Is this power supply enough for my system?

[yetyhunter]

My specs:Asus
- P5N-D
- E8400
- 8800 GTS 512
- 2 GB ram
- 1 HDD 7200 rpm and 1 dvd drive
- 2 case fans
- and this power supply http://en.toppreise.ch/desc_124859.html
600 watts xilence.

Can It handle another 8800 GTS 512?

 

[Nik_I]

it should, but i would suggest buying from a more reputable company.

 

[yetyhunter]

And if it's not enough can my system be damaged?

No, it'll just crush at high load. And yes, the psu is enough, with ample headroom.

It has ample room on paper, that is.

If it's crappy quality, you'll know when sparks fly out of the back of it.

If faulty, a 1200w psu will do the same. That's just not the point.

 

[yetyhunter]

Will it be able to run 2 8800 GTS 512? I think it's good quality because it's made in germany .Germans make good stuff. Here is the official site:

So it will not damage my hardware. It will just crash to desktop and saying ....... stopped responding error?

Yes, or possibly reboot completely. But unless the psu is defective, it shouldn't damage hardware.

Ok thx. The PSU is not defectiv i've been using it for over 8 months now and had no problems with it . But could it run 2 8800 GTS 512 with a 31A +12v rail?

31amps on a single 12v rail is low for 2 g92 8800gts, although it may be enough. But that's cutting it close.

I found this on the EVGA site:

Requirements
Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 26 Amp Amps.)
Minimum 450 Watt for SLI mode system.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 30 Amp Amps.)
An available 6 pin PCI-E power connector (hard drive power dongle to PCI-E 6 pin adapter included with card)
It should be enough because I have only 1 HDD and 1 DVD drive.Not a power hungry system. What do you guys think???

 

[yetyhunter]

Will it run 2 8800 GTS 512 or not ?

It might, but be prepared to get a new psu if it turns out to not be enough. A more typical 600w psu will easily handle it. But yours is a pretty bad one with low 12v rail ampage.
