Xross Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 This is a handy tool to help determine your PSU needs. PSU Calculator Hope you find it useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathrus~SPARTA~ Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 hehe... here is some real irony. When you click on the link it says; "service unavailable" But if you go to the Asus website, you can find it there. I think Corsair and Thermaltake also have calculators. and.... REMEMBER!! as Tim Taylor the Toolman says; "MORE POWER is always better!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REMEMBER!! as Tim Taylor the Toolman says; "MORE POWER is always better!" Is the link not working for you? I just tried it again and it went straight to the ASUS calculator. Let me know and I'll try to sort it out. And yes you're right. No such thing as too much power (within reason of course). This particular calculator builds in some head room by assuming all devices are drawing peak current simultaneously. That's how it should be spec'd out anyway so it's a valid setup.

GySgt~SPARTA~ Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 You guys know about P.I.E 1000 watts divided by 12.volts = 86 Amps thats more then enough amps i need for a 30 amp SLI rig. butt hey more amps means better performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that's Ohm's Law for calculating DC values and it (P) probably includes the 3.3 and 5v stuff as well so it's not all for the 12v systems. Be careful with some (most) of these vendors as they distribute the power over multiple 'rails' so you never have the full capacity available. So is the link working properly?
