HD 5670 on a 275W psu?

[pinpoint]

hi,

just wondering is an HD 5670 will run ok on a 275W psu?

i have been told that it will be fine, scene as how it doesnt need any extra power connector and takes its power steaight from the pci-e slot.


thanks in advance

Changes are that it will work if the PSU has a strong +12 volt rail

It may work, but you'r pretty much asking for crashing problems. The 5670 doesn't have a 12v rail input I'm pretty sure. I would recommend at least 450 Watts, but 550Watts is the safe bet.

Can you open up your case and take a look inside for PSU sticker?

Agree with rolli and ct1615, if you have a strong 12V rail then you have a good PSU.

hmm, i doubt i have a 12 rail but ill check. its just a standard dell gx745 sff psu

Being a Dell increases the probability that it works, they tend to underrate their PSU's.

450-550w for a 5670??

please don't recommend PSU to posters since its clear you have no clue to what you are talking about.
