That sounds scary..

hi guys, quick question about HDD power consumption:

i'm planning to buy a new hard disk.. minimum 1TB. probably Caviar series.

Currently I have 2 hdds in my PC, with a GTX650 Ti Boost, 4GB ram and an i5 Lynnfield 2.8GHz processor, powered by a Corsair TX650 PSU.

is it safe for me to add another HDD without compromising system stability (power wise)?

many apologies if this seems to be a stupid question. I just want to be sure.. thanks many many thanks in advance!

Nothing to worry about mate. Your PSU is even capable of powering up an AMD R9 290X.

really? cool, thanks!

need a new hard disk after 6+ years of usage. damn games are really hdd hoggers these days.

The HDD as secondary drive bro? SSD don't want?

RM271?? where are your location?seems overpriced.

Better G-550..

Hey guys. Just want to confirm. Im using this 500w PSU. Does it enough to power up Zotac GTX760? The rest of component state in my Intel sig.

Nvidia stated recommended is 500w. Zotac state 600w. Googling and some say can, some say otherwise. Need clarification from sifus.
Thanks.

Yes.It can.

i simply pick 1 in garage sales only

28 ringgit more can already get you Seasonic S12II 80+ Bronze 620W.. Better.

Look for FSP Raider 550W or 650W which costs RM225 and RM259 respectively.Much more better with 80+ Silver rated efficienccy..

my current rig is using Gigabyte Odin Pro 800w.... it's been 5 years already

few moths later i planning to upgrade to haswell.... i7 4770k or the new i7 4790k

should i use back the same psu or get a new and better psu ?

Lol... thinking to get semi modular previously i use gigabyte 550w those cable very messy in my case >_<

if want semi get this. Golden Green HX600W Gold 80+ Modular - RM299

You can use back the PSU if there's no major problem..
