The X1050 is an excellent power supply.


I actually worked for EVGA and worked on the NEX1500. My opinion on it is complicated and involves information that would get me sued for posting it on a public forum. In general though, it's a good powersupply, it has a couple shortcomings, but it also has a lot of cutting edge features and the highest power output on the market. I would not hesitate to use one myself.

So if I am understanding this correctly I don't need to worry about choosing the "right" cables of a power supply with a split 12v rail to avoid overloading one rail?

Case in point cheap crap old power supply from parts bin apevia win-500xspx http://www.apevia.com/ProductsInfo.asp?KEY=WIN-500XSPX which has a split 12v rail.

I am building a system from the parts bin to play with the Linux Steam Beta. The GPU is a GTX-260 which requires 2 6-pin connectors, power supply has one and for the other I was going to use a 4-pin to 6-pin adapter. The rest of the parts are fairly low power, Gigabyte mATX mobo, e5400 CPU, Artic 7 low profile cooler, 2x2G DDR2-800, ATA WD 80G HDD and generic CD/DVD, and a couple case fans.

Should be plenty of power for everything, so long as everything isn't trying to use one rail for all the +12v.

Thanks as usual.

Actually it's a single rail, they just say it has two rails because flargleboopadougablargh. Piece of crap though, no GTX260 deserves that thing.

Ha! Well the GTX260 came out of my kids system and served him well for years, I doubt its worth much at this point considering the power it consumes and heat it generates, and its got about the horse power of a $100 card these days. Seems to work fine, I got it up and running under Ubuntu with the Steam Linux Beta this evening. Haven't had a chance to push it yet.

I tried googling "flargleboopadougablargh" no luck.

Thanks

It's not just about the performance man, it's the legacy too. The GTX260 was one of the great cards of the last few years. I say any card that was fairly high-end upon release and was widely used deserves a measure of respect, out of nostalgia at least.

Seems like a card that's brand new is treated like a god, one year old and it's an old warhorse, two years old and it's a clunker, three years old and it's junk... Then five or six and suddenly it's a great nostalgic piece. tongue.gif
