or wht.. cuz if they all did as u said it wont be stable we wud already see em in market .. goldie it was the ASUS A8R MVP problem. :) there is something hidden in this psu game the idea tht it blandly needs 24A on the rail is a absolute bs hell even look at those pcpowerandcooling sli certified 500wa tt psu's the have dual rails around 19a so? :)
i'd say get Neo HE or Antec Tp 2.0 or a true control if u really wanna change these ampere ratings.
let me know which ur getting cuz if u buy a tp from here or somethin else say zebby 640 i'll go wit u knowing we'll get some good ass discounts.
Joe.
 
4get i even asked.

Any topic i put up becomes a joke anyways.

I guess im better off at XS or EOCF or OC.net

Thanks for your help.
 
chill man goldie ... dont act like a 16 year old now ... nobody wants to laugh at ur expense here .. have a sense of humour mere bhai .. chillax.
 
I dont care really.

Ive already posted on XS and OC.net

**** this. Let them laugh out at me.

First of all, i dont even know the people here personally, so i dont really care if they laugh at me.

I have a limit to what i can take. I asked for help, not jokes on me. If i was going wrong somewhere. Yall could have told me.

I was only debating on the topic as ive heard a lot of good things about the OCZ PS.

Doesnt matter now...

btw what have u decided to stick wit ocz or to go wit neo he? :)
 
Im deciding upon what the guys at XS tell me.

Ill let you know when i find out.

If the "TE GURUS" dont mind.
 
^GF- I feel really bad that you are upset!!:(

But since on TE, everyone is a friend, This is is how friends point out mistakes at times!!:P
I am sure you must have had your share of fun in school!!;)
Friends are not always straight and sober when they point out mistakes!!:cool2:

I feel its better to be a JOKE with the right information than being a JOKER with the Wrong info!!:cool2:

I do not doubt that your opinion is well respected on other forums, but I doubt they wouldn even bother to correct you if you were wrong!!:no:

You mentioned that you do not know anyone here personally but do you know anyone there personally??:huh:

Before this turns into a fistfight- please hold no grudges!!:)
I apologise for any misunderstandings!!:cool2:

Please cool down now!!:ohyeah:

SHAANT GADAADHAARI BHEEM, SHAANT!!:P
 
Its not that.

Im just stuck in such a dilemma which isnt funny, and these idiots are cracking jokes on me.

Just frustrates.
 
well sweetchicks when you ask suggestions be ready for opinions.

When you put down any theory or support something, do your homework, if you make mistake someone will point it out. Post what you have posted here on XS and you will be laughed at there too and more brutally than this.

And you got suggested enermax there too ;)

Its was simple math and physics.

You have seen AT power consumptions charts. The whole system with X1900XT uses 350 odd watts. Considering 90% load on +12v lines thats approx 25-26Amps current draw by entire system. it was as simple as that ;)

Sometimes you behave like kid and we know you are 16 years old but for the love of god be open minded.

By the way ^^^^ that was SCRUBS effect dont take it personally :P

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.

storm, i seriously would like to demonstrate the first x1900xt running on a smartpower 400W....
 
Funky said:
i wont be surprised to see it running on sp400 is system is not too fancy or heavily oced.
Click to expand...

ahem, we are talking about oced systems here. thats the whole point of the thread. instead of picking on ppl just bcoz the opinions differ (as they must for any civil conversation to commence) try and state valid points....... rather than attaching adjectives to each other..........

for example:

a opty 165 running @ 2.7 ghz dual @ 1.5 Vcore say will consume a hefty 200W+ power alone. all the other parts, you are reaching 300W there itself. so you believe a x1900xt will fit in the remaining 100W margin?

i know what you will say..... but get it, we are talking about oced systems........ its abt pushing the envelope.

also, i am preety sure your zebby will run the x1900xt fine, but not everyone will have the same power distribution as the a8r32-mvp board, that too from asus. my point is, the current 520Watter Powerstream was able to support a X1900 CF system even with the bad power distribution of a a8r-mvp board. so its definitely a winner.

Fine print: I am commending the 520W "Powerstream" OCZ PSU, not saying deregetory commments against the dual/triple rail PSUs.
