Tiger K8W Power supply recommendations ?
Any recommendations on a tried-and-true Power Supply for this mobo ??
According to articles it can run with any 350W PIV compatible PS. Any advantages to a native SATA power connection vs. the standard 4-pin ?? Likewise ATX12v ?? It looks like in order to use ATX12v the board requires a 4-pin Aux ??? TIA - bebopper |

I've seen the manual. I'm looking for a brand and part # of a PS that has these connectors. Not all of them do ... - bebopper |

I've been there .. I'm getting the Tyan and memory form Newegg
already. I'm just looking for a suggestion as to what other people have used with this board, and not all the PS descriptions say what connectors hang off of it. There are a few different options with this mobo, one of which is to use the standard EPS, which means I could use my current 350W. I don't want to order a PS and find out I need an adapter to run the K8w according to spec... I was wondering what advantage there might be to going ATX12v at all... Thanks !! - bebopper On Mon, 10 May 2004 14:52:48 -0400, General Schvantzkoph wrote: On Mon, 10 May 2004 13:34:52 -0400, bebopper wrote: Thanks ... I've seen the manual.

Newegg has the Antec True550 EPS12V supply available for $100, that one should be more than adequate. You don't want to cheap out on the power supply on a system like that. Between motherboard, processors and memory you are going to have nearly $2K invested in the box, a few dollars more for a good power supply isn't going to break you, and more importantly the power supply will be less likely to break your system. |

For the record, I went with the Vantek Stealth VAN-520 ($101.00 at Newegg) This has 3 fans (adjustable) , 10 Mobex connectors, a 24-20 pin converter and several aux 4,6 and 8 pin as well as two floppy connectors. It handles 620W peak. The cables are looonnnggg too !! I suspect this should hande anything I throw at it ... Thanks, - bebopper |
