corsair 620hx and the DFI infinity p965-s anyone w/ success stories?

treepop · May 1, 2007

I am getting a bit nervous. I have heard a lot of people saying that the corsair 620hx is the creme de' le creme of PSU's, but I have also heard of several people having major issues with this PSU and the dfi infinity p965-s.

I was wondering if there have been any above average or at least average overclocks 3.6ghz - 4ghz w/ this combo.

I hope this makes sense, I have to run work calls

Tree,

I would also post this in the DFI MB section. I haven't heard of any conflicts personally.

I don't think it's the creme of the crop but it's a great bang for the buck. It's silent, modular, 8 sata's, good amps on the 12v, and very efficient. All that for 140 bucks.

Not to thread jack, just wondering here. Why would a certain brand PSU have conflict with a motherboard?

Ink,

I don't know. The ATX standards are in place with this power supply and the DFI board.

I know that in the past, certain PSU's have had startup voltage issues with certain motherbords. I can't remember which PSU and board though... I also remember certain PSUs not having enough Amps to properly drive everything on a motherboard's POST. Oklahoma Wolf, do you remember what boards, etc it was? I wanna say it was an issue with the DFI Ultra-D :shrug:

Dave,

I remember something about that some time ago and I want to say it was some of the Fortron units but I'm not sure. I think those issues were corrected. I can't see the Corsair HX620 having that problem.

Haven seen any one except you talking about these problems . My Ultra-d didnt like enermax liberty 620s and it had a few others that it didnt like . DFI's are the only boards I can rember not likeing specfic PSU's .

To OP: you should be fine . Have you checked the DFI forums to see if there is a conflict ?

Asus and Antec had a problem too. Can't remeber what though.

DFI's had major probs with Seasonic PSU's, the s12 line esp. teh Corsair PSU's are made by seasonic and i think are rebadged m12's. m12=the modular s12. has something to do with the 5vsb voltage iirc.

so your saying I will have "major probs" with my setup as well?

520hx + Infinity 975x works like a charm if its any help.

The_Jizzler · May 1, 2007
