Obviously Corsair, BTW 3.6k? I thought it was still 3.9k, thnx for that info.
why don't you people experiment and try using two local power supply such that of Intex or any other. Two PSU each of 400W gives 800W for just 800 Rs. I am successfully using it but only thing is you have to find a place to keep the second PSU.
i think using two psu's.........can be a bit risky..........but dont know can that work??...........i have local company xtech (450w)....and now i am going to buy palit hd4850.....should i buy a another local company psu of 450w???
which psu do you use damngood?
Not necessarily, the GFx cards need a specific wattage on the +12v Rail, if the value is met on a single rail then no need for dual or triple rails.NO DONT EVER DO THAT
See the WATTS are compared to usage of the Hardware , since some of the hardwares like "graphics card" want power in a detailed process like Vrail subdivision
V1+V2 is sufficient for the mid range single GFX card , the V3 rail is added to the V1+V2 +V3 for the watts capable of handling the cards like "280GTX & 4870X2"
but these rails are functioned according to the POWER watts which comes in the PSU .
Not necessarily, the GFx cards need a specific wattage on the +12v Rail, if the value is met on a single rail then no need for dual or triple rails.
Just to prove my theory, this PSU(*www.corsair.com/products/tx/default.aspx) is nvidia SLI certified and can run even HD4870x2 without a hitch but has only one powerfull +12v rail, to buy a PSU you need to keep an eye on TOTAL WATTAGE RATING ON ALL THE +12V RAILS COMBINED, this should exceed(for safe side) GFx card's recommended value.
Are you sure? My Corsair CMPSU 620HX reports 11.88v to the bios when Idle, and during load it goes to 12.3v if necessary, it fluctuates as per needed.see, when all load is on a local 400W PSU, then a system crash is inevitable. But when you use one of them to connect motherboard peripherals, hard disk and DVD drive only which consumes approx 250W on a high end system , it is sufficient and on other PSU you can connect your graphic card and extra fans which at full load will take atmost 300W with a high end graphic card.
So no pressure on system and on rails is put on and you can easily verify using a voltmeter as pro people do in benchmarking.
I always get a voltage just higher(approx 12.3V on 12+ rail) voltage on all rails. They are completely stable.
The day voltage starts dropping, your PSU won't stand and just change it.
