not talking about the rig in my sig, it was a Tagan unit. Seems it may have its best days over, since its 3 years old and has been folding since. I tryed an even greater stress on my Seasonic S12 Energy+ 550W. Q6600 @ 4GHz 1,45V, 2x2GB DDR2, P45 mobo, OCed 9600GT @ 900/2400 1,4V/2.2V, 320gb hdd, lots of fans and a WC pump. This 80+ efficient unit pulled about 450W, 40-45W less power than the Tagan, and its 12V line went from 12,06V to 12,02V. Mighty impressed after all
Sure, it's no problem for decent PSUs. Tagan usually aren't...
Your PSU should be Seasonic, FSP/Fortron, Enermax or CWT based these days.
I say based because lots of good quality PSUs use these, like the Corsair HX uses Seasonic etc.
I would also like to say that my Liberty 500watt is powering:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ @ 3.5Ghz
2GB DDR2 @ DDR2-1000
Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe WiFi
eVGA GeForce 9800GTX overclocked around 10%
Triple 250GB SATAII 7200rpm 16MB Cache Hard Drives (2 Maxtor & 1 Seagate)
Creative X-Fi Platinum w/ Front Panel
DVD-Rom and DVD Burner
and about 4 120mm fans
I have be able to play UT3 while converting a movie on the other core without any problems.
