Good Lord! + PSU help.

Yeah, thank you Tom's foums and all the forum dudes for being so wonderful!
I've been in this Graphics section for 2 months already and you guys rock!
I made a post in my blog about how cool you guys are.

Thank you guys for constantly making my day!

PS: I know nothing about PSUs, so take a look at my PSU...

Is this good one?
Do I need to worry if I run this one with an 8800GS/GT or a 9600GT?

Okay, haha, I'll add this!

I like GPU section more than the other sections too

Thank You sir

thanx alot mate much appreciated also thanx for putting my name in that list

So u ar efrom Malaysia, cheers Neighbour

I love red. and grey. their cool too

You mentioned dagger and not me. I hate myself now

Finally I get some recognition.

Very understandable. I'm sure TGGA will let this one pass.

LOL

I didn't know I hung around the GPU section that much. People know what I do more than I do, freaky...

Thanks dude.

Just coz u cant LOLspeak

here is teh dikshunary

Hey, thanks for mentioning me too. I'd write more, but I just spent 5 minutes trying to get my stupid keyboard working and now I have to go to class

Nice blog entry. It's not an official geek appreciation day, but still very flattering to us "enthusiasts" of all ages, sexes and mental illnesses .

yep the best forum in the world IMO i never forget my "Happy new year Day" thread with tons of good and kind replies

I tried it, i resized to the resolution that this forums need but its still the same

BTW romulus,what GC are you using?fanboy of any?

Well I can't tell the brand because it's under the bracket up the top, but it does give details regarding the 12V amperage (32A), which is a good sign as poor quality units rarely list this. Assuming it is a quality unit, you could run an 8800GTX on that thing (but only one GTX).

Well it kinda depends on whether iCute made the PSU themselves or just rebadged it. If the PSU was made by Fortron Source (FSP) for example, then it's definitely good. Really you don't know until you push it if it's any good. It will definitely run anything that doesn't use alot of power though, such as the cards you mentioned, as long as it isn't already faulty.

That coolermaster provides alot less power than his current PSU. He'd be better off with this:

The individual 12V rails have low maximum currents, I'd take the FSP unit I linked above over the silverstone, even though it looks like a piece of cheap crap.

Hi rom,
The first unit you showed the guys will be fine for either of the cards you mention, the second one though has 10 less Amps on the +12 volt rail and i wouldnt want to trust it with a newer card.
Card power requirements can be a funny business, the firms that make/supply them like to give themselves a level of security when claiming requirements so they know people cant blame them if teh card goes down due to the power supply.
There are many sites around that list cards power needs, some are better than others. Always allow yourself some extra same as the firms do. Xbit labs http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/ power test most of the cards they review and i have found them to b equite accurate.
You said you wanted to learn so here are a couple of links for you.

This second on eis like a ready reconer for a rough guide only i dont know how accurate it is.
