P.S.U for Intel i5 2500k + Z68 Motherboard

[developeraslam]

I'm planning to buy new P.S.U, as per my little knowledge

i must take care of how many pins required in P.S.U cable as per motherboard.

i will be using intel i5 2500k with compatible p67 or z68 motherboard.

please suggest how to check for compatible P.S.U and type of P.S.U cable ( No. of pins) required.

Are you going to sli or crossfire? I do not understand what you mean about pins. If you are going to crossfire and sli then you need at least an 850 watt power supply. If not I think that a 400 or 500 watt would be fine. I would recommend that you get a modular power supply because they are easier to connect cables when you are building the Computer.

What is the diff between a nomal P.S.U and a modular power supply?

and i will not be using SLI or crossfire.

I was asking about P.S.U cable pins because P.S.U cable comes with different no. of pins available on number. so i just want to confirm how can i check which P.S.U do i need for my new Intel i5 2500k + Z68 Motherboard.

if possible please suggest any Good P.S.U with at least 500w and available in india, New Delhi.

One more Thing i want to know that i read somewhere that even if some P.S.U claim to provide 600w but actually they are not providing 600w, there is very imp. role of heat.

It provide 600w but just for few seconds ONLY.

so how can i judge which one is Providing correct and fixed Watt as mentioned at the time of purchase???????????

Thanks

Top brands are International. They include Corsair, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, Antec, XFX, Silverstone and Enermax. Stick with these brands and you should have no problems. Any modern power supply by these companies will have suitable connectors for your 2500K/Z68 build.

It is not a good idea but yes it is possible. It can be dangerous if you do it wrong.

Why ? it's very inefficient energy wise and could be troublesome.
I wouldn't do it personally.
Just buy the very good energy efficient unit i linked earlier.

if you choose the P67 you will have use an addon graphics card
-H67 = Integrated Graphics AND* / OR addon graphics card
-P67 = only addon graphics card
-Z68 = Integrated Graphics AND* / OR addon graphics card

* the ANDs require LucidLogicx Virtu software
