driftinggardener18 said:Thanks, Wozniak! I haven't been in this scene for a few years, so don't mind me asking—is this power supply actually proven? How reliable is it?

Proven and reliable.

For those who can follow English:

Roughly 99% of the power supply reviews online are...just poorly executed.👎

Take this, for example:

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/artic...re-Wrong/410/1

After reading through it, I think there’s some actual logic to what they're saying..👍

Most of these reviews don't use a lab setup. It's a joke. They don't even provide links to facilities that actually have the right equipment.🙂.

Then go with a 5770 or something more recent:

cosmicstag52, what monitor are you running?

If you're planning on gaming, what resolution are we talking about?

Here are two useful sites regarding power supplies:

http://www.plugloadsolutions.com/80P...rSupplies.aspx
http://www.johnnylucky.org/power-sup...certified.html

EDIT: If you have trouble opening the first link, just go to www.plugloadsolutions.com and select the 80+ power supply section from the menu.

Regarding the platinum series, these two (EVGA and Delta Electronics) are likely the best options currently available under 600W, at least until the next two releases from Seasonic and EVGA are tested (though those will be 860W or higher, according to the second link above):

http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...print&reid=221

And one silent fanless model from the platinum series:

http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...Story&reid=244

EDIT: If the links aren't working, you can find the JohnnyGuru reviews for these specific units via Google:

Delta Electronics Lazer Platinum 550W
EVGA Golden King 550W

The silent option:

Seasonic Prime Fanless 500W

Based on this data, even the Seasonic X series and the current EVGA lineup are probably lower tier.

By the way, EVGA already has 11 units in the 80+ platinum series (according to the first link).

I doubt these specific EVGA and Delta Electronics models will ever hit the US market, though Seasonic and EVGA might.

Hmm... the link provided is from February. Back then—and for several months after—the entire CX series was labeled a "low quality" product line, which explains why the feedback on that specific link was mostly negative.

That said, this appears to be a newer model featuring an 80+ certification. We might have been overly critical of this series for longer than necessary. That’s common, though; once a collective opinion forms, people tend to ignore the possibility that the hardware actually improved in the meantime.🙂

So, haven't they manufactured those AGP to PCIe adapters yet? 😵

Following Casey Long2's method, here are my warm recommendations 😂 just make sure to save me a front-row seat so I don't miss a thing (and grab some popcorn)

The point is, they're making all sorts of ridiculous DVI to HDMI cables that end up being used in clubs for people with hearing impairments.

UVD 2 - a cheaper option for my buddy andola

shadowviper12 said:That sounds pretty interesting too... Provided you're certain it can handle 1080p
without any stuttering at all?

It handles 1080p just fine. Here is the official manufacturer's overview:

shadowviper12 said:Thanks a lot!! I see there are plenty of GeForce 8600 GT cards on eBay for about $100 so I'll probably
just go that route....

For the GPU, this might be an option too—full UVD support plus a 2-year warranty:

Benjamin King2 said:Issus has a joke of a website. It’s basically a bargain bin shop. 🤣 They messed up the web certificate; they got confused and grabbed someone else's. 😬

It’s probably just some group of freshly unemployed web designers who went on a heavy dose of negativity with Luke, got themselves all worked up with "new ideas," and decided to take action.

The difference sits around 10-20% (in DX10):

Plus, this Xtreme version comes with better cooling, so at this price point, I wouldn't touch the HD 5770.

If you're planning on picking up an HD 5830, check this shop out:

Patrick Garcia4 said:I just don't know where you're going to find two identical 6850s around here.
I was looking to pick up two MSI Twin Frozr 3 GTX 560s, but they're nowhere to be found. I checked other manufacturers like Asus too, but nothing.😢

Here, two Sapphire HD 6850s:

Or two GTX 560 Twin Frozr 2s:

You can pick up an OCZ PSU Fatal1ty 550W on MagazinRS. It's SLI-Ready, features Active PFC, provides 12V/50A, and is modular for $159.

ah FFS just order it already. Maybe try Protis. And honestly, their website updates are hit or miss at best.
