View Full Version : Can my PSU handle this load?
I have an "Eagle" 400W psu that came w/ my case.
So far in my pc
Asus A8V deluxe
Athlon xp 3000+ 939
1gb hyperx (512x2)
6800nu
60gb maxtor
160gb wd
winfast tv tuner deluxe
1 lite on cdrw
i'm thinking about adding one more 160gb hd.
think my psu will choke?

personally to me that is a little low. But it'll work, but the better question is do you feel lucky? That is not the best PSU, and what happens if it decides to die and it takes out your mobo or your ram?

It's a Deer... I would replace it. Fortron/Sparkle FSP400-60THN or AX500-A or the 550w units, Seasonic S12 over 430w, OCZ over 420w, or Enermax Noisetaker over 470w should do just fine.

Ya grab a new psu...
Generic psu's will not hold up to that and then it will end up killing your parts...
For a new one go with a high qulity psu with high amps and 450w++ I would go with an OCZ POWERSTREAM 520 WATT
