40000000000w power supply is no good if its unstable. I use a 465w Enermax who I still think are the best and if we have a quick power blip the whole house can reset itself and my PC still carries on

Surely you're looking at a flux capacitor for those power levels... or a buttered cat array.Originally posted by dirtydog40000000000w power supply is no good if its unstable.

Power supplies are fickle things. Most cheapy ones pretty much specify their 'maximum' rating, and are generally only good for a fair bit less.
Having said that, I've seen a few reviews, and even a PC loaded up with all the latest bits, multiple hard drives, multiple mega graphics etc only draw about 350-400W. But to do that safely and efficiently you need a quality (i.e. expensive) power supply rated at 550W or more.
Having said that if you're fitting a Radeon 9550, then your not going to be stretching a cheapish 400W power supply, and you'll have plenty of room for expansion.
Just gotta hope that the power supply going didn't take the motherboard with it.

Cheers all, Slugsie, the PC is fine, its running now with a borrowed power supply, so we just need to get a new one and give this one back. Just wanted to find out 'Power Supply Tech' from the experts.Originally posted by SlugsieHaving said that if you're fitting a Radeon 9550, then your not going to be stretching a cheapish 400W power supply, and you'll have plenty of room for expansion.

(and relief that all the 4x4toys accounts, and lots of pics on Linda's PC are safe, and to remember to back things up more often!!!
