Nvidia GeForce 8800GT / Rosewill500w psu

EndofAll · 05-16-2008, 03:48 AM

so am i safe to assume my cpu is okay? even if i were to run both th gpu and the new psu in it?

Hey EndofAll. I think what DwayneZ is saying is that the card requires a 6 pin connector while some psu's don't have that. The Rosewill does, but I don't know if yours does. Either way, the cards usually come with an adapter with two 4 pins that meet into a 6 pin connector. You should be safe.

The cpu would work fine. It will just hold the graphics card back a bit. I had a link somewhere that showed the difference in cpu's performance in games when pared with a 8800GTX. Quite a different card, but the same principal would apply.

EDIT: The supply has plenty of power and it looks to have a pci-e 6 pin connector. It also comes with that adapter.
Now let me find that link......

itronix thanks very much, and thank you dwaynez . think you can find that link again with processor performances again i'd really like to see it. so will my cpu temps be okay with the gpu and the psu???

so this is the new psu im getting instead of the rosewill

is it any better? will it work in my case?
also waiting for a reply to as if my cpu heat will be okay with the video card in there and the new psu

Your temps should be fine. If the case heats up too much and causes anything to heat up, you may have to throw in a case fan. That psu is fine. Better? I don't know, they look to be around the same in specs. I'll take a look at your case in a minute. I'll keep trying to find that benchmark. The one I'm looking for had Crysis as a benchmark, as I recall.

Edit: Well, I'm still having trouble finding that benchmark, but here is another:
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/c...2C1313%2C1283#

If your cpu (just estimating, as yours isn't listed) runs at around 83 fps, the 5400+ will bring you up to 93, which is a 10 frame difference in that game. Crysis will effect it differently, but you get the idea. Either way, you should be playing future games fine.

Ok.

This page shows this supply as a replacement for your pc. It's an atx supply. The supply that you have chosen is an atx supply. ATX= good job. That's what you need. If you are still nervous, grab the measurements off of newegg's page and measure the width of your case and see if they are different. I don't think you have anything to worry about though.

itronix you have msn or something?

Itronix · 05-16-2008, 05:31 AM

No, I don't. Sorry about that. I'm probably the only person left under 20 years of age who doesn't

. You're always welcome to send me a message, though. I'm going to be away at a camp ground for the weekend. I'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon. There is wi-fi there, but my not-so-great realtek 8185 in my laptop doesn't always pick it up

. I'll try to keep on this weekend, though, regardless. I enjoy fighting with the poor signal!

aww okay im on my dads laptop letting my dekstop cool down.

im way to freakin excited for tht card and the psu

EndofAll · 05-16-2008, 05:40 AM

what do you think? will it?

Itronix · 05-16-2008, 05:45 AM

Oh, yeah. I'm sure they'll still be there. If not, no biggie. I and our other forum friends will help you find others. They'll be there, though.
