I built a BEAST PC and I need your opinion

[Blitzen]

When I grow up, I wanna be just like you Blizten.

I posted information to help and it gets flamed by another idiot such as yourself.
Try to shut up if you have nothing to say except ****** remarks.

When i was growing up, i tried my hardest NOT to be like you.
It worked im glad to say.


(Sits back and waits for the admins again...........bet it will just be me that gets blasted again though).

Not a bad aspiration to have!

LOL, WHERE IS THE $*&* MACHINE? I JUST WANT TO SEE THE PICTURES AND THE BENCHMARKS

I wasn't flaming you about the informational content of your post - I had no objections to that. It was this bit that makes me think you are one of the very people you try your "hardest NOT to be":

I am well aware of how a PSU works and what makes a good one thanks

I will give you an example as you got a bit lost.

And from your avatar: "Argumentative?? Me??"

I find a lot of your posts have a rather smug and "I'm better than you" air to them, which is why I don't like you much. Quite simple really.

That's why I like him, at least you know he's honest.. and always up for a reasoned debate of course

I find it has a rather contrived air to it, frankly. As if being deliberately argumentative and scathing is "cool".

*shrug*

fraz and blitzen we dont care about your house hold arguments, keep them at home, or durign agrey sex, whatever you like, this a internet forum not a family affair centre, so keep this in mind.


back to thread, i wana see some pictures and benchmarks ect..

I feel the same, sort of like having a Victor Meldrew character around, but you know, but at least he's our Victor Meldrew and I love him for it.

You guys are all gay; I'm off to pump iron and drink chicken.

The fact is, regardless of whether its 'rated' as having good 12V rails, it doesnt neccessarily mean it can deliver that performance.

The way to determine TRUE amperage is to take the continous delivered wattage NOT the rated wattage (which is the peak maximum).
Divide is by 12.
This equals the TRUE 12V amperage being delivered.

I will give you an example as you got a bit lost.

Enermax Liberty 500W. - Good example as i have it on the shelf next to me.
Rated amperage - 500W
TRUE continuous amperage - 488W (12V Rail)

So...if it really was 500W then it would be:
500W/12V = 41.66W
41.66V / 2 (12V Rails) = 20.83A per rail

Now/........the TRUE amperage is:
488W/12V = 40.66
40.66V / 2 (12V Rails) = 20.33A

Those figures are pretty damn close to each other but 'less interested' PSU manufacturers massage these numbers. THe ONLY number that cannot be hidden is the TRUE amperage figure and this is where many fall down.

No idea of the specs of a Enermax Liberty 500W but is it really rated at 488W on the 12V rails, I know the power rating of a PSU should be taken with a pinch of salt, but this seems a bit high to me?

My humble 430 PSU is rated at 14A and 15A on the two 12v rails giving a (14x12=168w plus 15x12=180w) 348w. Not that I'd run it at 100% but at least there is a little room to supply at bit of power down the other lower voltage rails before the general power rating of the PSU is passed (no matter how inaccurate that rating might be).
