@udit i dontthing so getting an opteron firsly will make any difference to that much of load of power.. i guess if u stick with NeoHe 550 it should take on anything on its way.. also none of us can commen on ur future cards as we wont know how it will perform... so im my opinion if ur being future proof NeoHe 550 is the answer. also remeebr u might get a very good resale value if it is antec.. so with some addition buks u can later even upgrade to the latest line of PSU which antec might have under their sleves for future..
righ now dont worry that u will have opteron 170 .. it is notthat power hungry as u think.

For your current rig a powersafe 400W to 450W should be enough. even with moderately high o/c levels. fairly good condition used ones can be bought from here at Rs. 1K ~ Rs.1.4K
for ur proposed future rig:
is there any particular reason for
3 hdd's and 3 optical Drives ??
Nevethless a powersafe 600W or Antec tp2 550W should be optimum. Powersafe is for 5K approx( Great VFM) and Tp2 550W is for 7K (or less). depending upon ur budget you can safely choose any between the two ...
i know this may sound weird but i'm a little scared .. i already bought the antec neo he its on my way to home by couriers.
i'm kinda really scard but for goodness sake the psu i have is A3 but still its sticker is notbroken.
hers what a hardcop member says
MY NEOHE WOES ARE OVER!
Just thought id let you guys know how my replacement went.
NO crashes at all, ever, since i been using my 'A3' revision NeoHE that i had been testing on the bench at work for 2days. I have since been using it at home and both XP 32bit and 64bit are rock solid.
An interesting side note is that the voltages reported by SpeedFan, although not the same as my multimeter, are a LOT smoother. So something appears to be different in that respect.
The NeoHE's we have been selling at work since the 'A3' revision made it to our shelves appear to be rock solid also. He havent had any back yet. They have been sold with all sorts of motherboards including ASUS and DFI and i have no problems to speak of.
Of course if this changes, ill be the first to tell you!
Cheers

AntecRep said:This summary’s objective is to clear up any confusion pertaining to Antec’s NeoHE power supply series compatibility issues that have come up, as well as some other points.
Customer satisfaction is an extremely high priority for us, and we are fully prepared to help our customers in any way that we can. Our customer support technicians are standing by, and are happy to help anyone who may be experiencing difficulties with an Antec PSU. The NeoHE comes with a full three year warranty and in the event that a customer is faced with a non working product within these three years, we will be happy to replace it.
Asus motherboard issue
Initially Antec and Asus received reports of issues between NeoHE and two Asus motherboard families including the A8N motherboards. After testing done at both Antec and Asus’s facilities both companies were able to reproduce the problem. Asus let us know that they believed customers may have to upgrade their motherboard to version 1.02 (through Asus) and also to make sure they used the latest BIOS to solve the problem. Further testing by both companies seemed to confirm this.
However once this fix became known to the public both companies received reports from end users that even with version 1.02 motherboards and the latest BIOS they were still experiencing random shutdowns. Once again testing was done at both companies, and from that testing it was concluded:
Old BIOS original NeoHE incompatible for 80% of users
BIOS 1009+1.02 mb original NeoHE incompatible for 20% of users
BIOS 1009+1.02 mb modified NeoHe no problem
At this time (end of November 2005) we air shipped modified NeoHe’s to both our Fremont and Rotterdam offices to be made available to customers who fell into that 20%. In addition, all NeoHE’s that were being shipped out in December included this fix. NeoHE’s with this fix include A3 or higher in the serial number bar code area.
NeoHE Warranty Sticker
As has been noted original NeoHE’s warranty sticker suffered from two problems. Notably the material used was too weak to survive shipping and would often tear. Secondly the position of the warranty sticker was not as specified by Antec for our power supplies. Recent shipments of NeoHE’s have rectified these issues.
A broken warranty sticker does not necessarily invalidate the warranty: as long as the power supply exhibits no other evidence of tampering, as long as the sticker is the first production one in the original location, and as long as the special circumstances warranty procedure (described below) is followed, Antec will honor the warranty for affected Neo HE power supplies.
Customers who encounter this issue must take the following steps:
1. Contact Antec Customer Support by email at customersupport@antec.com or Europe.customersupport@antec.com to report this issue, the sooner the better. Include the model and unit serial number in the report.
2. Antec Customer Support will respond with an email listing that specific power supply by serial number and confirming that, barring other external or internal signs of tampering, Antec will honor the warranty for that reported unit.
3. It is the responsibility of the customer to keep the email from Antec Customer Support. Should an RMA ever be required, the customer will need to produce said email along with other warranty paperwork such as the purchase receipt, RMA form, etc. This is an additional special circumstances requirement for these cases, and no exceptions will be made.

^^The 600W has rails of 19.5A, 19.5A ,19A. However the max 12V output is just 456W which is the same as the NeoHE 500. The 5V and 3.3V output is 166W. So in theory even though it is rated at 600W, it probably would never be able to supply 600W to a modern PC since most of the power is drawn off the 12V rail. In future we'd see more PSUs with low 5V and 3.3V and extremely beefy 12V.
