Sup ppl?
I have an ATX-IB680W-BL from back in the day (like 4 years ago) that I just (ya) started using. I want to get the GTX 560 or the GTX 460 worst case, since my GPU is suppose to last for a few years.
On EVGA's site, the requirements are as follows:
■GTX 460: Minimum 450 Watt recommended power supply, with +12 Volt current rating of 24 Amps.)
■GTX 560: Minimum 500 Watt recommended power supply, with +12 Volt current rating of 30 Amps.)
Now, for the PSU that I have, the "APEVIA ICEBERG ATX-IB680W-BL" http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=17-148-028&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Keywords=460#scrollFullInfo it's specs:
■1 x 12V P4 / P8 (4/8 pin)
■Main Connector.... 20+4Pin
■+12V Rails............ 2
■PCI-E Connector... 2 x 6-Pin
■Output... +3.3V@38A, +5V@40A, +12V1@22A, +12V2@24A, -5V@0.3A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@2A
My question now (obviously) is, can it power any of these 2 GPUs properly? I am not familiar with this type of technical stuff, but from what I see, it has +12V1@22A and +12V2@24A. So does that mean I can only power the GTX460 with the +12V2@24A connection? Need some assistance here...
