Power supply for multi IDE
Mark M wrote in message ... I am thinking of getting the Gigabyte 7VAXP-A mainboard which has 4 IDE connectors. What rating of power supply would I need to support this sort of board and eight IDE devices? Thats still mostly determined by the AMD cpu requirements. Just get one of the AMD approved power supplys with a higher power rating. BTW is this mainboard a good choice? I prefer Asus motherboards myself. In particular I like the dual BIOS feature and the 4 IDE connectors. But are there any obvious drawbacks? The Gigabyte manuals can leave a bit to be desired in my opinion. Have a read of that one and try to use the RAID connectors for a non RAID config with say 6 hard drives and you will see what I mean. |
