Need some advice
My system C2D E6550 Intel G33 mainboard 2x 1GB DDR2 RAM 2 hard disk, 2 fan I currently have an Acbel 450W PSU Combined 12v rail output 25 Amps Can that PSU take a 9800GT or 9800GTX+ on my system ? I think the 98 GTX+ pulls about 13-14 amps, but I'm not sure how much amps the other components use on the 12v rail.. and also how good this Acbel PSU is, though it does weight heavy and cost my RM300 plus when I bought it some time ago. Thank you  |

First of all, thanks for the replies
QUOTE(yehlai @ Nov 26 2008, 02:09 PM) Its easy, you can calculate the power consume by your h/w and then look for a PSU that have a sufficient 12V rail output for you. You mean, most of the system power is being used from the 12v rails?I have update the calculation on 1st page C2D E6550 Intel G33 mainboard 2x 1GB DDR2 RAM 2 hard disk, 2 fan 9800GT or 9800GTX+ Your current PSU 12V output is 300W, if your setup need more than that, then you need to change to a higher output PSU. Simple as that  http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp  |
