I've been looking into building a new C2D rig. I'm going from a 939 Opteron 165 setup which the Super Silencer has powered just fine for probably a good year or more. Just not sure if the absence of 2 12v rails or lower amp rating on the single rail would cause problems here... Thoughts?
Proposed system:
C2D E4300 or E6320 (buying after april)
Gigabyte DS3 rev 3.3
2x1024 GSkill PC2-6400 (DDR2-800)
1x Samsung Spinpoint 200gb SATA
EVGA 7900GT CO
2x NEC DVD-RW
SB Audigy2 Platinum
I plan on trying to get 2.8-3.0ghz out of the 4300 or 6320. So probably pushing around 335 FSB.
The Super Silencer 460 has a single 25a 12v rail if I remember correctly. It is the revised 24-pin version.
Seasonic SS460 compatible with C2D rig?

It'll be fine, in fact...you should still have plenty of headroom. I would guestimate 300-350W would be used at full load.Interitus wrote:I've been looking into building a new C2D rig.

More like 200W.
Thanks guys. I wasn't so much worried about the total wattage as I was the deal about 2 12v lines instead of one.
I've been out of the loop for awhile and haven't really been reading up on anything at all, especially PSU compatibility heh.
-edit-
Wow I just read the sticky here about dual 12v rail PSU's. Sad I didn't see it before I posted here, but that's what surfing the net after no sleep will do for ya heh. I had no idea why the whole dual 12v rail PSU spec was brought about in the first place. Something new every day I guess hehe
