PLZ refer me to a PS that will run 8800GTS

INTELCRAZY · 02-07-2007, 10:04 PM

I am having so much trouble trying to find a power supply that will run a
8800GTS effectively. GRRRR, this is ridiculous, 26A required and I cannot find one on Newegg. I don't know, therefore I cannot Newegg. Ha

THANKS FOR REFERRALS

yeah but will it power 1 8800GTS, or even 2?

Give Opinion On What Power Supply you think is best. Must be over 450w, and feel free to give links or refferals.

LaGlaceMince · 02-08-2007, 04:04 AM

what are the other components of the computer? do you need power for future upgrades? because right now we can suggest anything between 450-1100+.

INTELCRAZY · 02-08-2007, 05:37 AM

I am putting in these parts:

Gigabyte DS3 Mobo
C2D E6600 CPU

Kingston 2Gb 667Mhz RAM
WD 250Gb HD 16mb Cache
2x Samsung DVD-Burners
PNY 8800GTS 640Mb

Vista Home Basic or Premium (not made up my mind)

MAYBE>Liquid Cooling System

I can't wait 'til this Summer, Now summer is really HOT, Lol. I would like to OC my E6600 to 2.8-3.0.

Hook me up with a refferal, THANKS

Im using it right now to power my 8800GTS and its doing just great, ive heard of people using it to power a GTX, but I dont think that it will run 2X GTS in SLI.

Straight from the ThermalTake website: Max. Load 21A (Peak Load: 25A)

Thats barely enough to run one for an overly extended period of time.

I have been running the GTS nonstop for over a month now off of that power supply with absolutely no problems, also I play fear, oblivion, and a few other games at max settings for hours at a time with no problems. I have heard of quite a few people running GTX's off of this power supply with no problems. I was told that it may have something to do with the 8800 using some power from the PCI-e slot (the main PS) and so it dosent require the full amperage from the thermaltake power supply. I do relise that SLI is out of the question.
