hello all I would like to ask you if my PSU will handle 4870. I wont OC graphic card or/and CPU My Power Supply Unit is Tagan TG480-U22 (480W, 30Amps on +12V rail) 1 x Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 1 x Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi AP 4 x 1GB Patriot DDR2 667MHz LLK (CL4) 2 x 320GB HDD SATA 7200rpm Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 8MB Cache 1 x Creative X-fi Xtreme Music 1 x DVDRW DL NEC 1 x DVD 16x LG Thermaltake Tsunami with 2x 120mm fan (one with led light) + 1x 92mm fan 1 x FDD in addition some USB 2.0 and firewire 400 stuff (keyboard, mouse, camera etc). thx for any replays
I think its border line hehe I ran into all kinds of problems trying to run my crossfire setup with a dual rail 500 watts 18 amps on the +12V rails I would give it a try and see if its stable
Srsly, half of the "new" posts on this forum are all repeats because people can't be bothered to "search" or "browse".
I doubt it would work with 30A on the 12v rail? Doesn't he need 32? There's more than just a graphics card running in a computer system, you know.
