Thanks Buddy, any issues with CM PSU 400W???
that PSU has not more than 70% efficiency
so 70% of 400W is 280W
that means u cant use more than 280 W from this PSU
and that 70% is under certain temperatures readings
thats why
efficiency = output/input for anything.
output = 400w.
efficiency = 70% = 70/100
input = output/efficiency = (400/70)*100 = 571.
to be more specific here -
Efficiency = DC power / AC power
as psu converts ac power to dc power to supply to the pc.
also higher efficiency means less power draw from the wall and saving on electricity bills.suppose it had 80% efficiency. then it would have pulled 500w from the wall. also lower efficiency means more off the excess wattage being converted to heat. for eg. in your case - 571-400=171w is converted to heat. higher efficiency means cool system too.
.
baba you are completely wrong here..
that psu has 70% efficiency means that it will consume almost 571w from the wall socket to deliver 400w.
efficiency = output/input for anything.
output = 400w.
efficiency = 70% = 70/100
input = output/efficiency = (400/70)*100 = 571.
to be more specific here -
Efficiency = DC power / AC power

also a psu is designed to deliver rated efficiency at a certain load. eg-corsair vx450w delivers 86% efficiency at 40-60% load on it.

^^ur help is on ur way
Thanks guys for all your support specially Jas as have gone for his config apart from minor upgrades.
But dint get the FSP Saga II, had to settle with CM 400W PSU. Here's the rig:

GA-880GMA-UD2H (Combo @9.2k)
WD 1TB Carviar Green @2.8K
Kingston 2GB DDR3 1333 @ 1.9k
LG H55N 22x DVD RW @ 0.85k
CM Elite 335+CM PSU 400W @ 3.3k
Internal Card Reader @ 0.15k
Internal Modem @ 0.25k
PCI I/O Card @ 0.25k
Total Cost: 18.7K
Howzat!!!
But one thing gone wrong this guy offered assembling & loading of Windows (My CD-XP SP3) for 200 Bugs. I got tempted & asked him to go ahead with three partitions of 200GB, 400GB & 400GB. Now when he has loaded the OS, the partitions are being shown as E:, F: & G: & the Removable Disk (which is the card reader) is being shown as C: Drive.
Any advise where did we go wrong?
that psu has 70% efficiency means that it will consume almost 571w from the wall socket to deliver 400w.
efficiency = output/input for anything.
output = 400w.
efficiency = 70% = 70/100
input = output/efficiency = (400/70)*100 = 571.
@ op
congrats
i dont know much about software and all but AFAIK just reinstall the windows. choose your own partitions making windows as primary c partition.
yep and now here it is
This a known and common problem of windows Xp.
You have 3 workarounds to solve it :
1. Install Windows Vista or Win 7
2. Disconnect the card reader and install a fresh copy of windows XP and then reconnect the card reader after windows installation
3. proceed with normal windows installation - during the partition selection part of text-mode Setup delete all existing partition and create a new hard disk partition.
you may see the drive letter assigned to the primary hard disk partition is E or a letter that follows E.
Select the newly created partition and delete the partition.
Select the unpartitioned space again and then create a new primary hard disk partition.
now you can see the drive letter assigned to the primary hard disk partition is C but if the primary hard disk partition is not C the drive letter should be displayed correctly on the next system reboot.
BTW, congrats for your new rig.
Thanks once again topgear for all the assistance.
Have formatted the D & E through Disk Management. D: I did a normal format & since it being a 350GB partition it took about 70mins. Hence, quick formatted E: Drive which just took 5mins, hope its okay?
As far as the review is concerned - looks no gr8, but can't do much now.
As they say in Kurkure's Ad: Teda Hai Pur Mera Hai!
