Dan Poole Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hi Guys, I was wondering what the appropriate PSU wattage would be for this hackintosh: CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz MOBO: Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L Intel Mainboard HD: Seagate Barracuda 750GB 7200RPM DVD: Pioneer DVR-216 SATA DVD Re-Writer 20x RAM: Corsair DDR2 4GB PC-6400/800 INTERNET: Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter CASE: NZXT Lexa Blackline Case I was thinking about getting either the APEVIA Java 500W Power Supply for $75 AUD or the Antec NeoPower 550W $121 AUD. I'd prefer to get the cheaper 500W one...but will get another instead if I need it. Do I need MORE than 550W?

MacUser2525 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Really? I'm very sorry! Yeah you should be in the hardware section I would say anyways back to your question 550w should do you and since I have never heard of Apevia go with Antec they make quality power supplies. They may cost more but you get good clean power from them which is after all the most important thing for longevity of your machine. Just for your reference I just put my Kill-A-Watt meter on my rig Q6600, four hard drives, 8800gt, 8GB of ram it was saying 221w being drawn from the plug in the wall.
