You're not getting us?

We are telling you to not get a $30 PSU.
Cheap PSU's are cheap for a reason - they suck and will likely fry your system.

One person said he tried to run a GTX 460 SE on it, and it killed it...
Your GTX 480 would draw more watts than his GTX 460 which leads me to say don't buy it since it couldn't handle his lower wattage card.

At least, if you plan to power the GTX 480 with it.

-time to bite-

Just because its a 600 watt power supply for 30 dollars does not mean you will supply even at least enough power for your system! STOP BEING A CHEAP OBLIVIOUS IGNORANT AND GET SOMETHING QUALITY MADE IF YOU NEED 600 WATTS FOR YOUR SYSTEM OR YOU WILL FRY YOUR SYSTEM!

dont have enough money? go mow some lawns!

the only thing we can do is try to find you a power supply at the most economic price but with a lower wattage yet problably enough to power what you are trying to power as long as you are NOT OVERCLOCKING

do i make sense?

 

[manu2b]

Pffff...

I guess the answer was in the question:

What PSu should I get to kill my hardware?

Oh! This Diablotek is a piece of choice!

If you haven't figured it out by now, 'looking' alright doesn't make things 'alright'. Diablotek is a piece of crap. In my signature is a link to quality PSU's, get one off that list... but there isn't going to be one for $30.

+1

Sorry bonokid, a good $30 PSU is not going to happen.

I have an e 8400 3.0 and 6 gigs of ram with no graphics yet. Ive ran diablotek to 5.0 ghz on water with my 8350. i just got a Thermaltake TR2-430w to hold me over until something happens. has a 6 pin, sure itll run a 560 or something

 

[Bobnova]

TR2-430 is, as a note, a horrid PSU.
It's a 250w unit on a good day, and a fire hazard on a bad day.

I recommend listening to the advice you're given.

Better buy it right freaking now. You'll never find anything better unless you let the moths out of your wallet.......big spender.

What was wrong with this one. 29.99$... 3 year warranty... 80+... EVGA makes decent equipment...

They might make other good quality stuff, but (most in not all) PSU companies outsource the manufacturing to other companies. The real question is: Who actually makes the PSU?
*hint* EVGA doesn't make it

 

[thatbonokid]

i just got that psu and 2 more towers for free.. so it works better than the 160 i had before.

 

[Bobnova]

It might. Or it might destroy everything attached to it.

 

[bob4933]

Maybe, but the real question is: Who actually makes the PSU?

Yeah but for 30 bucks, you;'re probably not gonna do better.

 

[Silver_Pharaoh]

Which is why we are recommending he spends more than a mere $30 on the most important part in any rig

kid, you are going all over the place! just because you were able to reach 5ghz with a diablotek power supply dosent mean its quality! ALMOST any power supply will work fine for CPU overclocking. NOT GPU OVERCLOCKING.

when did you get that psu?

and why do you mention that you got two cases for free?
