I dont think the Vantec would suffice for a setup with DC CPU 2-3 HDD,2 ODD,X1900 series card n all....
Just my opinion zhopy...
 
Um? Just coz i dont know, that means shame on me? :S

Whatever :S... I must have been a kid when he did whatever :S. Im only just 16 :S.
 
Ok chill....
Lol
Well google around for the deeds of this man,i have immense respect for him,a great visionary.
Even though he was a great bussinessman,he did things for the common man also..in the field of education and medical research..
Only a visionary can achieve so many things.
 
Dude!!!

JRD Tata did stuff when you were a kid?? :rofl: :rofl:

He was the first aviator from India.

AIr India?? It was his. He sold it to the Indian govt a little bit after independance.

Heard of Jamshedpur?? Who do you think it is named after :P Jamshedji Tata.

He was among the first true industrialists in India.

Yea, but im only looking at the Future, as i wont upgrade the PSU too often :P.
Cards like the x2900xtx, 8900gtx, blah blah..

Exactly. futiristic i wish i cud have afford tht 850watts pcpower and cooling anyways so does this means neo he is weak for 8900ultra?

Its very possible.

Its all upon the amount of Power it uses. The 7900GT / GTX are destined to use atleast 24A's. Just like the x1900xt and xtx's.

At this rate, requirements are just going up.

So... .there we go :/.
 
Guys, OCZ is good no problem there.... Enermax.... err I doubt as never heard OC peepzz talkin too much abt it. This whole issue means PSU makers should lab-test (SLI/CF Setups & Better QC) it before launching products.
 
Asus A8R-32 MVP Deluxe board powered with RD580 chipset can even work with multi rail OCZ 600 W or Akasa 650W PSU as we guess it is distributing the power better than the previous one.

Guys dont forget that the RD580 works rocks stable with those two cards and with multi rail psu, so maybe next gen chipsets would not have the multi-rail psu problem with crossfire or sli setup's.
 
Guys, some interesting news from the inq
Benchmarketing:

We used :
Asus EAX1600XT Silent 587/1386 MHz
Asus A8R-MPV Crossfire RD480 based motherboard
Asus A8R-32 MVP Deluxe RD580 based motherboard
Athlon FX 57 at 2.8 GHZ
2x1024 MB OCZ gold edition PC 4000 memory
Western Digital 8MB 160GB SATA drive
Akasa AK128 EVO Athlon 64 cooler
Akasa 650W multi rail PSU
OCZ Power Stream 600W PSU

You may notice that we used two power supply units but there is a big well kept secret behind the single rail versus dual rail PSU's and we will write about it soon enough. Let me just say that its not power supply unit manufacturers fault it's rather graphic and CPU manufacturers fault that those boards wont be stabile with ATX 2.0 or later multi rail PSUs

^^ yeah thats right .... not managing the power well maybe the reason behind not stable performace of the graphics card/CPU/mobo .....
 
Absolutely, this thread was rubbish, I just doens't make sense that Dual/Triple rail PSU can't handle high-end GFX cards...
 
Part One Intel, AMD, Nvidia and ATI, that is

It turns out that we were barking up the wrong tree. For example, sources close to Asus told us that some of reviewers had problems with single rail PSU and had to change to dual rail to make the RD580 boards work. We had it the other way around with RD480 boards.

The essence of the problem actually lies within the big four, Intel, AMD, Nvidia and ATI. They are all guilty for going too far, too fast with power specifications, in order to reach the performance crown, of course. For example, the ATX 2.0 specification requires two 12V power rails or more and some of the manufacturers designed two rail designs at around 20 amperes per rail. The problem is that Intel's Extreme Edition or Athlon FX60 can easily reach that. We learned that Intel's latest Extreme edition draws 22 to 23 amperes of its default 3.73 GHz clock speed. As soon as you overclock the same CPU at 4.4 GHz your CPU will draw as much as 28 to 30 amperes but this number includes all the fans and the pumps that you need to keep the beast cool.
