How reliable is the PSU &amp; does anybody know the name of the psu?

My PSU burned up when I turned it on for the first time. It's not a brand-name unit.

I don't believe it puts any load on the PSU, but not 100% sure, suggest you go to thermaltake website...

John, I'm sorry. It turns out that the problem with my computer was unrelated to the card. As for upgrading your PSU, I'm not sure if I would be able to give you useful advice.

Yes, right on the case - only problem I have had with mine is the power supply went out after about 3 wks (known issue with this pc) and they shipped a replacement which I got in 2 days - easy to swap out and send the bad one back.

It is a great psu I can say that, I cant remember excatly how many connectors it has. Im not sure what your card requires. But what it is running from me is an amd 8100 8 core. Overclocked to 4.2 ghz, corsair ht 100i, 2 gigabyte hd 7870s overclocled edition crossfired a 1tb hard drive, disc drive, 2 120mm fans 4 pin, 3 80 or 90 mm 3 pin fans and my asus motherdoard. I can say it runs all this amd has never shut down because of power usage like the psu I returned for this one did.i believe its actually made by seagate which is why I bought it. It top or bottom mounts and is quite which great for the amount of air the big ass fam moves. Could not be happier with this product. Sorry I hope this helps.

Pretty sure i got a year with mine, It's been a very solid PSU i bought mine back in September and it's been going great since.

If it is a good PSU like a Corsair, Seasonic or an Antec you will likely be fine. With a cheap PSU it will likely shut down your computer periodically at best and instantaneously at worst.

I have this unit and I love it. For me, it is quiet. But you need to look at the awesome warranty that comes with it. There were a few complaints reported on EVGA's forums regarding fan noise and the upper management said it was covered under that warranty. The PSU delivers both power and peace of mind with the warranty. It's a no brainer and Johnny Guru's review score of 9.7 out of 10 says the same.

there is no name on the PSU. Someone may know but when i bought it, my PSU came DOA. I had to send the whole case back, and ended up buying a different one. If you are buying it for the PSU and case together, I would reccomend another case, because this PSU is not reliable and I have heard that it has even caught on fire for some people. I bought an Imicro MATX case/psu combo and it has worked faithfully for 6 months.I would add that if you just want the case it is a great pickup for the price. Large, sturdy, roomy inside. Swap out the PSU and it is a good case. For a PSU and case combo go elsewhere. there is no name on the PSU. Someone may know but when i bought it, my PSU came DOA.

Im never a 100% So I always use PSU calculators and find out my systems watt consumption. But as far as connections, it should work as this is a fully modular PSU. You can Google PSU calculators to help you guess how much you'll need. I always go a little over what they suggest incase you want to add stuff later and to be safe in case there is any fluctuation in power

I have a 700 Watt power supply and haven't had any issues. New Egg though helped me choose what was right for my system, the only thing was that Amazon had it cheaper.

I've got a Corsair 520-HX comming with the 8600GTS - should have added that to the earlier post. The ONLY good thing about the stock PSU is that it's quiet. I haven't had too much time to mess with it - had shoulder surgery a few days before I received it.

No, I do not. I bought it for a friend and will try to find out. I think that I actually ended up with a similar but more powerful power supply.

4, I believe. Though I strongly do not recommend this brand as this psu is very unreliable.

If it works with your motherboard, I recommend it for its conservative ratings and stable outputs. See [H]ardOCP's PSU reviews on Seasonic. Good through testing there and Seasonic X series do very well.Powers my i7 to 4.5 GHz with 32 GB of RAM and two gtx 580 over clocked SLI cards all watercooled.

Yes definitely, and if you don't trust me or anyone else here, go to pcpartpicker.com and put in all the parts to see the estimated wattage. This PSU has 80% bronze efficiency so you should leave around 150W just to be safe.

Depends on the PSU brand. Dont buy cheap. I have a Rosewill Xtreme Series 750W 80 PLUS Certified Power Supply RX750-S-B that cant push it. Just got my card in a couple days ago and have a new PSU being overnighted to me. Seasonic X-850(SS-850KM Active PFC F3) 850W 80 Plus Gold ATX12V/EPS12V Power Supply.
