Will This Power Supply Do The Job?

[Setsukos]

I bought it because its with rebate and promo code and I'm on a budget. The system details are in my sig.

I'm alittle concerned that one reviewer said it has low voltage... will this thing run fine on the setup?

Its only 400W BUT its has more amps on the 12V rails.

12v1 = 16A
12v2 = 18A

that only is only 14/15

Welcome to O/C Forums

It'll do the job, but if you decide to get a higher end video card it won't handle it. I would'nt expect an extreme overclock with it either. The trick to finding what psu works best for you is pretty simple. If you're going SLI then you get a dual 12v rail psu with a combined amperage of 36a or better ( 18a X2). If you're going to stick with a single video card, then you'll want a single 12v rail psu with 30a or better.


Also I would'nt expect a high overclock with that unitas it will underpower the system during heavy loads (gaming and such) and you'll wind up with reboots and BSOD's.

Sometimes getting a super deal isn't worth it. Maybe you should check out the sticky located Here for more info on what psu works best for your setup/budget.

Thanks for the replies. I went with it because I didnt want to go with the 500w Raidmax PSU that came with the case and it would only be for a few months.

I plan later to get a 600w OCZ.

As long as it will handle everything fine for now I'm happy. I got it $30 shipped

The one thing to remember is not to skimp out on the power supply. Hopefully that psu will hold you over till you get a better one. I'd hate to see your rig suffer instabilities due to it.
