Thread: PSU's

Ive never heard of a hybrid PSU before.

I think modular are still the go.

Are you in the market for one?

If so, i cant recommend corsair strongly enough. I had a HX-620, now i have a HX-850. They are great. Well built and the modular design is great.

They also have a 7 year warranty, which is fantastic

Probably the only part of ROME thats still under warranty

another PSU question,,
any advantage single rail over quad rail??

I really dont think you can buy a bad PSU these days,,

quad rail should be superior i would think as it will have 4 separate circuits.

but depends on how you plug em up and what your using i suppose.

for a big times gamer like you a multiple rail should be better.

You'd think so but not always

You have to be careful at how many amps can be supplied over the 12v rails some very high end video cards require 40amps on a rail.

I had to replace a high end power supply because i didn't bother reading the requirements had 6 12v rails which made it great for a server as it could run plenty of hard drives but it didn't provide enough amps on the 2 rails to run the GTX480 i had.

Simply way to look at it is you want a high quality power supply with as many seperate rails as possible but make sure the pcie 12v rails supply enough amps for the video card

Heres a good example of what I'm talking about despite having similar wattage
