I have an 350W Liteon PSU (PS-6351-3F).

+5V -> 22A max; +5V(SB) -> 2A max; +12V-1 -> 14A max, +12V-2 -> 15A max, -12V -> 0,3A max; +3,3V -> 17A max

Do you think that my PSU could handle an Evga 7900 GS KO? or an MSI X1950XT 256Mb?

Rest of my system: AMD 64 3400+; 2*Hard drive (both 250Gb,7200RPM); 2*512 ddr2; DVD-RW and a DVD-ROM Drive.

Ok, but you said this in a nother thread regarding also a Evga 7900 Gs KO...

... You need a PSU that can supply no less then about 22A to 24A on the combined +12v rails. ...



and my PSU can do that, 14A + 15A = 29A if you can count it like that :roll: I don't now much about PSU's, so no offence meant, I just want to clear this up.

Have you read the sticky about PSU's?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817194003.

I'm too lazy to figure out the voltage in some formula but I do have that GPU and I went with a 500w PSU. No problems yet. I think one of the problems you will face is that the card is already overclocked out of the box. So as soon as you start pushing your card, you would be trying to push an eighteen wheeler with a little four cylinder car.

If I was a betting man and were to bet on your system lasting with that 350W PSU, then I would bet your system wouldn't last long. But hey, what do I know.
