My Luck

Post by DaKon » Sat Dec 30, 2006 1:26 am

Well I have the luck. I just put together my new system. Conroe, 8800gtx, evga 680i mb, dominiator ram, xfi, raptor and my 1 year old 550watt antec psu.

I though this psu would be enough. But had the scare of my life. Turned on the computer the first time after putting it together, and 5 seconds end the PSU blew. I guess it had a bit to much to try and power.

This is the first time I had an antec ever fail, and I have used them for years and years off of a JD recommendation.

And I still use them. I had to go buy a 650watt tri rail (20amps each rail) to power this system. It is Antec and works like a charm. And think, it was just a few years ago that 250 watts was enough.

Crosses fingers that I do not blow anything else up :)
