PSU for 8800GTX

phantasm · 11-25-06, 08:03 PM

SO after reading the specs for the 8800GTX it says it requires 2 6 pin power adapters capable of carrying 28A on the 12V rail. The OCZ GameXtream 700W carries 18A on the 12V rail.

Is the 28A spec combined for both plugs or is that supposed to be individually?

if the gamextreme can't handle that thing. theres no point in buying it.

(yes it is 18x2= i can't do mental math.. sry)

its just a suggestion. it can handle it. a 500 watt can handle it.

Cool thanks. So basically in using the GameXtream you would have 36A effectively leaving you with 8A on the combined rails.
