I Have a serious problem with the Power Supply - Page 2

GoLLiat · 2003-03-05, 21:19

My Videocard is an AGP 4x ATI Radeon 9600 PRO, so i don't think that was the problem. My new PSU is still not here.. :(

Not all 400w or 300w or whatever watt PSU are made equal. 400w brandless is nothing like a 400w well know branded. Yes they do cost more but then so does your RDRAM system :) They are a GOOD investment and last a long time. Its worth paying more for.

I recommend something along the line of a 400-450w well know branded PSU for the system you have.

After solving the PSU dying issue. I recommend you to try updating the BIOS. Early bioses with samsung pc1066 are known to have problems. Also checking the CPU temp at which prime fails. Make sure all your cards are plugged in CORRECTLY and there are no shorting of the motherboard.

Thank you the advice, my system is working properly with the new, quality PSU (Antec True550) :-)))
Now, i have to find something better cooling-system for my CPU, beacuse the Volcano Fan is too loud, and it's not keep my CPU cool enough, when i overclock my system...

4 options I'd recommend for cool with low noise.

Alpha 8045
Thermaltake SLK800 or SLK900
Swiftech 462

Use a low-speed 80mm (or 92 on the 900) fan on any of these, should handle a fair amount of overclocking with low noise.

I run an 8045 on my #1 machine (ABit KT7A, reads temps from termistors), overclocking a Athlon XP1800+ to 1633 (seems to be FSB limited) - and never see much more than 60C *with 38C+ outside air* - I don't have Air Conditioning. I *do use a Delta FFB fan on my setup - cooling is MUCH more important to me than noise, given the envoronment my machines have to live through.

The SLK900 would do well with a low rpm fan even, quietness and overclockability, sweet! I got my XP 2800+ to 2.78Ghz with 1.9v and still its quiet and load temps hit only 58C max on an Abit NFS-7 board rev 1.2.
