I've heard decent things about Sunbeam PSUs. Newegg has a listing for a 680W PSU for about 40 bucks. Good deal, or should I look for something better?

EDIT2:
I think I'll go for the Corsair 650W. I'm running a Corsair 850W in my main rig, and have had no problems. I'll stick with Corsair.

the 650w is also made by seasonic me tinks

Would anyone be interested in a EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 896Mb for about 75-80 bucks? I'm getting a deal on a pair, and don't think I need both. Its a solid 8-9k PPD.

Sigh...made the same mistake again. Saw scores for the 460. Oc'ed, the 260 would give about 9k PPD.

Just get urself a 460 so you can stop mixing them up

Guys I've had issues with getting virsus of late shutting me down....No fault of F@h, and one of my cards is dirty cause it's started to lock up folding.

Too broke to get cans of air to clean it out atm. I think I will pick up after the new years, and maybe something I'm working on........

Just a status update....

You will only be able to use 3 x 6+2 pin for GPUs and thats with one molex connector on the 650 W model. That means that 460 SLI is out of the question.

You're talking about the Corsair, right? Why can't I use 4 x 6+2 connectors, using molex adapters (i have a few lying around). Considering this is quite a barebones rig, it should handle two 460s

Found this as a feedback on Newegg

Pros: More stable than the rock of gebraltar. It's a 650w PSU that can actually push 650w reliably and consistently. It easily handles my Phenom II/GTX 460 SLI build. If you need a new PSU, and you have a moderately high-end build, especially with one GPU, there's no reason not to get this one.

Cons: Only 2 PCIe cables, so I have to use adapters to fill the second 6-pin conector on each 460. Fortunately, it has a single 12v rail, so molex connectors draw from the same source as PCIe.

Sorry about that man

Possibly you could disassemble the cooler and blow it out with air from your mouth?

You could, but I'm running a 450 and a 460 0n a TX650 and thats with 11.82 V on the 12 V rail. I don't think that you want to go any lower then that.

Honestly, I'd either just get a mobo tray (~$30 from Performance-PCs) or a full case, such as the Antec 300. That doesn't look very sturdy IMO

Impressive! :respect:

xbonez · Dec 13, 2010

Don't want a full chassis since I'm going to have this on my desk, and I don't want a tower up on my desk. As for motherboard tray, I could look into it, but I'd need to get some soldering action so i can turn the rig on/off without having to short the power pins everytime

(FIH) The Don · Dec 13, 2010

i kinda like that bench wannabee tray

gonna look into it more, would only require a few aluminium plates and cutting a bit of holes

You can get a power switch for just a couple bucks at most online PC shops

True. It looks slick though, and has only perfect reviews at Amazon. Everyone says it looks sturdy, and I like the acrylic finish. I kinda see what you're saying though. It looks like it might be prone to tipping over once loaded. I'll give it a shot, and if I don't like it, I can always return it to Amazon stating its unstable so I don't have to pay for shipping or restocking.

(FIH) The Don · Dec 13, 2010

if you load the thing with mb, gpu's, psu, hd and so on it wont move

Thats what I'm hoping.

So, once I get the E7400, is it recommended that I use the SMP client, or two instances of the console client?

theonedub · Dec 13, 2010

xbonez · Dec 13, 2010

I read somewhere that older dual cores are better off with two instances of the console client unless OC'ed heavily. I don't pay a lot of attention to Intel processors, so I wasn't sure whicch one would suit the E7400. But I do now!

So now we can expect higher numbers

with secondary rigs being turned back on? Good rig you have there.

Just checked one of my rigs - internet connected for 42 days. Pretty good since it was a new build running +4 GHz.

xbonez · Dec 13, 2010

This past week, I bought 2 GTX 470s, and am looking to buy another one because I'm getting a great deal. Now, I don't really need 3 of them, nor can I afford it, so I'll be getting rid of one. But first pick goes to folders. Special deal for you guys.

An ASUS GTX 470 bought on 30th November for $220. It now retails for $270. I'll sell for what I got and throw in free priority shipping.
It is OC'ed to Core 770Mhz, Memory 1700Mhz and runs stable. Folds for 12-16hours every day and gives me about 14.7k PPD.

Let me know if anyone's interested.

The card in action:

mstenholm · Dec 13, 2010

I do need a good room heater since my own are poor in the regard at 42 and 45 C with an OC and on stock coolers. I know that you don't ship over sea but I have an even worse condition in my work shop but that takes a OC'ed pair of 480 to fix that. Ice is growing from my CPU cooler as I sit here

. No seriously I need to get some more HW, I'm to cheap to turn on the ordinary electrical heaters. :laugh:
