 |  Corsair 520 PSU??? I got a corsair 520 psu and I was wondering how you rma it and if I should because Iam not sure if it can handle a q6600 and a 8800 GTX or a 9800 series in december with 2gb of ram Should I RMA it? Or keep it? I want to overclock everything I possibly can lolz. My system specs are: q6600 g0 gygabite ds3r mobo or asus p5k sony dvd drive 500gb hard drive crucial 2gb 8800GTX or 9800GTX Tuniq tower Antec 900 or some other case and finally corsair 520 psu or rma it and get another. What are your opinions on the build and PSU compatability |

  | Re: Corsair 520 PSU??? You should be fine if it has dual 12v rails. Those cards you have mentioned only require about 400w - 450w at max. In my opinion and from past experiences, I would think you should be fine, but if in any doubt and if you really want to waste the time RMA(ing) (which I have found to take some time), you could always go for a larger PSU. If I were in your place I would probably keep the psu, because as I mentioned before, it meets the recommended specs. ::-Chase-:: |

| Re: Corsair 520 PSU??? You should be able to find out somewhere on buy.com, just search around. You shouldn't have problems with this psu anyway...some people just like to take it that extra step of reassurance by buying a psu far larger than what is required... ::-Chase-:: |
