Psu For Amd 3000+

[mr. nails]

the psu is the heart of ur rig. if ur gonna spend money on something good for ur rig a psu should be it. make sure to get something good!

the only difference between an intel approved power suply and any other power supply is that the intel ones have an extra connector with 4 pins for extra motherboard power. All intel boards, and some amd boards, need this plug.
if you have this plug but don't need it it doesn't affect anything.

300watt sucks, 400+ is better.

why not get a 550 W PSU........ they are around for only $20!!!!*



































*im being sacastic........ its not the amount of wattage shown, the quality of it is much more important......

According to that, a top of the line pc w/ all the nice fans and lights would only need a 575 w power supply.

I only need 275w

Why does this strike you as odd?

Many so-called 500w PSUs are incapable of providing continuous and stable 275w.

Those "500w" are only available in the millisecond before all the caps explode and the traces melt.

I did that thing once and i need like 280watts.
