I'm searching for software that measures power consumption.
I want to buy a Radeon 9800 PRO from a friend of mine...and i am not sure if my power supply can handle it.In the manual it says that a minimum 300W power supply is needed.I have a Chieftec 300W...but i'm also worried about the mountain of components that i have in my comp.
CPU Athlon 2800+(Barton)
MB Gigabyte 7VAXP Skt A
Video Ati Radeon 9000PRO(current)
HDD 2XWD 40GB(each) 7200rpm in RAID
Optical Plextor CD/RW
Lots and lots of coolers(about 7):P
Power supply Chieftec 300W
So....can i use the 9800>?If you know any software that measures power consumption...pls tell me.I want to test the card before i buy...
