[masemame]

will Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500 W PSU handel/work for Radeon PSU Handel ASUS EAH4870 DK/HTDI/1GD5 Radeon HD 4870 Dark Knight 1GB GPU.
i think the GPU need 500w and about 32 amp on 12v rail.

It is their budget PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/ImageGallery.aspx?CurImage=17-171-031-S02&SCList=17-171-031-S01%2c17-171-031-S02%2c17-171-031-S03%2c17-171-031-S04%2c17-171-031-S05%2c17-171-031-S06%2c17-171-031-S07%2c17-171-031-S08%2c17-171-031-S09%2c17-171-031-S10&S7ImageFlag=2&Item=N82E16817171031&Depa=0&WaterMark=1&Description=COOLER%20MASTER%20eXtreme%20Power%20Plus%20RS-500-PCAR-A3-US%20500W%20ATX12V%20v2.3%20%20%20%20Power%20Supply
and it has 360 watts available for the +12 volts = 30 amps which is on the low side but will probably work although not recommended.

I use CM extreme power plus 600watt and it does a excellent job to power a system with 5850,q9550.4 gb ddr2 800mhz ram,dg43nb board,1 hdd,1 dvd rom.My system is rock stable from day 1.All stock.

IDK, he is sending me messages but I cannot answer.. It says "Sorry, you were put in ignore list by this user dipankar2007ind".

Not advised at all. If it was the RealPower or the SilentPower series then no problem. Extreme power is extremely bad.

If you are willing to change then Corsair VX550W is a good one.

thanks for replying all.
the thing is i already bought the PSU and i hope it will work for me.i dont have much in my pc just 80GB HDD, 2GB Ram, DVD RW and ASUS EAH/4870(ATI Radeon HD 4870) coming up.

i'll have the PSU in 10 days or so, i'll post the result if anyone is curious.
btw the previous PSU was 25A on 12v and it worked for 3 days only, its calld nPower.

i've just installed it and it works just fine for Radeon 4870!! im happy that i could run this awesome GPU with just a $40 PSU, coolmaster Rocks!

but now i have other problem witch is not connected with the PSU, the problem is that there are white lines all over the screen now and last time I used it with other no good PSU that worked only 3 days there was no line then. And now I think the last PSU must have caused some faulty on the GPU.
if u have the same problem or have a solution for this u can check out the forum here
