Hallo is the GIGABYTE ODIN 585W 24-Pin Power Supply enough to run the Leadtek GeForce GTX260 Core216,896Mb? Im thinking of buying the GTX 260.

My current pc specs are:
Intel Core2duo CPU 6700 2.66GHz
4 gb ram ddr800
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512mb
Intel Westchester Board
3 hard drives
585W PSU

My PC is runnig fine as it is now. No Problems.

Can't find any info on the 585 watt model, I would think it should be fine for a 260.
I've got a 550 watt Odin GT coming in the next day or 2 , with intent to put it in the machine in my sig. It's a bit of a downgrade from my Corsair 620, but something to play with since it has the software and sensors for temps, fan speeds and power use.

Thanx. uhm. I notice that the 260 card has place at the back for 2 power connectors and my current 8800 has only 1 connector and so does my power supply, cant i use some sort of plug to convert so that i have an extra power cable for the 260 card?

Like I said , I couldn't find any info on the 585 watt Gigabyte, the 550 watt that I'm waiting on includes 2 pcie connectors.
Power adapters usually come in the box with the card, so that shouldn't be a problem, if you have a couple of free molex connectors on the psu.
Can you list the +12v output of your psu ?

34 amps on the 12v rail. Don't worry we can read it.
BTW 34 amps is a lot. Enough for your 8800GT.

As romulus said, we can read it. ( romulus, slow down a little buddy )
34 amps should be enough for your configuration including a new GTX260.
I received and installed the 550 watt (41 amp) Gigabyte power supply into the overclocked machine in my sig, and have been messing with the included Power Tuner software for a couple of days.
According to it my machine's peak power draw ( running Orthos and Furmark ) is 345 watts, not all of that is 12v power and if it was , would be about 29 amps.
All you can do is give it a go, if it doesn't work ( I think it will ) you'll need to upgrade the psu.
