[christianncg]

Hi, its been a while since I've posted, but i have a quick question: will the PNY Nvidia gt 430 I'm planning on purchasing run on a 300w 19a psu? Thanks ahead of time

*edit* some further information.
Motherboard= MSI Ms-7093
CPU = AMD Athlon 64 3500+ NewCastle
PSU = Stock 300w with 19a on +12v.

needs 22A on 12v

 

[christianncg]

is that the absolute requirement, or just a recomendation?

It should work just fine, the GT 430 is nice and low powered and your CPU isnt very power hungry either. The recommendations are worst case scenario and tend to have a very power hungry CPU and other high powered components to exaggerate for a safety margin.

Oh alright, that makes sense... i dont know much about new graphics cards, seeing as im running an old radeon x550 256mb card. Ill go ahead and buy it, and hope that it can handle some moderate gaming. Thanks for the help!
