Help, need some PSU advice

[ptw]

How's this:

http://www.sgoverclockers.com/images/articles/26/specs_L.jpg Hiper Modular Type-R 580W spec with o/c my DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D and Opteron 146. I read you need to have at least 26A on the +12V rail. I intend to run 4 HDs on the system.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hyper Typre R's are pretty good but personally I'd get a solid Tagan SLi model like the 2force or the Easyconn - great solid PSU's

If you have a little more cash a PCP&C is a great PSU*

*Great but pretty loud it has to be said

that is a good choice of psu,i have a hiper 580w modular myself and its great and nearly silent.

cheers.

That sounds great, but are you runing a DFI mobo with it? I read it's not very good with the DFIs.

DFI's are picky feckers but I know Tagan work - don't they XMS

And more picky with the new expert! Our 510 does not have the 8 pin mobo connector! They want the special 510 (ASL) or the 850SSI

You could always buy Frag's. But I think atm Davos has dibs.

I like Enermax because they're supposedly very cheap and extremely reliable compared to high end power supplies. You can also buy a Zippy powersupply, they're good. Tagan's are supposedly a very worthy investment. OCZ PSU's seem to be very popular among well known computer enthusiasts.

P.S. Stay away from dual 12v rail PSU'

 

[FarFarAway]

The new ATX 2.2 spec says you have to have a dual 12v RAIL I believe

Never had any problems with 12v RAIL on my PCP&C

I also use Tagan 2Force, they are very strong , powerfull and silent P.S.U's.

Yep - pretty much a thumbs up for Tagan
