|
 |
Can anyone suggest a good power supply. Does it really really matter if a power supply is SLI certified and will it work with ATI Crossfire as well? I would like to use a good powers supply with the NVidia 8800GTS or ATI RAEDION 3870. Is there one brand that dominates over the others on the market? What should be looked at in a powers supply when purchasing one?

When it comes to computers, you get what you pay for. And theres always a few great company's.
Me personally, I won't buy any other PSU than Pc Power & Cooling (bought by OCZ sorta recently)
http://www.pcpower.com/index.html
And never think for a second that most PSU's that claim great wattage actually keep that wattage. Most are rated when their turned off, once they heat up they lose quite a bit of power. PC rates theres around 60C last I remembered.
They also come with a 5 year warranty.

Nobody mentioned Corsair. Am I right to assume that it is not as good as the other brands?

My 350W Enermax lasted for over seven years until i put it to rest. Right now i have one from Be quiet and one from Sharkoon.
@Stefan F: The Sharkoon one I got (480W it's an older model) has a good price performance ratio. It also got a good review from ct, don't know about their current line up though.

Fortron works great for me.
My previous ones, Enermax and Thermaltake, all blew up.
