781438 2009-06-11 10:09:00 I have a Enermax 525W 2x12V 22 which add up to 34A wondering that would have enough power for a 4870, plannin on geting a quad core which uses 140W termz (13320)
781439 2009-06-11 10:23:00 Yeah, should be no problem. The system in my sig only uses up to 300W during peak times. qazwsxokmijn (102)

781442 2009-06-11 21:38:00 That PSU would easily power it.

That calculator that qaz recommended is if you get a proper PSU, not the generic crap BTW

Enermax is great:)

781443 2009-06-12 05:07:00 sweet so im all gud only 380W on full peak with 4870 and quad core no chance of damaging it termz (13320)
781444 2009-06-12 06:07:00 Won't damage it, just wouldn't boot. pctek (84)
781445 2009-06-12 11:15:00 I thought it was fun, so I tried on my computer as well... The result turned out as 181W?! I thought my graphic card's manual said "a minimum of 300W"!
