You'll want 22-25a on the 12v rail at least. Try this one

Abit IS7 - 2.8C @ 3.4 - Mushkin PC4000 (2 X 512) - Sapphire 9800Pro - TT 420 watt Pure Power
Samsung 120gb ATA-100 - Maxtor 40gb ATA - 100
Sony DRU-510A - THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!

Kissing 2 large!

I fully agree with TheRod. The MSI mobo K8N Neo2 Platinum with is a superior model than the mobo from Asus. However, I checked the MSI site and it says the chipset is nForce3 Ultra.

I then checked the nVidia site and there too only nForce3 Ultra (so what happened to the nForce3 250Gb?? - I know it exists), is this the new name for the old chipset?

Thanks.

Okay, got the confusion cleared some. The AMD FX-53 is either a socket 940 of 939, right. The MSI K8N Platinum and K8N Neo-FSR has the nforce3 250gb chipset, but is a socket 754 motherboard (not for the AMD FX-53 but for AMD 64, socket 754). http://www.msi.com.tw/program/prod [...] hp?UID=572


Now the socket 939 motherboard (for AMD FX-53) from MSI with the nvidia chipset is called K8N Neo2 Platinum, but the chipset is the nvidia Nforce3 Ultra and not the nforce3 250Gb.

Thanks.
