9800gtx+ power supply

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Brand-New-850W-Titan-Silent-Power-Supply-FREE-Post_W0QQitemZ360149036190QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Components?hash=item360149036190&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318

would this be sufficiant to run a 9800gtx+? im upgrading my graphics card and i know my 300w psu wont handle the gtx.

also if it means anything i also have an intel E4500 core2 duo and 2 gig ram.

thanks

Personally I would spend a bit more money on a reputable brand.

850w is more than enough. anything above 500w is enough for the 9800GTX+

but whether Titan PSU's are any good or not is another matter. I've never heard of them.

I'd have a look at Corsair, OCZ, PC Power & Cooling, or Antec instead

MTBF 50,000 hours at 25℃

Now that would be good if it was at a higher temperature. I wouldn't buy that. Get a good brand such as corsair, they have a 5 year warranty and last a long time.

Combined amps on the two +12v rails is only 29a, that's not good enough.

well i dont really want to pay too much over $100 for a powersupply.

are there any that i can get in australia under $100 that will be able to handle to 9800gtx+?

Hi I have a OCZ StealthXStream 600 watt supply. I don't know if it's available

to you. The supply is nearly 2 years old and has run an Nvidia 7900GS, and later

an ATI HD 3870. It is now running an ATI HD 4870. This supply is very stable,

has a large fan which helps take air out of your case.

i just did a quick ebay search on it.

theres no 600w one, but theres a 500w stealthxtreme

^^ that's the one i use

i'd recommend it

EDIT - worth noting however, that the early releases of that PSU only come with one PCI-E power connector. you need two of those to power most 9800GTX+ cards
luckily, the one I got had two PCI-E power leads, which was odd but nice. i just assume that's standard with newer models.

Hi Well looks like the OCZ 600 watt is a bit beyond what you want

to spend. http://www.pricespy.com.au/pno_4679.html

alrighty then :) its only like $130 delivered so thats not too bad, just as long as im not throwing away money on the 9800gtx+.

i might look around at prices of others..

with the other brands of psu you mentioned earlier.. are any of those ones (above 500w) pretty well good enough to run it?

I am running the zotac 9800GTX+ with a 460W PSU (CoolerMaster 460W Extreme Power Plus)

hmm that eXtreme Power Plus 460W looks good :) will it run any 9800gtx+? do diff brands have different power requirements?

ahh so you say its not the best for OCing. i plan to overclock my cpu a little, as its only an E4500 @2.2ghz... would that be possible?

also.. would http://www.i-tech.com.au/items.aspx?id=39014 be a better option?

sorry if im being annoying at all, its just im 16 and dont really have alot of money to waste haha. i really appreciate the help though.

Sweet im gonna get the OCZ one.. as its NSW and only $142 delivered. i just bought it as a matter of fact :)

now i just gotta get myself the graphics card and ill be sweet.

thanks heaps guys

Hi Just a reminder. When you install the card don't forget the 6 pin

PCI-E power connector that goes on the end of the card. By the way,

do you know about the Nvidia GTS 250 card? From what I understand,

it's basically a 9800GTX+ that is smaller and takes less power. It might

even be less money to purchase.

oh yeah i totally forgot about the GTS 250!

the 9800GTX+ is a great card, but yeah i'd actually get the GTS 250 instead if i were you. pretty much the same performance (in fact it's marginally better), at a lower cost, and uses less power.

wow thanks heaps guys.

i might look up the prices and such on that.. gives me something to do :D

i was kinda worries about the card size too actually haha, causei only got a basic hp one.

By the way normally ebay isn't very good for components, i n the UK they are normally more expensive.
