ZBomber Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 According to Sithy and some of the fellas, my power supply is dead. Uh, yeh.... they said I should get a 500 watt one. I don't wanna dish out a ton of money and end up not needing it. What would be a good size one to get? Could I get lower than 500 and still end up with one that'll last awhile? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 50 dollars for 500 watts. It's a great buy. You'll need that much juice in the future anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 Is that the maximum? And, I don't game much, so I dunno if that has to do with the outcome. It died trying to load up JA :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 they make 700's but 450 - 500 is pretty much what you'll be needing now for parts. Nothing to do with gaming. 450W Power Supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiE23 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 nah, get 480w, cause thats what the big 6800s take, if you ever want to get one some day. TiE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 POWMAX's aren't that great, they die out really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 Well, for the record, it may not be just the power supply (which is 350 watts). It seems one of the heatsinkers fell out of place. Hope we don't need to get a new motherbaord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 o_O How'd the heatsink fall out of place? Did you not secure it properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I've had to replace my power supply at least 4 or 5 times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I told you on MSN, the motherboard we bought was pre-assembled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
