| Apex Tech Fanatic | so, im currently using the PSU in my sig below. its a great solid PSU, but the problem is i upgraded my GPU to a 4870, while im also keeping my 8800GTS in there as i will be running 3 to 4 LCDs off this system. the problem is this PSU only has 2 6 pin PCI-E connections. the 4870 requires 2, and i have adapters for molex to PCI-E, but i dont have any available molex conenctions as they are routed to fans, pump or whatever, and are basicly out of the way. so looking for a good PSU, that can conenct everything. preffer something modular too. i really like this PSU, but it only has 2x 6 pin and 2 x 6+2 pin. while this could run my setup, i think i would preffer something that has another 6 pin and 8 pin. so what ya guys think and can recommend? im not looking for anything cheap to just get me by for now. im budgeting about $350 for this. so looking for a GOOD Psu thanks | |

Not modular, but then ... you'll be using lots of the connectors anyway. Right? ![]() Newegg.com - PC Power & Cooling S61EPS 610W Continuous @ 40°C EPS12V Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, cUL, CE, CB, TUV - Power Supplies Only has 2 PCI-E connectors, however, so the top one is better. Alternately, you could use some SATA2->Molex connectors, in conjunction with Molex->PCI-E connectors ... resistance is hell, but workable, and only $1.95 per.

Needs a large case, I guess, but YOU CAN MOD IT, TCG!!! Note, the simplest solution is the PSU that rbieze suggested ... ![]() -godling | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
