Hi all,
I've been debating on which PSU to purchase, to replace my 400W I have atm. I can't run any games with my 8800GT and I believe its the PSU's fault, so I might as well get rid of the old thing and buy a new one.
I've had my eye on a few PSU's, but I've heard a lot about the 12v rail needing at least 24 amps on it. All the PSU's I've looked at have several 12v rails with <21 amps on each, would this do? I've heard it doesn't matter how many 12v rails you have, its how many amps are on the single rail that counts...
I've been looking at the Cooler Master Real Power 550W, which has three 12v rails with 18A, 20A and 10A on them at peak.
My system is:
Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz (soon to be Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz)
Windows XP Home
Kingston DDR2 1GB
Asus EN8800GT
Gigabyte P31-DS3L
400W PSU
