Hey i want to ask something, please help me. I have a 480w psu by power up brand. I also have intel pentium 3.0 Ghz. Do you think that i could use gtx 750ti? On the psu label it says +12v - 10A. I said this because a lot of guys talk about this. Please help me , thanks

Hello... There are Power supply's with all kinds of Voltages and current ratings... each designed for a 'different" purpose and the equipment they are to safely run... yours has "alot" of 5Vdc current and very low+12Vdc current... typically modern CPU and GPU's need alot of +12Vdc current from the power supply.

Because of Safe operation and electrical design practice, using your current PS SPECs with your needs would not be recommended... but it all depends on your personal opinion and the right to 'freedom of choice" and how you conduct yourself or like to "live on the edge". A power supply failure can do damage to your other components in the Computer... and sometimes Not... I have seen it both ways. B /

As a "example" of what I...

Hello... THX great Pic... well the CPU and GPU need the +12Vdc Rail... and you have a "Special" ATX power supply with a lot of Extra 5Vdc current and very Low +12Vdc current and only 120 watts available there. B (

your Video card choice will need 60 watts of that http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+750+Ti

And depending on the CPU model you could be over your PS electrical rating... so I recommend up grading the PS with one that has more +12Vdc current to it... sorry for the bad news... that PS is made for another application than you want to use it for B /

Wait, what do you mean by special? And is it still possible to use gtx 750ti? Because i ever seen someone who has the same condition as i do using the gtx 750ti for a year and not having any problem. I saw it in this forum also. Im a little bit confuse :D

As a "example" of what I mean about "special" here... here is a typical(popular) PS that people would buy for a CPU and GPU computer combination, you can clearly see the amount of +12Vdc current this Power Supply is Designed/built for... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438053

You will not need that much for a GTX750 TI and your CPU model... typically double your GPU and CPU wattage/current needs for safe operation. B )
