Is 600 Watts enough ?

[Desolation]

is a 600 watt ultra X4 pwoer supply enough to run this setup

asus m478t e mother board
Phenom 2 X4 955 oc 3.8
corsair dominator 4 gb oc 1600 mhz
3 hard drives 7200 rpm
1 optical drive
and a 5770 oc
and one set of cold cathode lights

feed back would be nice asap

600 watts is fine. But Ultra Power Supplies are crap and over-priced. If your shopping at TigerDirect get this.

Corsair TX650W 650-Watt Power Supply - ATX, 120mm Fan, SLI-Ready, SATA-Ready, 80Plus at TigerDirect.com

or you can pick it up at NewEgg

Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

I had a few Ultra Power Supplies, they all failed on me. Stay away from them.

600 watts is fine.

I agree about Ultra PSUs being bad. I had a pretty 500w green modular PSU back in the day, and it failed within 2 days. I ended up taking the guts out of it and replacing them with a 500watt generic PSU to make it modular =). It was fun to tinker with it.

I recommend Antec power supplies. They are usually very good quality. I have never used Corsair, but if Slaymate recommends them then they are probably pretty good too.

Antec is a good brand as well.

k so i just left my computer on while i slept and i woke up to a long high pitched beep really getting annoyed with this computer

 

[patonb]

a long pitch beep is a gpu issue usually.

You need to check your bsod errors and see if its a consistent error or random.

It could still be a psu power issue, but it might be gpu related.

 

[Desolation]

well m,y computer was off the second time the beep happened and it was coming threw the speakers and it started out low then would build up to a louder whine i think its either my mother board or power supply

and how do i check my BSOD error
