The second time, when he made the 'normal' comment, chose not to continue being a silent victim of his bogus attacks. Since he had no defense or justification for his statement, he responded with another attack.

The first time, the 'ridiculous' comment, I choose to let it go and responded with objective reason, simply asking him to explain. I can't see how you can say telling someone that they 'might as well be normal' is not 'personally insulting' or of a 'derogatory nature'. When I responded very civilly and asked him to explain, he could not explain or support his comment, but instead said 'You might as well be normal and not think like that.' A clear personal insult and abusive statement. He did not simply disagree with what I had suggested, he said it was 'ridiculous'. I'm allowed to give my opinion just like any other member as long as I adhere to the forum rules. If you don't like it, so be it, but to suggest I am attacking you is far fetched at best. I simply gave my opinions on your comments which is again, well within forum rules. The fact it appears one-sided is unintentional, assuming you even feel that's the case? I assume that is how you view it given the fact you think I'm 'attacking' you. I mearly gave my opinion based on what I read, based on my experiences. HK has also apologised for offending you, so I consider it dealt with. This however is as always, open to personal interpretation, and if you feel it warrants it, report the posts and I'll let another member of the team deal with it. It definitely could have been worded better, but he wasn't swearing, and I saw no derogatory comments made of an offensive nature. While HK's choice of words were questionable, he was not personal insulting you in a manner I deem to be agressive, or personally insulting. If you feel something is offensive report it, then a member of the team can deal with it appropriately.Дў. Your both back and forth between each other, and to be perfectly frank with you, you are responding back at him, making you both as bad as each other. You retaliated in this and another thread. Thats not to say one is worse than the other (assuming the same end result is achieved) - they're just different.ДЎ. We all have slightly different ways of coming to the same conclusions. It is also often said that the cheaper PSU's peak wattage rates are conservative at best, and really not reliable when pushed hard either. It is also worth noting that cheap PSU's can also deliver very poor power under load. Without a dedicated test kit, or hardware reviews identical to the system your trying to calculate, I draw on the knowledge learnt here and elsewhere online.

I find a much more effective way is find out the peak W/A readings of a GPU, and then factor in the overhead for the system, plus a percentage of 'headroom'. Sure its fine if your just paying attention to the total peak power consumption of a GPU(s) in Watts, or its peak current in Amps, but its not a good way of calculating the whole power consumption system wide. That in my honest opinion is a bad way of calculating things. Your method assumes the test system is identical to the OP's system. So while I would buy a different PSU if I were building a new system, I would not pay the added cost if I already had yours since it does provide ample total power, has a good allocation to the 12v circuit, and has Active PFC. One item many low priced brands leave out is Active Power Factor Correction - which I and many consider a basic protection in any PSU. I said I would not buy the brand of PSU you have as there are better brands with better quality builds including better components and longer warranties. On the link above, the PSU part is about half way down the page. Your PSU provides good power allocation to the 12v cicuit.ДЇor more information explaining power requirements for video cards, and other helpful information about upgrading, check out this site: So besides considering total power, when upgrading grading video cards, one must also evaluate if it provides enough power for the 12 volt circuit. But newer or better PSUs provide a higher allocation to the 12v circuit because of the increased requirements for video card. In the 'older' days, video cards did not need much power and most of the power was allocated to the 5v circuit. The graphics card, and the CPU, use 12v power. The power coming out of the PSU to your components is split into 3 different levels - 3.3v, 5v, and 12v. So a good 400w PSU should provide ample power. The benchmarks in the article show a test system with HD 6850 requiring 260 watts at peak load - see the second chart on the page linked above. Sorry I left out the link in my post above (but now have edited it in).
