Title: [WTB] PSU Crashed! Need newegg giftcard or NEW PSU.
Post by: wildboy211 on September 01, 2011, 04:16:08 AM
My 480 Watt PSU fried...i need to get one ASAP so i can get back to mining. I need at least 600 Watt, 20+4, 4 SATA, and 2 x 6-pin PCIE or i need a Newegg giftcard worth at least $55 that so i can buy this:

Ive just completed 2 trades today (a purchase, and a loan), plus i have a heatware and bitcoin-otc. The faster i can get this, the faster i can get back to mining. Im trying to do something within the hour because im suppose to be going to sleep right now for work, but im staying up another hour.
I know spendbitcoins will do it, but like i said, im trying to do it tonight. Oh, the most important, i have the bitcoins available. PLEASE HELP!!!

Please, PLEASE choose a different power supply. That thing is a TERRIBLE power supply. Your rig will fail again.

Go with the corsair builder series at the very least, or heck, I bet Rosewill would be better than that apevia. Preferably, you'd go with Seasonic X, but that's prob overkill.

I can't find that exact psu anywhere however the currently avilable logisys psu's are only rated for 16a(192w) on the 12v line i can't imagine that one is too different if you have a quad core with a moderate ammount of load on it as well as a 5830 mining they're going to fight over that 12 volt rail, tons of amperage on the 3.3 and 5v rails though  28a(92.4w) on the 3.3v and 36a(180w) on the 5v. they're not lieing about it being a 480w psu it's just designed for older systems where things were more dependent on the 3.3v and 5v rails. unless there's one i can't see that system only has a single pcie slot you'd be fine with a psu like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182044
two seperate 12v rails with 15a and 16a respectivly neither the cpu or the gpu will be power hungry



Why didn't you at least take My advice in the rosewill

Damn, yes, it is a very bad idea to go with cheap quality PSU's.

If you want, you can deny the PSU package and have it sent back.

This here is a good quality unit for the price.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182200

In the long run, it will be worth to deny the package once it arrives. This way you don't get charged for for sending it back. Get reimbursed, pick a better quality psu.

jonnyguru creates great extensive PSU reviews/tests and down right tells you the truth about the PSU he reviews.

You can go cheap with any component with the exception of the PSU..
