I'm looking for a new PSU. With your PSU i noticed that you had a case vent precisely where the PSU fan would go. With my case, I only have the mounting area in the back, and a static side vent. The mounting area for my PSU is also at the top of the case, so that the bottom fan would be pulling air from inside the computer. Do you think the side vent would be enough to provide air to the fan?

[davomrmac]

@JBrazosCole Well, if I understand your question correctly, I think the fan on your PSU needs to face some holes or venting on the outside of the case, it should not face the inside of the case. Side on against vent holes should be fine.

@davomrmac is the 650 version enough for phenom x4 955 overclock to 3.8 or 4gh, 4gb gskill ddr3, sappire 6850, 1tb hd(eventualy 2 in raid or a ssd)

[davomrmac]

@Ryd3r22 Should be just, though I would always go one up in case you add something later.

[Ryd3r22]

@davomrmac would the 750 hx fit fine in the 912?

[davomrmac]

@Ryd3r22 Really not sure, you need to check physical dimensions on manufacturers website.

if i get a 1200w power supply but my computer only uses about 900w(for example) will this effect anything or not, if so what will it effect.

Heya buddy! =D Nice to meet you and thanks for taking the time to share this! =)

First off, many compliments--anyone ever told you you favor the DJ known a Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim of Brighton? XD Anyway! =3

Quick question whenever you can answer m8. =3

I got a 750w TX750... thing could probably connect 3 or 4 MAINFRAME computers up as many wires as it has... Should I send this back for HX?

TX is is in an orange box not blue like yours... and doesn't work for my computer ...

@gt5fx Yes, it is 850W, so plenty.
