a question about PSU

[dani3lc]

Hi guys just wanna know if this psu can support my new budget gaming spec.

http://www.avf.com.my/avf.php?c=72&p=313

My new comp spec :
- Asus A88XM-A motherboard
- AMD A10 7850k APU processor
- Apacer Ram Desktop DDR3 GIANT II 8GB PC2133\

im just running the Internal APU graphics not using any xfire in the coming 2 years. does the psu provide enough power to support??

Please advise.....TQ

 

[ModernWarfare]

yes that should work ok it will power fine.

sorry made a double post though 1st post was at

*vomits*

Do NOT get that PSU. That's a prime example of a gutless wonder if I ever saw one. Textbook.

You want a ~400W+ one from the second link in my sig.

 

[dani3lc]

thz thz for the advice and sorry for the double post btw one last question . i have an older psu which i don't know if its good enough.

Gigabyte PoweRock 420. is this even better, for now? im quite tight budget on getting even a new psu.....

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Better than that first one, but still to be avoided if possible.

Where are you buying from? What's the budget?

Also, if you haven't yet bought the APU, I'd go for an Athlon 750K and a midrange dedicated GPU.

 

[ModernWarfare]

I know its a crappy psu but if you're not willing to add a gpu it should be fine.

 

[dani3lc]

well basically the main prob is im getting bsod caused by memory management base on the minidump file. have check and try to fixed it up for few days though. im getting bsod only when i set the profile for 2133mhz and when i tried working on 1866mhz, i got no bsod for 48 hours that i put on idle mode.

so after some forumers advice they said might be cause of the psu that i bought which is a bad quality wan that could not boost the voltage of 2133mhz. so if thats really the problem then i might consider changing it though.

btw i already bought the upgrades though, guess no turning back for me .... just wondering if the psu would affect my ram voltage which leads to blue screen

 

[Someone Somewhere]

If you're referring to the Gigabyte one, then yes. The one up at the top of the thread, nope.

 

[dani3lc]

Some people ask me to even check the timing for the rams since that might even effect it so basically which should i go 1st?

- changing the gigabyte psu and configure the timing?
- just buy a better psu and c how it goes?

 

[ModernWarfare]

yes change psu if possible.

 

[dani3lc]

well ill just change the psu 1st and c running it on auto could be stable. ill come back with more reports TQ

 

[ModernWarfare]

get something that has 80+bronze or greater.

 

[dani3lc]

well im trying to get tht

http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001857

as post on the link of someone somewhere. it is list on the tier 3 is that ok though?

 

[Someone Somewhere]

I would try to get something on a higher tier, but 3 is OK if it's all you can get.

 

[dani3lc]

Cooler Master GX 80 Plus 450W

i found this selling on my area and the price is quite considerable though. and this is on the tier 2b. so shud i get thermaltake or this cooler master

 

[Someone Somewhere]

The CoolerMaster.

 

[dani3lc]

ok ill c if thing goes good after i get the coolermaster . Thank you guys....will come back asap to report

 

[dani3lc]

well i was busy working today cant even manage to get the psu i think ill just get it tomorrow or next week though.....meanwhile i thought i could slip in the gigabyte psu i mention earlier.....and after 3 hours running on 2133 mhz it bsod on me though.

so im doubting psu was the main reason for my bsod, since i tried 2 psu though. my bsod is on the same error (memory management). i really don't understand ......please advice. if i bought the new psu and still having bsod im gonna be speechless though

 

[ModernWarfare]

hmm. have you tried only one stick of ram and see if it crashes.

 

[dani3lc]

well havent though i thought of getting a new psu 1st to c if it solve and if is not i guess the only reason would be mobo or ram though.....well since u advice so ill try using single ram.

fyi i had no bsod even using 2 rams as long as i downclocked it to 1866mhz.....so basically my ram should be ok right??

 

[ModernWarfare]

yup actually 1866mhz is not bad at all! you should be more than ok with that speed.

 

[dani3lc]

so if my ram and mobo can sit well on 1866 means both are fine?

i understood but that was my last resort to stay at 1866mhz i purposely bought 2133mhz ram to co-op with the APU since apu runs better with higher ram frequency. it would be waste if i downclocking it .......

so any suggestion for solution now? or just try if a new psu could actually show some mercy to me.......

 

[ModernWarfare]

cant tell its either the psu or the motherboard not doing a good job.

 

[ModernWarfare]

Try raising the CPU/NB voltage + 0.14 so if at 1.1 set to 1.30
