HD 4850 on Corsair 450VX. Hey all, I'm new to this forum, so this is my first post :) I had a question about the sapphire HD4850. Does this card run on the Corsair CMPSU-450VX power supply? Or do i need another power supply? Thanks on advance, Surion....

PSU! At least try to buy a better namebrand psu, any generic psu might do but it's better to have confidence in your rig that it'd run when you need it. CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX 450W - 74.99 Or if you really want to go cheap: CORSAIR CMPSU-400CX 400W - 49.99...

brands i have seen. Ahh I see. Sounds good. You said earlier about how if I chose a different graphics card I would need a different PSU, would 450W be enough? As long as you dont exceed an HD 4850 that Corsair 450vx will work just fine, anything more than...

would this board be better than ASUS P5Q PRO? Thank you again, cannot do this without your advise! The Corsair 450VX will power the 4850 with no problem, and probably be fine with the GTX 260. It may have trouble with a 4890. The P5Q pro is a crossfire...

Which one would you recommend without changing my PSU? Imo, 300W is cutting it close. Upgrade PSU to a Corsair 450VX or better and then get a 4850. In any case, 4670 is probably going to be your limit with that PSU. but........ it doesnt come close to...

my suggestion of the AMD Opteron 1210 which is a good performer for the price. Bob Personally I think you would be better off with: [*] ATI 4850/4870 [*] Corsair 450VX / Antec 550W Earthwatts [*] Opteron 1210 [*]GIGABYTE GA-MA74GM-S2 AM2+/AM2 AMD 740G...

these days. Make sure it is covered with warranty. The coolermaster PSU is not that good.So i will suggest you a Corsair 450VX for your rig. And as mentioned above,ur CPuU will definitely bottleneck 4850. You may also add some more ram.2 GB is less...

when the PSU dies. Unless it's an Antec (EAxxx) PSU the PSUs that come with the case are cr@p. I recommend Corsair or PC Power & Cooling. If those are too expensive for you get a OCZ, Antec,etc. You can run fine on a Corsair 450VX: It's only $55 after MIR....

on a new board. I have a dumb PSU, i don't exactly know how many 12V rails it has. I'll have to get a Palit 9800GT 512 or a Palit 4850 512 and a new PSU thinking of Corsair 450VX. Anyway here's what my PSU says: Voltage Current...

if your overclock is high (i.e. 400+Mhz CPU speed increase). Also set this to "Disable" if you need to change RAM voltages, this is specially true for most high performance RAM like the Crucial Ballastix and Corsair XMS2, etc. If your RAM is higher than...
