My Kingwin 1200watt died.
I had to go get a PSU asap to continue gaming and the only place to get one around here was Staples.
I'm trying to figure out if this Antec bp550plus can Safely run my 9800 gtx+ in SLi.
The PSU has 12v rail one 22amp 12v rail two 22amp and 12v rail three at 25 amp.
Its saying max combined wattage from all 3 rails is 444. How do they get this number?
25 x12 =-300
22x12 etc ....It doesn't add up.
444/12 is 37 amp right?
Btw from charts I've seen the actual amp draw on the 9800gtx+ is only 10.5 amp at max load. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-radeon-power,2122-6.html
Nvidia says 24 amp. I understand they are over stating for the usual reasons.
So since I am thinking the real amp limit is 37, running 9800gtx+ in sli with a Core i5 760 one Sata drive and 8gb ram on like 2 fans I should be fine.
I have been running this for a few days at all seems well under full load in benchmarking and gaming.
What do u guys think?
