Desktop power supply to graphics card

lexie99 · Nov 28, 2016

I'm buying a new graphics card for my PC and I was told the match was compatible. Upon further investigating the requirements of the graphics card I found out that my desktops wattage supply (300) is lower than what the graphics card requests (350).

I don't want to strain my PC but can someone tell me if 50 watts too little would be that big of a deal? Here is the desktop and graphics card.

Does your power supply have a 6-pin PCIe power connection? If it does, it may run. It should not damage things even if it does not run, you may just end up with a system that does not boot till you remove the card and upgrade the power supply.

I'm not sure if it has that, but all of the specs of my pc are listed in the link provided under "specs." I'm not the most knowledgeable about this stuff and I didn't see anything about a 6-pin PCIe power connection.

So open the computer and look to see if it has one. Probably not, but it may.

You can find a decent PSU for about $40 or less after rebates if you want to make sure the system and card are stable.

This is $30 now after rebate but only for 3 more hours. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817139146
