Will the MSI N430GT run on a 240w power supply?

[barron14]

I bought the MSI N430GT today when I was ment to buy the 430GT. I was told by people that the 430gt would run on my 240w power supply but the N430gt has different performance compared to the 430gt : http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/MSI-N430GT-MD1GD3-OC-LP-Video-Card-Review/1144 .

I need help A.S.A.P. can someone please tell me before I bring it back to the shop ??

But are the same GPUs but you need a 300W minimum for run that GPU. 300W from a good PSU from a good manufacturer.

So it would not be reccomended to use it ? But the 430Gt can run on a 240w power supply and I think thats 300w minimum aswell. Thats why I am confused

But if the 430gt would run on a 240w power supply , I dont understand why the N430gt wont run on a 240w , they both say 300w minimum

N430GT and 430GT ARE the same GPU, the N at the beginning of the 1st one only means that is powered by nVidia chipset. MSI always does that with nVidia GPUs.

Thermal and Power Specs:
Maximum GPU Temperature (in C) 98 C
Maximum Graphics Card Power (W) 49 W
Minimum Recommended System Power (W) 300 W
