Is corsair 450W VX enough for this or should i go for 550VX or 520HX instead? Cant decide >_> I don't want to mess things up like fry my new psu if it can't take the card, and which one of this 2 is better, 520HX or 550VX?
the 4870 needs 2 6 pin connectors so the 550vx would be the better choice. the difference between those are the 520hx has modular cabling. the 550vx and 520hx will both work fine.
Ok thanks... I think i'll go with the 550W vx then.. EDIT: By the way, i've heard that dual/triple rails like HX might be trouble, is that true?
No, some idiots will have you otherwise, but multi-rail and/or modular PSUs are VERY rarely problematic for that reason.
Hey, the shop was out of corsair 550W VX, so they'd sell me a Zalman ZM600-HP instead, is this good psu? Doesn't cost much more tho.. 17,5$ more It has four rails for 42A total and modular cables, but i'm not familiar with the Manufacturer ^^
Zalman PSUs are good, but the 600-HP isn't as quiet as the Corsair units. If that's not an issue, it'll be fine for your uses.
Thanks Oh... I don't care if it isn't as quiet, i've got used to my chinese ping-pong, it sounds like a jetplane ;D
