I HAVE 9800GT CARD MODEL NOV-T98G-YMF3.I WANT A SMPS FOR .SUGGEST ANY IN MID &HIGH BUDGETS.
NOTE:
I HAVE 80GB PATA HARD DISC .SO THE SMPS SHOULD HAVE PATA CONNECTER.my card does not have 6-pin connecter.WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE POWER FLOWING THROUGH THE 6 PIN CONNECTER IN A SMPS
intel dual core processor
2 gb ram
1 80 gb pata hard disc
xfx 9800 gt 512 mb card
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO 12V RAIL CT.WILL THE SUPPLY TO 6 PIN CONNECTER BE USED FOR OTHER DEVICES.
ACTUALLY IN MY GRAPHICS CARD BOX THEY HAVE QUOTED 550W WITH MIN 40A IN 12V RAIL
^ Oh boy...that is insane power requirements for a 9800GT...
Actually you can run 9800GT SLI with a 550W PSU...Maybe that is what they are saying ?
For a single 9800GT, select either the Antec EA 380W or Corsair 400CX...It would be enough for your PC...
And I have not seen other components using that PCIe 6 pin power...
If your card does not have a auxiliary 6-pin power connector, then the card will get the power from the pci-e slot only.
The simple answer is if a quality PSU has a 6 pin pci-e connector, it will deliver sufficient power to run the connector, along with a normal complement of other components. Such a PSU can be expected to be able to deliver the standard 75w to the pci-e slot also. Almost every psu has only one source of 12v power which it distributes among all the 12v leads.
