It seems that a capitor was broke which mite of been causeing voltage issues.  I'm going to replace it.  However it was tring to tell me that I needed a 38 psu.  But I need to take into account everything I have.What's a 38 PSU ? ?
Are you soldering this capacitator yourself ? ?
Be prepared to lose a MBoard...sorry 38 watt powersupply.  yeah, why?  I'm getting one exatly the same value an everything.  i cant afford to lose the board.A 38 Watt PSU may run 2 hard drives and a CDRom...did you mean a 380Watt ? ? Quote from: Dead_Reckon on December 05, 2008, 10:22:54 PM

For one, I bought the 550W PSU before I bought the 8800. I pieced the computer together as i could afford to buy the parts to rebuild it. Never knew this 8800 would eat so much power. As for your requested specs, here they are patio:

My desktops specs are:
Intel Pentium D 805 2.66GHz/533FSB/2MB L2 (about 77w)
LGA775 Foxconn M7VMX-K series M-ATX motherboard with the nVidia nForce 7050/610i chipset (about 80-100W)
XFS 8800GS 384MB 192 bit PCI-E x16 2.0 GPU (about 350W)
D-Link Air Plus G DWL-G510 PCI WIC (a few watts, 2, 3, maybe 5)
Primary HDD: Hitachi Travelstar 60GB 2.5" SATA150 (Don't know)
Secondary HDD: Western Digital WD3200JB 320GB 3.5" IDE (Don't know)
Optical drive: Lite-On LDW-811S IDE DVD burner (Again, don't know)
And finally, my desktop has 9 fans cooling it, soon to be 10 or 11 when i install a couple side panel fans.

Adds up to about 520-530W, not counting the amperage, like I said, GPU eats about 20 some amps, I got it on both rails (I think) with a 2 molex to 6 pin ADAPTER. I know for a fact the PSU is over heating though. You never want to run a PSU over 50%, and this WAY over that, near the 75% mark I'd bet while gaming. As a note, I'm running the Hitachi because its the only SATA drive I got and the IDE bus is buggy at best under continued load on this motherboard.

I've listed the fans below, 'cause, maybe one of you will be able to tell how much power I'll really need. I think each eats about .5W 'less there 50mm or smaller, dunno though. Don't think they really eat much though.
2x 80mm front intake fans
1x 80mm top exhaust fan
1x rear 92mm exhaust fan
1x 92mm CPU heatsink fan
1x 40MM chipset heatsink fan
1x 50mm mosfet fan
1x 50mm GPU fan (built into heatsink)
1x 120mm PSU fan (built into power supply)
I'm installing a 70mm side intake fan to cool the GPU, and a 92mm side intake to blow over the chipset 'soon as I get more dremel cutting discs.

[EDIT] I just got an idea, might be a bogus one, but I'll probably try it. Maybe if I cram a high flow fan in the PSU it'll stay cool enough to game with? I'm crazy enough to try it, get one that's like, a 100+ CFM 120mm fan. Sure, it'll sound like a jet turbine ready to implode, but, my PSU might not cook.

[EDIT] Call me crazy, but I'm going to go ahead and buy a 110CFM fan when I get the money, this Sythe Slipstream 120MM Fan.

It seems that a cap(aci)itor was broke

They last longer if there not hot enough to burn you all the time in case you didn't know.

There's 3 conversations going in this thread now...

Accessless, nothing is overclocked. Read and research before assuming. As for the fans, I like keeping things in my machine cold. They last longer if there not hot enough to burn you all the time in case you didn't know.
