Corsair VX450W and GTX570

[[Dee]]

Whatever, ask around some more, you won't be recommended to use a 450W PSU in a GTX 570 rig. Getting a 500W would be safe. And if you want to do what you like, be my guest.

I know that & agree with this though. For op to be on safer side , a corsair vx550 or a seasonic s12 ii bronze 520 is highly recommended.

Vx 450 is somewhat unsafe for a gtx 570 rig. But there's a difference between any ordinary 450w psu and corsair vx450. Its an underrated psu and can give more than 500w in full load.

One of corsair's best and the best 450w psu out there.

I have some doubts about the 500W supply of VX450W - not every batches built with same components - so the one sent for review provided ~500W but that may not be possible with every unit though I totally agree that VX450 is one of the best psu.

@Topgear,

It's nice of you to post such tutorials...

It's that last Dual ATX adapter we are using in our Office setups mostly.. Our office inventory imports them from frozenCPU as well( I wish frozenCPU should start services in INDIA, they are awesome at getting all the modding and watercooling setups sales, you name they will have it). . USA Branch will take care of these inventory stock and sends us to here in Indian Branch for us to do the Jobs. (This is How ,i got circle in USA to send me some tech goodies for my own rig off the record..US tech Guys are very friendly at first i thought this is not possible and They are superb in knowledge too)

Please don't ask for Pictures ,as you Guys know Photography is strictly prohibited in MNC companies... And especially when we tech Guys are around ,all cameras will concentrate at us only.. it's not that they are suspicious about us.. It's just they are worried about super tech Guys knowledge... YES, i am one of the Senior Administrator of IT specialist Group. I am proud to say that loud... ..

^^ thanks for providing such infos.
can we buy those Dual ATX adapter in here ie from local markets ?

@ topgear

Thanks a lot mate for all the info.

But i feel all the methods discussed above are a bit too complicated for a novice & pro user alike. As you said there may be load balancing issues and the methods discussed above were not running any state of the art hardware like a multi gpu setup or something but were for experiments.

I reckon there's a lot of risk involved to practically implement the ideas and use dual psu's to power a system running multiple videocards, harddrives , optical drives etc.

I still don't agree it to be a viable solution for practical use & only sounds good on paper cause a lot of skills is required.

None has put a dual psu in a full or even midtower, so those may be for experiments and seldom for even test benches.

yep - these methods are bit too complicated but using a Dual ATX adapter is perfectly safe IMO. The mobo will handle the load balancing ( though still we need to do some homework for connecting components to the psus ) and we don't need to everyt ime manually switch on/off the psus.

It's really a pain for some to make 2 psus inside of the cabby but some high end pc makers use dual psu setup but they use some custom cabionets anyway.

It's hard to get Quality DUAL adapter in India. Once, we bought in Hyderabad but it didn't worked as it was meant to be.. With same setup , we tried Adapter from FrozenCPU, it worked well...

Yes correct. That is why I never advocate such methods.

Yes Anil,....

Since topic started i shared my experience but for this OP there is no point in using DUAL PSU.... This method is Not recommended for Newbie or Non-Technical persons especially in India where we get duplicates in the name of quality products...
