fastbond7 · Nov 14, 2013

I have an asus m5a97 r2.0 motherboard with amd 8320 fx series processor , 32 GB 1600MHZ corsair vengeance ram,ati radeon hd 7770 1 gb graphic card , avermedia hd tv tuner card , cooler master 120m sedion water cooling system,5 120m fans , 1 140m fan ,2TB WS Hard disk, 5 USB devices.
I am currently using Cooler Master 700watt thunder PSu . Is it sufficient?

This one is a decent price and should give you plenty of headroom for upgrades: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151106

Is the cooler master 700Wat thunder PSU sufficient?

IRONBATMAN · Nov 14, 2013

wow...

5 fans , water cooling , 32GB of RAM , and the HD 7770 ?

This system seems really unbalanced to me. It seems like you're trying to overclock the FX-8320 as much as possible without a good CPU cooler.

The max wattage of the Power supply is insufficient. There are other factors too , but to simplify things , just tell me the PSU's full model name.

Surely Cooler Master 700W thunder psu is more than enough as your Gpu is not that power hungry, but you cpu is just a bit. But even with fx 9XXX series cpu and a really power hungry gpu will be more than enough for your psu to handle.

Ghan_04 :

Perhaps before you suggest something from an online store that ships only to a particular country , you should ask where the OP lives and what his/ her budget is.

/)_- I keep missing out on important parts, didn't see the " Thunder " word. Back to sleep...

fastbond7 · Nov 14, 2013

IRONBATMAN>>> The PSU is Cooler Master Thunder 700 Watts PSU . The link is http://www.flipkart.com/cooler-master-thunder-700-watts-psu/p/itmdhhzgxv2hfz3g?pid=PSUDHHZHY5BMZXPT&ref=d534b7fe-c614-408e-b232-232f4d2657c0

IRONBATMAN · Nov 14, 2013

your PSU's total amperage on the 12v rail is 55 amps. That's good enough.

fastbond7 · Nov 14, 2013

And I dont intend to overclock the CPU but I do use the system almost 24 hrs a day.

fastbond7 · Nov 14, 2013

IRONBATMAN>>>One more thing the asus cpu power calculator shows 600 W minimum power supply for my system specs and the 700W Cooler Master Thunder psu has 85% efficiency , so it comes down to 595 Watt.

IRONBATMAN · Nov 14, 2013

85% efficiency doesn't mean i only uses 85% of it's stated max wattage output. It's how much power it draws from your wall socket. Your PSU is enough don't worry. But I feel find your system really strange...

fastbond7 · Nov 14, 2013

IRONBATMAN>>>May I know why you say the system is strange?

IRONBATMAN · Nov 14, 2013

You have 5 case fans , a water cooling system , and 32 GB of RAM. Shouldn't have you used your money to buy a better GPU ?

fastbond7 · Nov 14, 2013

I do intend to buy one..Pls suggest one.

chimera201 · Nov 14, 2013

Very weird system indeed.
I sometimes do rendering like running lightmass but i still have 8GB RAM

If Flipkart is eligible for the AMD Never Settle Forever bundle , then the HD 7870 would be better since it would be bundled with 2 free games.
