Specs:
Supermicro PDSBA
Intel Xeon X3220
8GB RAM
PSU Hiper 530W

PSU Specs:
5V (± 5%) 2.0A - 34A
+12V 1 (± 5%) 1.0A - 20A
+12V 2 (± 5%) 1.0A - 17A
-12V (± 10%) 0A - 0.8A
+5VSB (± 5%) 0 - 2.5A
+3.3V (± 5%) 0.5 - 30A

Is this PSU enough to run a GTX760? EVGA lists the minimum requirements as "500 watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 30 amps on the +12 volt rail." I have a total of 37 amps on the 12V rail but that's across two rails. Am I still okay to run a 760?

I realize that this card is overkill for that system but I am getting it as a way of future proofing for when I upgrade the rest of the computer. I am getting a new card now since the caps on my old card exploded.

Thanks in advance,
Roman

Also, it only has one 6-pin PCIe connector. Is it okay to use a splitter?

Thanks,
Roman
