I just found my Bro's Power Supply for his computer... http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php...O0fBA8hE0lppAbqmwPPu2807nqu1JH930ao6wDRvGdOeU It lasted a year and a half... It failed but didn't ake any stuff... Read my other thread to see problems with his computer... It died after 1 year and a haf and it's cheaper than mine... How is it possible that the computer still running with all those lights and without anything burning awhile it failed? It didn't take the stuff with it, it turns on but im guessing it's probably some wire failed...
As far as your Bro's power supply it was cheap crap plain and simple. 1.5 years is a terrible lifetime and he didn't lose anything because he was lucky. Power supplies are super important. My Seasonic built Corsair 620W has been running for 2 and 1/2 years now on everything from dual cores to my current overclocked quad core with 2 video cards. And for 620W it was $150. And the video card yeah it will work. As long as the number is the same you are good to go. Getting an overclocked one won't help your speed though because they will both run the same as the slowest card in the pair.
How many watts would i need to run my computer with i7 950 overclocked over 4GHz, 2 video card, 1 HDD, Case Fans, and CD Drive? Im probably be getting a 600Watts or so, dont know how much my computer ganna be using... I found a 600 Watts but do you think it ganna work on my computer at full load of everything? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Corsair...38&ci_sku=1073679&ref=39&CJPID=3087823&loc=01 I also found a 700Watts http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Corsair...38&ci_sku=1073697&ref=39&CJPID=3087823&loc=01 Which one you recommend? ill be getting one by few months or so because i needa save money, and it wouldn't die in the mean time....
Also, do you guys Guarantee that my power supply would last a year from now at least when i overclocked my CPU to 4.1GHz+???
This one is your best choice. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Corsair...3327186&skuId=2193287&st=Corsair TX&cp=1&lp=2 Your current power supply will fail before a year. The one I linked to should ideally last forever though.
I just recently found a super great PSU but would it last and work with computer... Would it be enough to power my computer and last atleast 5 years? http://www.pcrush.com/product/Power...V-and-EPS12V-Power-Supply-85-650-W?refid=1643 Also i found a lot from http://www.pricewatch.com/search?q=xfx&start=0&cn=Power+Supply+for+Case
Ill think about it and ganna buy it by the next 6 month or so because imma use this PSU as useful as possible...
Yeah once you have a good PSU the rest is simple. A quality PSU is the most important part of the whole computer. Good luck
