    Ok thanks.

    I might try my 400W PS but I really don't think it will work.

    I if not I might go for this Super Flower 550W since its only €4 more expensive than the 450W.

    Does anyone know how much P&P is from that hardwareversand site? I cant seem to find it in English.
    P&P is a flat rate of €30 no matter how large the order is, so you might have to look elsewhere.

    dont get the Corsair CX430W, as i believe its a terrible PSU. - corrected

    Not all Super Flower models are the same. The one you linked there is a very dodgy PSU. You want to be picking the Super Flower Amazon models:

    Ok thanks for the advice guys. I'm a bit of a noob at this stuff even though I am studying the A+. :cool:

    €30 P&P is a bit out of my price range anyhow.

    There is this 650W PS on pixmania for just €31. Do ye think it would be ok? There must be a reason it is so cheap right?

    Where'd you see that about the CX430 ? From what I've seen of it in reviews (JG is the one the I remember best) Its a solid little unit

    Yeah, I just saw a 5850 in PC World, Limerick for €309 ! :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 169 ✭✭dkmedia


    The price has again increased, now it costs 119,90 euro, must be selling well then :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,155 ✭✭✭Stainless_Steel


    Got one of these for 113.90 off Pix!

    Really smooth gaming at 1920 x 1080. Delighted....great value!

    Cheeky of them. I got mine before this increase. Still waiting on other components though.

    Incidentally, I still have this from around 3 years ago, t'was very expensive at the time:

    336401 OCZ StealthXStream Powersupply ATX/EPS,
    600W, 120mm Fan, 4/8pin CPU, 20/24pin

    No power inputs or the like have been added since then have they? This rig is a 5850 and an X4 Phenom. 1 HD, 4 gb RAM...

    Just wanted to make sure she's still ok to use?

    Previously I had a Socket 775 Core 2 Quad 6600 and a pretty hefty 8800. Top of the line at the time.

    I'd rather not buy a new PSU!

    EDIT: It also got fantastic reviews back then.

    ahh the good old 8800 :D, I had an e6600 & 8800gt back then.
    That psu will be more than enough, an overclocked i7 with the hd 5850 takes 319 watts in this review.

    Emailed Sapphire about this as a load of people were wondering about it and yes, any 5850 will work with any other 5850

    5850 back at pixmania at €119.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,982 ✭✭✭KilOit


    Got this card ages ago, mad to see it's still a beast of a card comparing it to newer cards.
    Anyone got figures on a crossfire with this?
