    Ok, here's the situation.
    Currently have:
    Q6600 OC'ed to 3.2ghz
    Crossfire 5850's
    8GB RAM
    2 SATA and 1 optical drive.

    Has been running fine with:
    High Power Plus 650w

    +5V +3.3V +12V1 +12V2 -12V +5Vsb
    20A 24A 20A 20A 0.3A 2.5A

    650W

    ATX 2.2 veriosn power supply
    > Active PFC
    > Temperature contraol sensor
    > Over Voltage/Short circuit protection
    > Dual +12V rails (+v1 v2)
    > 12cm low noise fan
    > Energy efficiency 80%+

    Has 4 independant +12v output rails.

    Putting aside it being a relatively unknown brand/model would I be able to use this if I switched motherboard/RAM and bought an i5 2500k?
    Considering I think the i5 would use less power and I assume volts?
    Thanks! Sorry I couldn't format the table for the rails properly. :P

    There is a Forum call PC Building & Upgrading where you will get a reply to that question.

    Click the first instance of 'Computers & Technology' above (to the right of 'Tech') and you'll see a link to it, or click below....

    Thanks, I'm aware of it but I thought this would be the right forum as it is more of a question of whether this power supply is good enough to support an i5 rig.
    If I'm wrong could a mod please move this thread? Thanks!
