So to sum it up you think enermax modu87+ 500W will handle [email protected] with 7950? I can't put cp-850 in r3 though if it will be noisier i can swap cases with psu
ps. i live in europe so maybe even higher efficiency @220v

just stressed abit my current rig(965BE with 460gtx 4hdds xonar stx dvd 5 fans on cp-850)
maximum i did get without running furmark PI etc. was 355W
tested for like 10minutes only but should be fine with 600W

should go down when nvidia introduces new chip or lowers 580 price
I will wait with gpu swap and use old gtx460 untill it gets normal and scs3 version shows or something similar or i get into fps problems.

I will check my current setup consumption.
Enermax Modu 87+ Lot 6 600W would be ok for such setup then?

Beside that scs3 is out of stock currently hope it will change.

if 7950 tdp ~6970 then we I go above 600W I believe psu working at 80%-100% wattage is not quiet nor safe in a long term

i picked oc on cpu to 4.2 bd 3hdd 1ssd 6850 additional card with power no option for stx 6fans 140 bottom 2 front 120 1 at back 2 on d14 aging 20% if you want i can reproduce it once more and paste screenshot was not sure about ram i will buy 4*4gb sticks

If you want the new PC to be quiet you have to be VERY careful about your choices in: 1: Graphics card, This is your main screamer. Find one with a cooling solution that is relatively quiet, or get stock and buy a 3rd party quiet cooler option. 2: Your case and CPU heat sink fans. The noctua HS fan...

according to http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/Power It goes to 627W if i5 is overclocked with all those fans drives and 6850. STX takes power from separate connector as well(headphone amp). They might make some margin for marketing purpose of course but i doubt they add 300W to real needs. Thi...

First silent(in bedroom) then efficient I will use it for: 1 gaming/multimedia playback/internet/office apps 2 photo editing lightroom/PS 3 programming in java/oracle etc. I use 27" display with 2560x1440 so it does require some power for games. Titles I play(ed) WoW,CS:S,WoT and soon Diablo3 and Gu...

I'm thinking of building nearly dead silent pc ;) I'm thinking of : - fractal design define r3 (am happy with my p183 v1+cp-850, but i want to give it a try to fractal this time) - 1x 140mm akasa 2x 120mm akasa in front 1x 120mm akasa at the back (up to suggestions if you have any) rubber mounts nee...

Thanks a lot
I figured out that exhaust fan is the noisiest
speedfan doesn't change its speed at all:P
Will update it and see if it helps.
If not I will have to check where it is connected to.

I numbered all the fans and spots to make it easy to discuss this setup http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/1302/p183v3interior.jpg First of all I will use it with drive bay 3 removed and all drives in bay near 5 Atm i have fans in 1,2,4,5( Arctic Cooling Fan F12 PRO PWM+ 3x Arctic Cooling Fan F12 PW...

Anyone did compare this case with fractal design define mini or arc mini cases? I plan to add gtx460 1GB(replace gaming rig gpu) next year so this means goodbye for sugo SG05(300W). I'm getting rid of atom 330/2GB and replacing with i5-2500k/8GB inside of SG05 atm. Since SG07 costs a lot I started c...

you meant this one? www . scythe-eu . com/ uploads/pics/Setsugen_TopView1_01.jpg though after reading topic(Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 5970 now available!) on hardforum I would consider such option as last resort toxic or pcs+ should do fine then maybe with dedicated intake tunnel for better air...

My current rig spec: ASUS Crosshair III Formula, AMD Phenom 955BE(Scythe Ninja II rev.B), 4GB patriot pgs 1600 CL7, some non reference gigabyte 8800GT from old PC. All enclosed in p183 and powered by cp-850. I want to swap it to eighter 5770x2 or 5850(similar cost) The questions I have: 1. Which non...
