Hello everyone,
Recently I got a new motherboard and new graphic card for my system so the current configuration is as follow:
Core 2 Quad Q6600 (stock)
Asus Maximus formula (x38)
ATI Radeon 4870x2
4xDDR2 2GB
4xSATA Hard drive
The problem I have at the moment is that on the manual of the board is referred that the board should only be used with a 8pin cpu 12V connector but the PSU only as a 4pin connector.
Do I need to upgrade the PSU because of this? And if yes, I am looking to something in the range of 850W specially because selling the 4870x2 and install 2x6950 is on my plans, which PSU should I pick I have been looking into the BeQuiet P9 but could not find any decent review of this PSU.
