PSU with XP-M 3000+

feeds@yuku.com (mudphudstud) — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 20:50:37 GMT

I currently have a TT PurePower 420W PSU (+3.3V@30A; +5V@40A; -5V@0.3A; +12V@18A; -12V@0.8A; +5VSB@2A) and I wanted to know if it would be sufficient to run this set up:

Mobo: K7S5A v1.0 (BIOS: 030811)

PSU 250W enough? Seems enough for me :)

Hi, folks. My K7S5A is still alive! I wanna squeeze the last drop of performance out of my good old K7S5A by replacing the cpu. Here are my specs: 768 MB PC-3200 DDR-RAM; Duron 900 MHz; 160GB+40GB S harddrives (7200rpm and 5400rpm respectively); DVD-RW; CD-RW; Extra sound card; Dial-up Modem; Extra Ethernet adapter (the motherboard doesn't have the integrated network card); Satellite DVB-card; NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX-200 videocard;...

Reboot/instability issue - PSU suspected

feeds@yuku.com (neilius) — Sat, 06 May 2006 01:29:44 GMT

Hey folks,

Some strange goings on with this system at the moment:

K7S5A 1.x running latest ECS BIOS
AMD Duron 1200
512MB DDR
nVidia GeForce 2MX400 64MB AGP card
Realtek 8139 based NIC
Creative SB Live! Platinum
Maxtor 60GB HDD
Pioneer DVD R/W
250W Q-Technology (not cheapo Q-Tec!) Silent PSU, a very heavy, well built and quite expensive unit although nearly 4 years old now.
Windows XP Pro.

All of a sudden the machine would lock up whilst in...

Is this Power Supply combatible with K7S5A Pro?

feeds@yuku.com (tjerino) — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 22:40:48 GMT

I need advice from someone who knows the PSU requirements well for the K7S5A. I saw this one listed on Newegg for cheap, with overall great reviews. It is the "COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power RS-430-PMSR/P Max: 400W, Peak: 430W Power Supply". However, one review brought up the fact that it has no -5V rail or some such, as it is not really required by newer motherboards. My question is...will it be functional with my K7S5A Pro because of that fact?

You can read all the specs...

PSU not sufficent for XP m 2800+ ?

feeds@yuku.com (sledgehammer) — Fri, 28 Oct 2005 12:51:41 GMT

@#%$. I just bought a XP m 2800+. I was smart enough to see, if it's running on the k7S5a, but not smart enough to see if the PS fullfills the specifications..

So, my PS says: 3.3V=12A;
5V=23A
12V=8,5A

it's a 230W one :/
That's hoppless to less power, isn't it? Should I give it a try, or is there a chance that I kill the CPU or anything else?

Can my PSU handle Radeon 9800pro

feeds@yuku.com (dodgeradee) — Sun, 29 May 2005 13:14:15 GMT

Hi I am just about to upgrade my graphics card from my GeForce 2 100/200MX to ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, the final part of my upgrades.

However I note that this card needs quite a bit of Power from the PSU, will my PSU be able to supply enough power to this graphics card. Has anyone got this Graphic Card and experienced any problems with the PSU???

With thanks.

PSU causing reboots?

feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) — Mon, 24 Jan 2005 16:35:36 GMT

Hey All,
I started to get problems last month until I upgraded to XP2500 mobile. All of a sudden other problems started to appear such as my computer restarting every 2 days. Starting to get frustrated cause I thought buying a new cpu and mobo would solve my problems(just fried a Asus A7N8X-E). So i'm back to my old mobo with the new chip reformated etc etc now i'm thinking that I dont have enough juice to my computer. Can someone take a look at my voltage in MBM5 and tell me if my 300w...

Quiet and Powerful - Possible ? ?

feeds@yuku.com (hap123) — Tue, 23 Nov 2004 21:12:32 GMT

It seems that the loudest sound in this little room, is the computer, and approx 85% of that noise is the PSU. Its the unit that came with this $35 case (nice case). Is there a PSU that puts out good voltage and quiet, that works good with KS75A v3.1, and maybe a good but quiet CPU fan too.

Thanks - hap

PS: Found this "Tagan TG480-U01" PSU looks good to me (a novice) a great review too.

a bit of help please

So, I'll save some money and skip the active pfc.

hi,

greets

Mike

Thanks

feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) — Tue, 05 Oct 2004 16:10:12 GMT

Thanks all for clues on how to solve a similar issue I had.

I upgraded from t-bird 1.4 to XP2600, would get a stop error while booting win2k with bios set to 133/133, ran stable at 100/133 (bios IDed it as XP1900). I have 4 pci cards, ATI 9600, case fan. Tried disconnnecting extra fan, 2 pci cards same thing. Then looked at the specs on the 2 yr. old generic 300w supply, pretty low compared to a decent new 350w supply. I picked up an Antec smartpower 400w. Runs stable as ever now...

Decent 400-500W PSU under $50(US). Is It possible?

Decent 400-500W PSU under $50(US). Is It possible? What do you think?

Recently I upgraded and overcklocked (more) my computer,
I reach 2200 MHz (@2.0V) on T-bred B 1700+(and 166Mhz for fsb), but the system is not stable over 2100 MHz.

I start searching...

This might be of help to some ppl having psu load problems, a while ago I tryed everything but couldnt run at 133/133 so I:

reconnected ATX Power cable and made sure wires we making good contact, then I applied tape near the end of it so that the wires couldnt be moved or put outa place.

chipset mod, I dont know the point of it tho, it did lower temps by 1 degree or so but no voltage raise, in fact i can run my board with no motherboard heatsink right now
