[addison]

[damasvara]

It's obvious. I think you already know the answer. A little bit of a show-off, huh?

:lol:

BTW, what's the PSU brand?

 

[addison]

Power up 550watt.

@moto: that's a quad core if you haven't notice...

 

[addison]

Lol Motopsychojdn I have a quad core.... Made it this summer I had a 4850 but it touched southbridge heatsink and it died I just got the 5770 yesterday... I hated my 9500 gs.

 

[damasvara]

@OP: Not an 80+ and active PFC... A bit of a gambling there. Since there's no guarantee that the components used is of good quality. Even one of the reviewer said that it died after 3 weeks. R.I.P, little PSU... :lol:

 

[addison]

Dude this thing has worked for me for MONTHS! Some guy has a geforce 260 gtx and it working so....

 

[damasvara]

That's why I said it was a gamble. There has been legends (as if they're that old :lol: ), that PSUs died over and over on a system, only to notice that the owner has been using low quality PSU.

I'm not saying yours is one of them, but the past experience of the "victims" should be enough as proof. Reputation is earned, not advertized. But assuming you're not OC'ing, the burden towards the PSU should be moderate. Thus, keeps you safe for these past months. I just don't want to be one of those guys that will say: "See. I told you so." when it happens.

 

[addison]

Everyone has said it works fine.

 

[damasvara]

Everyone? It's on the very first page.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not insulting your rig or try to start a debate here, but personally for me, of all the parts in a PC, my main concern is the PSU. If a CPU is like the brain, then the PSU is the very heart of the system. Simple analogy, yet true.

A lot of posters here wept and cried because their dead PSU took the others down the grave with it. HDDs and GPUs are the most common parts in question.

It's not often, but I personally don't want that to happen to me. $50-70 as insurance for a $400-500 rig is fair enough for me. But hey, there's people with literally $10 (yes, that's not a typo. $10) PSUs lived to see the next day for months, even years. So it's a gamble. Question is: Are YOU a gambler yourself?

 

[addison]

MOSTLY everyone had NO problems with it. Dude it can't die I ran a 4850 on it for 4 weeks. Until the 4850 died.Now I have a 5770.

 

[Subidoo]

I would think you should be just fine, as long as you don't play on the Alliance side, Jp lol.

 

[addison]

I have a 17inch montor and for some reason can't use just it have to use my 22 inch can you help me. FOR THE HORDE!

 

[Subidoo]

You using the VGA or DVI Connection?

 

[addison]

VGA the montior is like from 2005-2006. From a older hp bundle worked with my 9500 gs not my ati 5770. It goes to 1240x1080 @ 60 hz and whenever I try to use just that 1 montior it won't work.

 

[kimyeang88]

your 5770 will able to max WoW at 1240x1080. However for 1680x1050, m not sure because my 5850 is runnign at 30 to 40 FPS.

 

[addison]

Well then it's your cpu get a quad core, at 1680 x1050 I get 60 fps and in org 20 ish. (I play on wowbeez) 60 fps all time in raids and such.

 

[Subidoo]

When i had got my new computer built about 3 weeks ago it wouldn't run my monitor with the VGA cable so i tried the DVI Cable and was surprised that it worked, so might just wanna see if you can try that first.

 

[addison]

It doesn't have a DVI. It's okay I love my HD monitor I want bulletstorm so bad! I can max out with no aa. but when I reduce shadows it plays better I might make a youtube vid to show off my rig.

 

[Subidoo]

This is my setup and i run wow on Ultra running at 60fps anywhere i've been so far.
