The "jet engine" CM PSU's were only present in their eXtreme line. (faulty thermal sensors)

Their new "extreme power plus" PSU's dont have this problem.

I've powered an hd4870 and e8500 on a CM 550W extreme. Made lots of noise (bad thermal sensor), but worked perfectly fine, so you should be right with the 600W version.

At the end of the day, the 4870 is going to output 250-300W of power, depending on your system. The CM 460W would be able to power it, but if you are constantly using your system at peak, the PSU will contantly be under a lot of stress - which is something you dont want. Hence, getting the 600W version makes it easier for your system and ensures nothings gonna blow up.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you may get more responses if you spend the time and ask your questions in proper English (or the best you can do, since its likely not your native language)

Many of our forum members speak english as a second language, and with your bad English they may have no idea what you're trying to say, and therefore be unable to help you.
