WEll good luck, it should work for atleast a day or a month, but I wouldn't run it on mine.

I havent even heard of "HEC" before. The specs look ok on paper but who knows what the components are like on the inside. Your better off going with known brand names. Seasonic, Antec, Corsair, PCP&C, Thermaltake just to name a few.

HEC is junk and they come with HEC cases, I gave them a chance and there not even good enough for onboard video, for very long.

I've heard different and on nvidia's website HEC is one of the recommended brands i see ppl running the 8800GTS 640mb with no problem for years

HEC used to make the old Antec power supplies.
