I don't think that there will be a CoolCurrent with more then 450Watt. There is no need for it. Every normal System cant run with less thenm 450Watt.

450W = overkill :

i´m running a AMD64-3200+ system with an ATI 9800pro, 2 optical drives, harddisk, waterpump etc with an old 350W enermax and there is still power to spare

even 400W-PSUs are way over the top... and the new GF-6800 cards may have two power connectors, but the power intake is not that high
they only need the double feed to have a stable voltage

i´d reckon even a 300W-PSU would suffice for up-to-date systems as long as it´s good quality!

I red somewhere that for the new cards 350 Watt is a minimal but 420 is recommended. I also think that it is good to be prepared for the future (especially with such an expensive psu).

Well, 350W is not equal 350W. I think the grapic card need the power from the 12V-Bus. You have to look in the manual of your PSU. Enermax are very powerful on this bus.

a few month ago I had i defekt PSU. so I ran a AMD 64 3000+, 2 Hard disks,2Optical devices,a radeon 9600 ViVo and some other kards like Soundcard etc. with a high quality psu which had only 230W, because I dind't have enaugh money to buy a new one
it doesn't matter how many W a psu is said to have, but how many W it really has.

Still, it would be nice to have a >450W PSU since my Xeon board requires at least 450W running 2 2.8 Xeon CPUs. Add a GF6800 or X800 to that and you see the need for it.

Not for me, MPEG encoding is 90% faster with 2 CPUs compared to 1 CPU.

Hm.. do you have an MPEG Factory or what? It takes me about 2h to encode one movie. that's fast enough for me

nvidia may recommend a 350 watts psu for their new cards...

...but amd said the same about their processors some years back then. the system said above can even run with a 250 watts psu. the recommendations are referring to noname psus.

the coolcurrent has more power to offer than you will need in conceivable future...

Still if a 450+ Watt PSU would be available I would buy it directly. Is there any chance this will happen in the future?
