9800 gtx with 250 watt PS??
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
The minimum recommended PSU for a 9800 GTX is 450 watts. http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9800_gtx_u...
Definitely not recommended. The 9800GTX has a TDP of 140W, i doubt a 250W PSU will have the 6 pin PCI-E connect it needs to run, and when it has to provide 140W to the GPU and at least 60W to the CPU, and some more for the motherboard and drives you will be well over its limit and you have two options, it will either shut off nicely, or it will blow. Cheap low power units tend not to have any protections so they are more likely to choose the second option.
