Show Us Your WEI [4]

[ThrashZone]

Not sure a ssd would do hard for the psu
Your gpu graphic's card is the biggest drain on the psu but yes 250w is pretty low
But your gpu I read only consumes 43watts :/

 

[RespawnTime]

I think it's lower since it's very old and the wattage output decreases with time as i heard.My system also started shutting down when at max load(CPU temps are at 55 celsius and GPU is 33,I guess the psu cannot deliver enough power because all voltage rails are normal ).

Can anyone recommend me a good 500W PSU?

If this is your case
NZXT Phantom 630 Windowed Edition Gunmetal Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Newegg.com

Seems any modular psu should fit
I like evga stuff 550w is the lowest G2 model it's second best to the evga P2 series which is the best
EVGA - Products - EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G2 Power Supply - 220-G2-0550-Y1

Forgot to post my WEI update here, so here is it after changing the CPU.

 

[essenbe]

Good job.

 

[chefduane]

Recently did a MB & CPU upgrade.

 

[StalkeR]

I was thinking why my wei has changed down...

In my result above I got 7.7 on the GPU/Gaming now I got 6.6.


Of course, that is no problem for me, the pc is working great as before, but just was jelous...

Hi,
Might not like the graphic's driver being used which is what by the way ?

My acer actually went up .1 i believe 372.70

 

[essenbe]

Nice score Boshko. Like Mike says it may be the driver. But, if it plays your games well, it's doing fine.

 

[StalkeR]

Thanks people. Yes, I was also thinking of the drivers, but I think that I haven't updated my driver.
However, I'll update my driver to latest stable, and will check again the score.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Just because it's the latest driver does not mean it will be the greatest

 

[StalkeR]

Yep, I know that.

True that. That's why I do not recommend updating drivers if the one one has is working fine.

When updating drivers, I strongly recommend making an image before updating. That way, if things go pear shaped (such as an updated driver not being as good as the previous one), one can easily restore the computer to the state it was in prior to the update.

Hi,
I wonder which nvidia driver ms is pushing now days
I have one showing up that appeared last month not that I would load it but wondering which version it is since no information shows ?

 

[StalkeR]

"Problem" solved. Thanks to my stupidity...

When I bought my Dell accidently I put the hdmi cable into my motherboard not in my gpu. That was the reason why I got smaller results in gpu/gaming.

Don't feel bad. When I bought my first PC, I plugged the telephone cable into the Ethernet port instead of the modem and the VGA cable into the MOBO VGA instead of the graphics card VGA.
