Seasonic S12 Energy+ 550W seems to be a good choice in case of upgrade, too. Someone had tested it in UPS with simulated sine wave? Should it work?

Another info for you all folks: i heard some power supply causes some problems with simulated sine wave UPS's, and i have a backUPS pro. For example in the Enermax Infity the manual states that you should only use a true sine wave UPS. What about Corsair's PSU?

I wouldn't call that system a "low load" system. Eheheh, i agree with you, but all my previous systems had 50 terawatts power loads, so my actual system is a low load pc :wink: SPCR's recommended PSU list is a good place to start looking. I can find Enermax Liberty 400W for very good price, but it ...

Hi all! I need a new power supply for this config: Case Antec P150 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4 rev.1 RAM 2 x 1GB Corsair DD2 @ 533MHz CPU Core 2 Duo E6400 @ stock speed + Zalman CNPS8000 Hard Drive Seagate 7200.7 200GB with some mechanical noise, perhaps death is near ( in a week or two i'll ch...

Mandarb: The buzzing is most likely your PSU. a lot of newer PSUs these days seem to have that. I am still looking for one that doesn't. My enermax coolergiant 600W doesn't. I see there is a 480W version, too. I'm looking for a decent replacement for mine PS, too. Maybe i'll give a try to the coole...

Ask Antec to send you the new rings; they will.

Sorry for the thread hijacking
I'm from Italy, do they will send new rings to me, too? Or is only for USA or a particular nation? And, finally, where can i ask?

I surrender

Not sure if this is the right section, anyway... :roll: I want to remove my "old" Enermax 600W PS from my Antec P150 and replace it with an Enermax Liberty 500W. The 600W model will be used on my bros pc. Is it possible to swap PS in the P150 without unmount the motherboard? No space on bottom, no r...

Might it just need cleaning? Dust can build up very thick, causing overheating and smelling strongly.

Maybe it need cleaning, i'll check tomorrow
I hope cleaning will solve the problem, but just in case, any psu suggestion?

I have a dream : a powerful passive card, a 2900XT for example, maybe in a future made of 65-55nm. For you is it possible?

Very nice, thank you

The NE-HE 430W is ok for your config, but... does the 8800GTS fit in p150? Wanna buy one for me, too

Hi all, i have an Antec P150, with a beige :( DVD burner inside. I need a decent silent "real white" burner, something with the right color for the P150. Any suggestion? I need a floppy reader, too. Someone know if the Mitsumi 7 in1 floppy drive is at the right level of white for P150? A link here: ...

Wanna see Damptek in action

CPU - Intel E6300 (cheap option) or E6600 (best bang for buck imo) AMDs maybe a lil cheaper but performance wise are lacking relative to similar priced conroes/allendales Forget about big massive CPU heatsinks... adds strain to the board... adds strain to the build of the computer... for minimal 4-...

OMG, what kind of heat issues? I want to buy this board, and i don't want to overclock, like you.

Very interesting, i have the same case, and i need the same motherboard. Would you please post the entire spech of your config? I mean cpu, fan, etc. In your opinion is it ok to use the stock IHS (i don't need/want overclock), or is better to use an aftermarket cooler?

I'll check those out... Is there any chance that NVIDIA will allow SLI on an Intel whatever it is and that SLI will be enabled? Thanks for the reccomendations... I think it's possible to use SLI on a P5W DH Deluxe, pheraps with hacked drivers, or in a near future with the AMD+ATI danger :roll: For ...

Nice config, but i prefer another power supply. Wanna see photos, i'm curios about solo+zalman+p5w

I am collecting parts for a new build. I plan on getting either the Conroe E6700 or the X6800 - depending upon where the prices are in a couple of months. I most likely will get an Intel mobo - something like the D975XBX Rev. 2, depending upon what else is out in a couple of months. I do not plan o...

Is it the zalman not too heavy for this motherboard? And is it compatible with the board without any modding? Ehm, and yet another question, a little OT: do you know if it is possible to boot via EZ-Backup controller? I have two silent hd and wanna config them with a true hardware raid eheh :) Thank...

Good job!
Is it really possible to handle a 6600@3GHz with a Zalman CNPS9500 and NO FAN?

I want to put a similar config in a P150, i hope it work.

Asus P5W DH can accommodate a Ninja just fine. http://www.gfoto.com/UserAlbum.asp?uid=DF5C2ED96BFC4638A965F885A633246C&alid=170680&page=2&dspmode=1 Sorry for the thread "hijacking", but...

I'm waiting for the AM2 price drop, 3800 x2 for almost 150 euro (in Italy) is good for me

What about eavy tasks (3d games etc...) in 5V mode?

I think i'll go for Xpress 3200+uli, for what i heard is more stable than the SB450... Maybe you have misunderstood something, or you have read something writen by someone who has mixed the slow USB2 performance to stability. I think these kind of false rumors are a reason why the Uli is so popular...

I think in silver is ok, wanna buy one for mine p150 too, better than beige for sure
