Will my PSU be able to live long enough?
Last response: in Components
So recently I got a new computer. The only issue is.. it has a 400w PSU and is running a graphics card and a huge computer screen.
The graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 5670 Sapphire version.
The computer screens resolution is 1900 x 1300.
The motherboard is a AMD Athlon II X3 3.10GHz.
It is also running speakers and a wireless keyboard as well as a mouse.
Do you guys know if the PSU will last long enough? It has been running for 3 days smoothly.

You're fine the power requirements for that card are low.
Easily under 200w in real world conditions.
Single GPU 5670
System in IDLE = 164 Watts
System with GPU in FULL Stress = 222 Watts
Difference (GPU load) = 58 Watt
Dual GPU 5670
System in IDLE = 175 Watts
System with GPU in FULL Stress = 285
Difference (GPU load) = 110 Watt

Thank you very much for replying
so does this mean I will not need to upgrade my PSU anytime soon? I also heard that a big monitor takes up about 80 watts. I'm kinda concerned about this. I want to make sure that nothing goes wrong.sketchedpest said:
