50Watts Short, safe???

lol...i know this seems to be odd but my case tht i have is completely rigged up with fans, so ive added up all the fan powerr requiremnts and MOBO, GPU,CPU so on a forth and it seems to add up to exactly 600Watts, whcich happens to be 50 watts off, well about 47 or something lol.

Is this safe or should i get a new PSU just for the sake of it???:confused:

Hmm 50 watts under you mean? Me thinks you're already pushed the limits of that psu. My suggestion would be something with 650w just to be on the safe side.

Gibbo,

Depends on what you are using for your sources for power consumption for your peripherals. Most people overcalculate their requirements by using online calculators. Look at my rig and take a guess what my power needs are in watts. I have a very good idea what it actually is.

Might help to post all your hardware, especially your graphics card(s).

list your specs. i highly doubt you are running an actual 600 watts. that would take some pretty serious hardware
