Hmm my Antec 350 W works great but I dont have a DFI board.
NF4 PSU requirements
I'm wondering what the minimum power requirements for the nforce4 chipset are. I have a NF4 754 mobo, and my 350W Enermax Noisetaker doesn't seem to be doing the trick, I get Standby and DRAM LEDs, and the Northbridge fan spins a little bit (this is with everything un-needed unplugged)
The manual recommends a min. 400W PSU, and dfi-street rcommends a 480W PSU.
I've narrowed it down to Enermax Noisetaker 485W, and Antec TruePower 2 480W. Would either of these do the trick? Also would a 400-420 W do it, or s hould I just shell out the extra cash for the extra 60-80 watts?
Enermax Noisetaker 485:
+3.3V: 55A (max) +5V: 48A (max) +12V1 & +12V2: 20A + 18A (max)
Antec TP2 480W:
+3.3V: 30A (max) +5V: 38A (max) +12V1: 18A (max) +12V2: 18A (max)

You would have to spend about $50 more on a PSU to really start beating the Antec, so go for it!
get a sunbeam nuuo or the seasonic s12-500
Enermax makes better psus than Antec... especially lately. The only Antec I'd get is a NeoHE
How about the Topower 450 P5?
ncsa recommends the Topower 550 for DFI NF4 boards, and apparently the P5 series is almost the same as OCZ Powerstream??

Tweako, I live in the suburbs of Toronto. Do you know of any stores (preferably with a retail store) in the GTA? Best I've found so far is www.canadacomputers.com
Fox, Egg doesn't ship to Canada.
Anyone know anything about these Topowers?

I just picked up an Antec Truepower 2 480W. Looks like it's what I needed. Thanks for the help guys.
