Will i be able to run gt 240?

[Scorpion_90]

I have Dell Optiplex GX280 Small desktop
210watts psu power rating at 12V and 14A
will gt 240 run with my psu ?

 

[Anik8]

he said 210W rating at 12V and 14A which means actual PSU wattage is like 350W(marked) minimum.So that can run a gt 240 with ease
and his casing looks like it will fit.

Yes sir you may run a gt 240 but dats dat.Any other card like HD5670 or 9800 GT are longer in size and may not only block air intake bt siting ur casing they may ram into your HDD so beware

 

[Scorpion_90]

It has full size pci express slot 16x

 

[Scorpion_90]

yes it has 210 watts psu

 

[Anik8]

ok lets go once again by 210 watts psu, wat do you actually mean? previously u said its 210W at 12V and 14A.Please be precise both are not the same

 

[Scorpion_90]

[Anik8]

neither 210 nor 250 will do

 

[HansVonOhain]

Scorpion, do not take any chances with your current PSU. It will not work.
