Re: best PSU/SMPS for config

CORSAIR TX 650 for that setup. triple channel memory is a waste for any AMD processor currently available

dude 1090T is 13.5k not 10k....1055T is 9.5k..as for mobo have a look at the MSI 890GXM GD 65 (not too sure of model number) for approx 8k.

Jul 16, 2010 at 8:16 AM
Re: best PSU/SMPS for config

if you look at his previous posts he has mentioned that he is getting 1090t for the price of 1055t and thats why i said check once again

for going with SLI he needs nforce chipset and not amd chipsets

ok, thanks,

but can i do crossfire ATI. i just need support for multiple GPU.

Re: best PSU/SMPS for config

there is no restriction buddy. you have opened tow threads for your PC. One for the main build and one for the PSU. So its logical that you use the respective threads.

Anyway coming back to your query, you can do a crossfire with MSI 890GXM G65 @ 7.2K
Which Ati GPUs are you planning to crossfire ?

Re: best PSU/SMPS for config

what about BioStar TA890FXE Ver. 5.x

go for it if you can find but useless. it got 4 odd placed PCIeX16 slots. & it works in X16, X8, X4, X1 or say X8+X8. so better invest in MSI 890GX. you'll save some money.

fully agreed. it'll cause more confusion, not for OP but for the others who suggesting him.

Which mobo ?

try one of the boards released by MSI having Lucid Hydra onboard or you can search for board having Nforce NF100 chip.

@OP
I have closed all your other threads. Next time just create a single thread for all your config related questions AND wait for replies. Consider this a warning.

And I have renamed this thread too.

@jas, Lucid Hydra support upto AMD+Nvidia+Nvidia. so if you remove the AMD card, won't you get SLI?

Hi,

i am in indore (India)
I am getting ASUS CIVF in 11446/- Only
and
ATI Radeon HD 5830 1 GB in 12870/- Only

my budget (total) is approx 40000/- (as i need to upgrade my system, i do not required HDD, Optical Media/CD-DVD Writer/Drive, and cabinet and PSU, no monitor and no input device required.i have Zebronics 400W PSU.

40000/- is only for Mobo, Processor, RAM and two GPU (SLI or Crossfire => "let me know which one is best").


let me know which is best, as i am using AMD and Asus from last 8 years. i did not found any problem in ASUS yet.

About Usage => Extreme Gaming, Server testing (SharePoint, OCS, Exchange, Virtualization -multi OS, Linux Servers etc)

Hi,

CIVF isn't available for that price......that must be CIIIF! The market price for CIVF is 16K & above, where as the for CIIIF is around 12K! This happened with my friend also, they went to inquire for CIVF, & they were told this price & they didn't even have CIVF! CIVF only on order & it takes around 4weeks(depending on when the shipment arrives).

PS: i know the main distributor/the main supplier for Asus thats why i know this info!

you'll have to change your SMPS, first of all its Zebrnonics, 2nd its 400W! if you power up your system with this SMPS, your whole system would be fried coz of low quality, low wattage PSU!!!!:-| plus your going for CF, you'll need a really good power supply!
Also which cabinet you have?

^^ not valid for all. just look for the back & check if the exhaust is big. if most hot air goes out, from where heat issues will come? this type of small exhaust common to both Palit & Zotac. & so both are hot cards. not only from outside but from inside as well.
