nForce2 specific PSU's??...

I don't know about ALL nForce2 mobo's but my Abit NF7S rev2.0 runs the CPU off of the +12volt rail instead of the 'traditional' +5v rail. Where does this leave people when choosing a new PSU? A good PSU was always determined by the +5volt output (+5V & +3.5V combined), now that the +5volt rail is'nt critical, or even hardly used, what is the PSU with the best +12volt rail? I know that Antec have a dedicated +12volt rail, not shared/tied to the +5volt rail like most other manufacturers, and that the Antec has voltage monitoring/correction for the +12volt rail as well...

What other PSU manufacturers/models have simular specs?...

Well the Antec TrueControl 550 lets you adjust the volatges for all three rails...Sparkel/Fortron make really nice power supply's...Looks like the picture at newegg has the standard 20pin ATX connector and the four pin P-4 connector on the motherboard like the Soltek nforce2 motherboards...If that is the case then any ATX power supply with the P-4 and 20pin connectors will work...No nforce2 "specific" power supply is out there that I know of anyway...

Well, in a couple of weeks I'm grabbing myself an Aopen nf2 board with a dedicated 12v connector - will see if the Channel Well 420 can power it, but I'm sure it will. If not, the 530 Fortron is my next target

Aw shucks this little ole 350 watt Sparkle will power just about anything you could get in full tower case http://store.yahoo.com/xpdirect/35sparpowsup.html A 400watt Fortron will power almost any concievable desktop box you could come up with...But if you just have to have complete, total and absolute overkill then this is the one for you http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?style=album And for 75.00 bones you couldnt beat it with a bat...

I just picked up a new Soltek NF2 mobo for a friend's upgrade. I am opting for a Fotron 400W unti from Newegg. Should be *plenty* of power!

I have a TTGI 520W PSU and I really like it. It has two internal pots to adjust the rails, one controls the 3.3V rail and the other controls both 5V and 12V rails. At stock settings the rails run at 5.05 and 11.85, I just haven't felt like pulling it apart to up the pot.

Soltek nForce2 boards are the bomb...And yes a 400watt Fortron/Sparkle are brutes...Antec True or Control 550's aint bad either...

550 for that bit extra juice
