I'm looking for a PSU for about $60
Requirements
-SLI ready
-4-pin CPU power conector
-20+4 pin or 24pin main mobo conector
-blue LED on it somewhere would be nice

Any recomendations? Thanks in advance

How many watts are you looking for?

It would help to know what you want to power. Is it a replacement for the Rosewill in your sig? Which cards do you intend to run in SLI?

the_painter · 12-28-2006, 11:54 PM

yes it is a replacement for my rosewill
I have a 7600gt now but I plan to get another to run SLI
edit---plus I want a PSU that will be able to power future parts and not one that can barely power todays stuff(does that make sense??)

Wha is wrong with your Rosewill? I would suggest a Rosewill RT550 but...if there is something wrong with your current one... Because the RT550 has a blue LED and meets all those needs... Why are u upgrading?

On another note I wouldn't run 7600GT SLI. There's no point as you would be better off selling your 7600GT and buying a newer card. The 7900GS would be almost as good as 2x7600GT or the 7950GT would be better. Just a thought. BUT if you are looking to SLI my roommate has a 7600GT and I could ask him if he wants to sell it. Make an offer.

If this is in regards to this:
600w Psu Fs

the CPU power connector isn't compatable with my mobo.

The 4+4 pin connector should break in two, to give you compatibility with either a 4-pin CPU connector or an 8-pin CPU connector.

Myself i really wouldn't choose rosewill. I've had 2 of those and BOTH of them failed on me. I recommend enermax, forton, or pc and power cooling. If those are out of your price range antec isn't bad quality either. You have to remember.... the PSU powers your whole system. If something happens to that or it blow there a high chance of blowing something else and i wouldn't ever take that chance again. Maybe i just got unlucky and got 2 bad psu's but who knows....

hehe, no problems. I've deleted your thread in Equipment For Sale, assuming you want to keep the PSU. If you'd like me to restore the thread, just say.

restore? does that mean delete? if so, yes thanks
