400W sufficient for a HD 4670?

[crazyguy_60]

can i power this Palit HD 4670 with a 400W PSU?

ATI Radeon™ HD 4600 System Requirements

400 Watt or greater power supply (550 Watt for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode) is recommended

ATI Radeon™ HD 4600 System Requirements

That being said, what else are you powering with your 400w PSU and what is your +12v amperage?
If it is a low end POS PSU, I would highly recommend upgrading to a quality Corsair, PCP&C, Seasonic, Enermax or Antec Earthwatts PSU.

The link from above is broken.
Here is the propper link.

Sure

Now if you got other junk in the computer like cpu and such it might not.

Spec out your system, then we can be of further help.

Actually, the link worked fine for me.

Well, it will probably work for a while.
I would highly recommend upgrading it with either an Antec Earthwatts 430w[/b or Corsair 450w.

The problem with 98%+ of these no name ultra cheap PSUs is that they way over inflate their capabilities and use very cheap components. The PSU is something you NEVER want to skimp on as when a cheap one fails, there is a high probability that it will surge voltage into your system and kill other components.

I'm running my ZOTAC 8800GT AMP Edition on a 380 Watt PSU if that helps out.

 

[invisik]

it should run fine.

I run an MSI R4670 in a Dell Dim E510 Pent D-805, 2 GB RAM, and extra HD on an oem 305W PSU without problems. I play BF2 on med settings at 1024X768 or 800X600 no problem. No meltdown or explosions yet.
