Power Supply recommendation
I have a P4 2.26 gigahertz proc. and was wondering what kind of
recommendation for a power supply I should get. I'm not looking to overclock and or anything heavy. I'm confused when it comes to dual fans and voltages. Any help would be appreciated. |

Power Supply recommendation
You need a power supply that will carry all the loads from
the motherboard and CPU plus the RAM and each drive, plus the add-in cards, USB ports and anything else you connect to the computer, plus a little reserve. A 250 Watt PSU will overheat if you try to make it deliver 250 Watts 100% of the time and a 450 Watt unit will run just fine delivering 250 Watts 24/7/365. Use the power calculators to find the minimum size you need and then get a size bigger. Buy a name brand. -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome.

You notice that it is only recommendations. As they don't sell power
supplies I don't think they have an agenda! -- Regards, Richard Urban aka Crusty (-: Old B@stard :-) If you knew as much as you thought you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!
