A8N32-SLI Deluxe power supply
My current plans are to put together this mobo with an AMD Athlon 64 X2
4800+. I purchased an Antec case with a 400W power supply. Is this power supply sufficient or will I run into problems? |

Depends more on what type of Video card, and if SLI?

Download the manual ... e.g. page 2-24 of the my a8n-sli manual gives
some sample configurations and power requirements. If you're going SLI, maybe browse through here http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone2_build.html . I planned for sli (have 1 bfg7800gtx, 4 drives, 4 DDR400) so went with the Seasonic 600W (atx12V V2.0) ... has the power/pcie connectors ... very nice supply :-) |

A8N32-SLI Deluxe power supply
I was able to locate the section in the manual. It suggest a PS of 500W or
more for a "fully configured system". I am using an MSI NX6600-TD256E card and only this one card so I think that means no SLI. That being the case, will I run into any performance or other problems with a 400W PS? I am not a gamer if that matters. If you say it will be a problem, what is the average cost to get a 600W PS? Thanks a lot! "kirbalo" wrote in message . .. Depends more on what type of Video card, and if SLI? "~~~AAA~~~" wrote in message ...

You may get by with the 400W supply ... depends on peripherals (load)
and the practical such as does it have sufficient connectors for all your disks etc.? I went with the 600W Seasonic because I am looking at powering 2 7800s down the road ... and because it was in stock :-). OT: You know, you don't seem to need the features of that SLI Deluxe (although I guess it's a done deal now) ... why not say the A8N-E? |

A8N32-SLI Deluxe power supply
Hi. Yeah, I figured I wouldn't need a board with all those bells and
whistles but money was not too much of a consideration so I wanted to get a board that would have most, if not all, of what I wanted. I looked in PC World and saw that this board was rated very high. Actually, it is not really a done deal since I am building two of these computers and have only received one board to date, in addition to the two 4800+ CPUs. If I wanted, I guess I could eBay the board I got and cancel the other. Then go and get two others that are sufficient, but not overkill. Do you know of a board that will give me all that I need, taking into consideration that I am not a gamer, but would like a state of the art board. What I don't want to have happen is to get a board and then one year from now realize that I should have gotten a better one with some certain feature(s) that I am lacking. Thanks a lot for your help and if you can point me in a direction I would appreciate it. As you can see, I am not too knowledgeable about these topics but would like to have a nice setup.

Why not the A8N-SLI Deluxe.
You will get more SATAconnectors, so that you can replace all your IDE devices later on with SATA. "~~~AAA~~~" a écrit dans le message de news: ... Hi.

A8N32-SLI Deluxe power supply
Well, first you need to figure out "all that you need". I went with the
A8N-SLI because first I wanted to upgrade my graphics (from agp) to the 7800gtx (which is pcie) with room for a future upgrade to SLI (an additional 7800gtx) and that's also why the 600W Seasonic. My existing disks are IDE which I'm ok with bandwidth wise because my PC use is not quite high end gaming (1/2 life, quake 4, ... ) browsing, ripping/playing DVDs ... the A8N supports 4 IDE. I had 4 DDR400 RAMs (512MB) ... the A8N-SLI supports 4 and runs 4 way interleave so that worked out well. And the AMD 4000+ I decided on is very adequate performance for me ... i.e., don't need a dual core because I'm mostly only doing one thing at a time. And I still don't have a case ... all the parts are stacked up here on my desk. I will say one thing ... I am very impressed with the obvious quality of the A8N-SLI and the AMD 4000+ (inc heatsink and fan). I've been an Intel buyer the past 2 PCs because the old AMD stuff was obviously clocked to the max, hot, noisy. My current system is clocked at 220 with the HyperTransport at stock x5 (which gives 1.1G) and the DDR400 RAM is at a safe 3,3,3,8 ... and the current temp is 28C while browsing and will go up to 41-43C at 100% cpu usage. So ... I thought about my requirements, did a lot of browsing and relearning about AMD ... and I'm quite satisfied with my current system. |
