For kolkata guys--
Can please tell me which shop in chadni chowk i can get theese psu
Also tell where i can another AMD 7750 @ 6.2k for my freind............

 

[doomgiver]

very close decision... go with CX430, its got cleaner power output, iirc.

 

[havoknation]

Cx430 v2

 

[hitesh]

CX430 V2.
FSP is the least

 

[topgear]

@ at your budget you can get a VS450 but better would be a CX430v2 by spending 200/300 bucks more.

 

[sayan8]

can any one tell wat is its current market price in kolkata.......

 

[The Incinerator]

Rs 2450 to Rs 2550 in Kolkata.

 

[havoknation]

2650 is the price of cx430

 

[sayan8]

will cx430v2 support future upgrades???

 

[doomgiver]

what is your future upgrade?
truthfully.

are you gonna plug in another card in 1-2 years?
are you gonna plug in a card with 2x the current one's requirements?

or are you gonna upgrade after 5 years?

i hear this lots of time.... gonna upgrade soon, etc, future proof blah blah blah.... hardly any of them do so. in fact, they are just boasting. bet you wont ever upgrade the card.

 

[topgear]

will cx430v2 support future upgrades???

as long as you can keep the power consumption of the future upgrades within the PSUs limit and if a GPU upgrade is what you are thinking about then yes, cards like HD7850/HD7870 will run it on easily.

will cx430v2 support future upgrades???

What is your planned future upgrade?

 

[sayan8]

i5,4 gb ram, 8xxx series maybe......

 

[doomgiver]

so, about 2-3 years, give or take?

you are good. stick with the psu we recommended you.

 

[topgear]

yep, Intel 2nd and 3rd gen ( and 4th gen too may be ) core cpus ( i5 ) and modern gpus consumes much less power - so the PSU is good for future upgrades

 

[sayan8]

Can u tell me....for eg . 6850 requires 22 amps on 12 v rail......but in psu i have 12v1 = 15a 12v2=18a... how do we understand it will work or not???/

 

[doomgiver]

forget about rails and such, it does not concern ordinary mortals like us.

 

[aloodum]

^^ that figure of 22A on 12V is for a single rail psu...264W..

for you its a dual rail....Just see whats the total wattage delivered for 12V...

 

[sayan8]

e k?

 

[whitestar_999]

total power on 12v=(12v1*15)+(12v2*18)=180+216=396W.this will supply power to cpu & graphics card.use extremevision online psu calculator,select capacitor aging as 15% & whatever value the calculator gives buy a psu which provide more power than that.

edit:it seems like the ampere values are OCP(over current protection) values which means that in above example if system tries to draw more than 180W from 12V1 rail or more than 216W from 12V2 rail the psu will shut down to prevent damage.there should be a combined value listed below the two 12v rails(like FSP saga II 400W/500W) which is the value to be consider.
