Will a corsair 520w handle a q6600, 2900xt and 4gb ram, two 7200.10 sata hdd's and one optical drive or should i stick to the 620w...
If i was running a mild overclock of 3Ghz on the q6600 and overclocked the 2900 with the two hdd's 4gb ram and one optical drive, and the system was at load would the 520w be enough?
Thanks for the help in advance. :bowdown:
Just had a look at the specs of the Corsair HX520, and I think it should be able to quite easily handle your pc spec.
But I would still reccommend the HX620 as it will give you more head room for future upgrading.
Either way both psu's are of very high quality. Its very important to buy good psu nowadays, other wise they might explode and take out all your components (this happened to me a couple of weeks ago) :(
^what shadowmaster said^ ... I'm running 4HDDs, SLI'd 8800 and 3.2clocked CPU off mine .. works a dream .. they're mighty fine PSU's
It will be more than enough.
i have a amd 6000 x2 and thats 125w tdp, so it's quite power hungry, and i am running on a 2900xt with 2 samsung hd's a dvd drive, 4 sticks of ddr2 at 2.1v and 1 big 200mm fan and 3 120mm fans.
Never had a problem.
