OK, the design on that compy... Dude... wtf were you thinking? What in the hell made you decide to run another psu out the frount bay of the tower so that its hideous as all balls now? *sigh* Fucking noob.

That looks like a piece of crap anyway, your computer. You needn't a 2nd PSU you dumbfuck.

oooooz noes!!!!! i put another psu in my case...... what bad will ever come to it!!!! o shit i smell smoke!!!!!

really now...... who cares? i put it in because i was board and i had some extra time. and you thinking your cool for saying my comp looks like shit, well ya it does but im sorry my comp doesn't look like your SUPER COOL DELL!!!!

If your reason to use 2 PSU's is to have more internal power cables, you'd better off using one PSU (with high enough power for your needs) that uses modular cables.

It's called "buying into the hype". Remember last year, when everyone was freaking out about needing 1500W power supplies for this year's graphics cards?
>> Anonymous
>>128026
OP's PSU's suck ass. He could have gotten one good 550w to suit hes needs. GFX manufacturers always over estimate the power requirements. I wish more would print amperage requirements on the 12v rails than wattage. The only setups that I would recommend a 1kw psu is for the monstrosity of the AMD 4x4. Even a SLI 8800GTX system with a C2D would run on a good 700-800w PSU (Zippy makes a fine PSU).

That's a nice setup, did you OC it?

I agree on the power only that I get a power
warning with my 6600gt about there not being
enough and the driver will lower the settings.
I have a 450w PSU so I wonder if the cards are
messed up or the driver has problems.
>> Anonymous
>>128038
I have a friend that has a 420w psu but it's a value model so it only produces 18amps on the 12v rail. Let's just say he gets quite a bit of crashes. What is your brand of PSU? Rule of thumb, do not buy any PSU that is less than 50 dollars US.

Good link for PSU rankings.

Damn that thiing is huge, makes my 120mm radiator look puny. How are the temps with it? Sucks that there aren't any 3rd party water blocks out there for the 8800GTX or 8800GTS(I have that).
>> Anonymous
I've got a Reserator 2 on QX6700. Core temperatures on idle are 44/45/38/39? (CPU 25?), and rise to 78/78/73/74? (CPU 63?) after about an hour under full load
>> Anonymous
Actually, it only JUST keeps it cool enough. It idles at around 39-40 degrees Celsius and peaks at 58-59.

However, it has alot to do with the fact that my mobo is passively cooled with heatpipes'n'shit.

The mobo is designed so that the CPU cooler would cool it a bit, but as I'm using water that is a no-go.

The fan in the back is *only* there to suck air in and around the 4 300G disks in the front. If a leave the side off for just 15 minutes, they get hot as hell!

"It idles at around 39-40 degrees Celsius and peaks at 58-59." that is, core temps. Not "CPU temp"

Sounds a bit disappointing but I guess that is because it's passive radiator. I wonder if they put a bigger pump would it affect the temps. That quad is really running hot when on load.
>> Anonymous
>>128035
only OC'd a small bit (running at 2.4 over 2.2 stock). Don't really need to OC it. CPU usually idles around 35 (thanks to that 8800gtx spitting out so much heat). Case is usually idle at 43C. Max temp for CPU is around 45C and case temp about 48C
>> Anonymous
Exactly. Before my 4 HDD's came along, the temps were about 10 degrees lower. During summer time it gets a bit hotter, but I just clock it down or turn up the speed on the fan in the back ;)

Indeed a better pump would help. The radiator is room temp and so is not radiating much heat.

Zalman is known for their bad choice of pumps, sadly.

Here's my cabling nightmare... Should've gone for the modular PSU but dammit, at the time they were so damn expensive for a good wattage and amperage..

Antec TruePower 2.0 - 550w
ASUS K8N-DL
2x Socket 939 AMD Dual Core Opteron 265's (each core OC'd to 2.6Ghz)
4x Crucial 1Gb RAM
GeForce 6800 GTX
1x WD Raptor 74GB
4x WD 250GB (Raid 0)
2x DL DVD Burners (Sony)
Lousy WLAN card

I so need to upgrade that 6800...

4x 250GB in RAID0? I hope for you those disks are reliable.

They're WD...
I would have gone RAID 5 on those.

WD's are just as reliable as any other disk.
I have 4x 300G Seagate's in RAID5. Works great.

About the whole 2 PSUs thingie:

I onced used a machine (a server by Sun Microsystems) that had two hot-swappable PSUs. At any given time you could just pull out one of them (no tedious deattaching/reattaching of cables) and the machine would just keep on running. Very nifty.

Yeah, I agree. Still, I wouldn't put four of ANY disk in RAID 0.

I'm setting up 4 in RAID 5 today (expanding my array from three to four). jooc, how did you do your setup? I'm using softraid in Windows, stupid idea, I have to knock everything down when I want to rebuild the array onto four drives.

That's kinda standard with servers - we've got several such machines, and you can even buy hotswappable PSU bays for "normal" PCs.

Speed. Not worth it unless you keep all programs and media on backed-up or fault-tolerant drives and a backup of your OS ready to go for when the RAID 0 fails.
