PC Peripherals will POV 500W will be enough for a 8800GTS and AMD X2

[Spectre]

I would be giving my current config to my friend

AMD X2 4000+, 2*1GB DDR2 667, 8800GTS 640 MB (G80), 1 SATA HDD

I was powering this with CM 600W without any issues. I would any day suggest VX450 but he would be averse to spending 3.5K on PSU, though i could convince him to take an SMPS for about 2.5K

Seriously anyone outside serious gaming/hardware geeks would say - WTH an SMPS for 3.5K, have u gone insane !!! - ignoring its importance

Absolutely no overclocking by him

Any other better/similar priced option there?

not sure, no review online.

8800GTS G80 consumes 25W approx more @ LOAD than 8800GT G92, 90nm vs 65nm.

Components need clean reliable power.

BTW Corsair should launch VX 350W India edition :rofl:

I have a Asus 8800Gt 1GB, at stock on an M2N-E with 4400+ and 2 Gigs of RAM, the PoV stands good, no issues whatsoever.

Yeah the POV should have no issues unless you have loads of hard disks and fans.

 

[roadrippersid]

how abt a VIP 500W or a Powesafe platinum 500W if not a vx450...

 

[blackbird]

yup pov 500 is more than enough,and if u r on abugdet even the vip 500w silver will suffice

 

[techie_007]

Should take it ok. Else the CM460 for ~2k?

 

[Spectre]

Guys, really on budget,

will CM460 or VIP 500 silver be suffice for this or do i need to settle with POV 500

 

[roadrippersid]

Vip 500W or POV 500 my vote...:hap2:

 

[clown_abhi]

POV Black Diamond 500 right away. It's solid for it's price. hyeah:

 

[RKitect]

using the POV 500 with 9600 gso without issues

I have been using POV500 for HD 4870 and it should be OK

POv 500 is a good PSU can handle the above specs easily
