Power Supplies?

[Guest]

I heard somewhere that amd systems can be particular about the kind of power supply? I am thinking 350w but what is a good, reliable brand?

Thanks,

Enermax seems to be the most accepted brand.
Try <A HREF="http://www.phamcomputer.com" target="_new">Pham Computer</A>. They have a good selection and shipping is a flat $4 anywhere in the US.

I'm just kind of noticing a trend here, and was wondering:

Do you have one of those 'unlimited-budget' business credit cards, or what?

Yes, Enermax is very widely accepted. You can find hte list of AMD approved power supplies on AMD's site.

get one with internal exhuast fans to help cool the CPU.

...and make sure the fan is on the bottom of the power supply, not the back.

Most PSU (especially Enermax) have fans on the bottom and the back. Otherwise they don't do much good, and won't be approved by AMD.
