Amd 3500+ venice
Asus A8N SLI Premium [Manufactured in Taiwan] Rev 1.03
XFX 6800 Ultra 256 MB DDR3 Pcie
Sony CD RW CRX230
Benq DVD RW 1640
2 * Sata Hitachi [7200 rpm or 10000 rpm] 160 GB Hard Disk and One old 40 GB ATA Samsung. [Total 3]
Cabinet Antec p180 [the fans will be powered from smps molx connectors as i've read 2*120 mm and one 80mm r there i think]
2 * 512 Ram
[
Sound Card May Add Later
A Tv Tuner Card later Maybe
]
I'm goin for powersafe 500 watts ...
Its gonna take the load without any glitches right?
i'm not planning for SLI for now but if i use it for sli after an year would the 500 watts do?
i am really worried as i dont have 6500 bux for antec tp 550 watts.
[There are always 1 Usb devices running say for my cell ph modem or cam ..]
If the smps dont do tell me a smps within 3k that will do better than powersafe 500 watts.:( :S
 
vantec? or antec? and umm powersafe have problems or what cuz i've already ordered tht now i have 2 cancel tht :(
 
there are 3 fans in P180 ...... all are 120mm but the lower chamber one is having little more width than the other two ..... and about the PSU's make sure that the wire reach the Motherboard properly ..... because of the different chamber design distance between the PSU and connectors are more than normal .....

about the processor i will not suggest wasting money on 3500+ ..... better get a opetron 144 or 146 and OC it ..... 2.4 and 2.5 u can reach easily and it will give better performance than 3500+ .....

i think powersafe 500w will do just fine ..... as i was running mine current rig on 500w for 3 month ..... even it was on 400w for 25 days when i send mine 500w to home ..... but do chk the cable length ....
 
hmmm i see rahul but i am gettin the proccy for around nearby 10.5k the e6 one i have ordered it how much is the opty 146? i dun wanna overclock since i wont be here in home after my board exams .. so this is gonna be my file server and mydads gaming rig.
is there real performance difference between 3200+ , opty 146 and 144 i dont think so .. and yea the cache but amds r efficient enuff thts y a 3500 venice and 3700 sandiego performs allllllllllmost the same the difference they makes are unnoticable in our daily use.
 
if u are doing mumtimedia and gaming stuff cache really matters ..... 3500+ and 3700+ sandy no way have same performance ..... anyways 200-300Mhz OC doesn't really stresses a processor it can do it on the default voltages ..... even u can undervolt the processor ...... sorry buddy i don't know the price of opty 146 but i think it wud be less than 10k ..... and i will suggest u for opty .....
 
correction pal...there r 3 * 120mm fans....with 1 80 mm and 1 120 mm optional....so 3 120mm fans provided and the biggest one (near the PSU is a large motha..) also its a high CFM, and is a power b**ch...

You could try a zebronics 520W also....a couple of guys on TE have em....ask their opinions....I also use one :ohyeah: and its nice...no probs at all.
 
but where the heck optys are available even rashi says they dont have opty 939's :O :( ...and also for my ups which one you guys suggest? this is goin to be my home file server .. around 10 mins backup will do me fine

800VA numeric is what I use in Chennai...maybe not as good as APC but it gets the job done and won't cost a bomb...

APC use if u really wanna get backup. I think 10 min is more than suffi. unless u live in an area prone to power loss..
 
^^^ Reg the Powersafe does it have longer cable enough to connect to the motherboard...since u r getting P180, the SMPS will be down...see to that the wires are long enough.
 
apc is costing me a bomb i've used some they r so damn reliable what about the apc 650 va tht would do fine right? and ya i've told tht to my dealer to check powersafe cables but does it have long cables? any powersafe users :O
 
Just in time......for MR. x86

I just made my system with PS 500W Smps

.... but SORRY News.....m8

They DOESNOT Come with LONG "ENOUGH" Wires

....should i say....they r STRETCHED to the mobo connectors!

(using that in a VIP G300 Cabby)
