Is My PSU Sufficient?

rawad · Mar 30, 2011

i was checkin the PSU i have in the companies website to make sure that i have a decent psu its a thermaltake litepower 700w couldnt find it at thermaltake.com ... searched again then found it at thermaltake.au
http://www.thermaltake.com.au/Products/PowerSupply/W0356/Litepower700W.aspx
it says 70% efficiency
is it safe to use it ? since im planning on crossfire soon or should i replace it with a better psu?

personally, I'd want atleast 80+ efficiency.

Ive got an Antec in my old PC, Corsair in my Bros PC and a Silverstone in my current PC, all working fine, all decent prices.

I have a TT ToughPower 750 Modular and it is rock solid.
Not sure about the LightPower models. The specs look okay, but if you are going to draw over 50% of its rating the 70% efficiency is going to hurt.

My brother had one of them TT ToughPower 750 and well lets just say it died . It got hit by lightning and his entire computer went up in smoke . But for the most part when it was up and running it worked great .

If your System Specs is correct, 700w is more than enough for you.

Yeah it would be fine but I question the 70% efficiency ratting , I do not like that 80+ is far better .
