Hi,
Recently built my system and it worked fine for 7 days and then the liberty 500w died. However I RMA'ed and a new one is in the post.
It begs the question - why did it die and I was wondering if I pushed it to far. I thought It would be able to cope with my system and an overclocked CPU but I am not so sure now.
System Specs:
E6400 with Stock cooler
GA-965P-DS3 @F7 BIOS
GEIL 2X512MB PC2-6400 CAS3 (running at 2.0v)
1 x Sata HDD 1 x IDE 7200RPM HDD 1 x floppy
1 x DVD RW 1 x DVD-ROM
Coolermaster Mystique 632 case (2x 120mm fans)
3 x USB devices attached
Enermax Liberty 500w
X1950PRO
I did a trial overclocking to 3.2Ghz (didn't need to increase voltage), 4-4-4-12 800Mhz Ram. The system was stable but I wasn't happy with the CPU temperature so I returned it to stock until I get a better CPU cooler.
Will the liberty be able to cope with this system, including overclocking and running the CPU at 100% for hours (prime95)?
The power calculater says I need 444w but I aint too sure.
Anyway of telling how stressed the PSU is a 100% CPU load?
Any help would be appreciated.
