I really don't think that it is. However, why don't you just go find a PSU calculator and check it out for yourself. Plus, even if it is you are right on the line which means for sure no overclockin.

It should. Depends how old it is. You have 18amps per 12v rail, and a healthy 34 on both 12v. I like the 34 part, but the 18 is a lil weak. If its old, maybe not. Itll probly just get it done. I have a 425 enermax, with 18 per rail, and mine is only 29 combined, and I drive a 1900xt 512 with a opty 185. It works, but no raid for me
