awsome, I will buy from them then. Thanks
Thank you.. I have peiced together a kick ass liquid cooling package to complement it. I am quite excited.. now to play the waiting game for newegg to lower the Q6600 from 299 to 266..
and actually.. the Q6600 has a locked multiplyer of 9X.. I kinda want to go with a QX so its not locked.. i will decide for sure when I see lowered prices
yea, I already got the Antec TruPower Quattro 850W... Cant go wrong with 4 rails.. Only diffrence is I got if from a diffrent site for $166, From HERE
I wish I would have got that, for $66 more.
Well I no longer keep up with the most current over clocking and build your own system hardware because frankly I don't really care that much anymore. I care more about stability and functionality.
However, I can give you a testimonial about Antec. I have been building my own PCs since the mid-late 90s and I have always used Antec power supplies, and I have never had one go bad on me. That is easily 10 years of using Antec Power supplies. In fact I have a 10 year old celeron A 300 system in my closet that still boots right up into windows 98se. I never threw it a way, cuz I can be a pack rat sometimes. I need to take it down to surplus exchange and recycle it or donate it to a church or something.
Anyways, before I get side tracked. There are some things you should know about power supplies that you can research you make your decision better. Many many times no name or cheaper PSUs will advertise 750w for 99 dollars or whatever. What they are doing is sly advertising. You see sure it may pump out 750 watts at peak, with minimal load on it. However you start adding peripherals to it the wattage will drop, sometimes in half.
I only buy PSU that state they are a true wattage PSU, which antec are. Zalman I know are good ones as well because I have several friends that swear by them. Apparently Antec has lost a bit of it's quality some may argue over their previous models, but for me as long as they keep working for me flawlessly I am a customer.
Same goes for Asus motherboards, never had a problem with them either.
did u ever write books? ) u went really technical..
it's good tho. nice and comprehensive..
Nope no books, I do have a couple of articles published on some websites ...
... it reaches a certain point that people are just going by numbers and no longer by real world performance.
