I'm looking at either a corsair 750w TX or an ePower Zumax 850W to power 4 8800gt's. the corsair is a single rail and the Zumax is 4 rail.
will either of these do just fine? this is a dedicated folder only, no gaming. 1 hdd, 2x2gb sticks of 1000mhz and a Q6600 with liquid cooling.
what do you think?
TIA
Mr. $cary
welcome to XS, I'd choose the corsair over the epower.

Thanx, after all the reading, that's which way i'm going!

is a 750w psu really enough to power a q6600 and four 8800 gt at full load 24/7? just asking, i have no idea how much such a rig will consume
1. Asus P5Q-E / Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @~3612 MHz (8,5x425) / 2x2GB OCZ Platinum XTC (PC2-8000U, CL5) / EVGA GeForce GTX 570 / Crucial M4 128GB, WD Caviar Blue 640GB, WD Caviar SE16 320GB, WD Caviar SE 160GB / be quiet! Dark Power Pro P7 550W / Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000BWA / LG L227WT / Teufel Concept E Magnum 5.1 // SysProfile
2. Asus A8N-SLI / AMD Athlon 64 4000+ @~2640 MHz (12x220) / 1024 MB Corsair CMX TwinX 3200C2, 2.5-3-3-6 1T / Club3D GeForce 7800GT @463/1120 MHz / Crucial M4 64GB, Hitachi Deskstar 40GB / be quiet! Blackline P5 470W
should be, i used the calculator and it's a 650W, and that's a high estimate. i probably won't have everything i put in to it hooked up. with the 50W TX being a single rail, it should do the trick! we'll see.

Is anything going to be overclocked? You also need to factor in the pump and extra fans.

i would say, it should.
Is the quad folding as well?

I don't really know why someone would waste money on a 24/7 folding machine.

Waste of money? Not even close
pretty much if it just sits there sucking power, only productive to someone else. if it was for a company who needed the processing power, no, not a waste. but just folding proteins? a waste.Waste of money? Not even close

Do you know what folding does at all? Not a waste one bit.
Yea I kind of agree, what advancements to medicine/treatments has folding brought? I might be in ignorance, but in my opinion it just heats up your house and sucks power. And the Corsair for sure, they are solid units.

yes, I do know what it does. "POTENTIALLY cures cancer through better understanding of how proteins fold and where the errors that cause cancer come from". I've no problem with folding in general, say with a PC that's not in use, but building one specifically for that, is a COMPLETE and UTTER waste of money.
Folding has brought nothing to the medical community, so for now, it's just a nice idea.

There, I fixed it. Nothing that couldn't have been done through other research.
Like I said. The idea is great, building a rig to suck power and solely do this, is not.
And for the actual question: Corsair FTW.
