Hi all,

I just bought a this card: Gigabyte GTS 250 OC GV-N250OC-1GI
It's the OC'ed model (or so they say..), that comes coupled with a Zalman cooler..

The power requirements for this card are a 450W PSU, however I have an Enermax Liberty 400W (ELT400AWT) PSU - would this PSU hold, or do I really need a new one?

Rest of my rig is:
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 REV3.3
Inter Core 2 Duo S775 2.4GHz(E6600) 1066MHz/FSB 4MB
Twinmos 2048MB (1024X2) DDR2 800MHz CL5
Kingston 2048 (2048X1) DDR2 800Mhz CL6
WD 250GB 16MB SATA2 7200 RPM - WD2500KS
Gigabyte Poseidon tower case aluminum - black - GZ-XA1CASTB
Enermax Liberty 400W - ELT400AWT
Sunbeam Tuniq tower 120mm

Thanks!
DF

You shouldn't have any problems with that PSU.
