PSU oppinions?

Naked · 09-19-2005, 04:10 AM

I'm building a new computer and need an oppinion on this PSU for my setup.
The PSU that I am strongly considering is the Cooler Master Real Power 450w
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817171001

Take a look at my components:

Skyhawk Mid Tower Case w/ 3 Fans 1x front 2x back
ASUS P4P800SE mobo
Intel P4 3.2e Prescott CPU (will oc)
Thermalright XP-90 HSF
1 GB Corsair PC3200 DDR SDRAM
nVidia Geforce 6800GT 256MB DDR AGP
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX (USB)
Seagate 160GB SATA 7200 RPM 8MB cache HDD
2 DVD Drives

Thanks.

At 12V1@12 + 12V2@10 it's not the best twin-rail PSU out there but it's certainly decent. Something like this costs less and has better rails so it's something worth considering

PSU 101.

well, i actually have a chance to get the cooler master new from a friend for $40 is the xclio still worth considering? I am aware that the 12v rails are weaker on the cooler master but are we talking a difference between day and night?
