I Have A question :)

[ejagas09]

Will my 600w Power Supply Support an EVGA GeForce GTS 450 SC (Super Clocked) Edition?

Here's my system specs

Pentium Dual Core E2180 @ 2.00Ghz
Intel Desktop Board dg41Rq
4GB of Ram 800Mhz

If it's a good brand it could power two of them in sli, so one will be no problem.

What is the make and model of that 600 Watt power supply unit?

 

[jsc]

The GTS450 only needs about 10 amps (around 120 watts). Assuming a couple of hard drives and an optical, your system will pull less than 250 watts under load.

If your power supply is not complete junk, it should support the card. But the brand and model is very important.

It is an Aspire 600w power supply

 

[ko888]

The Apevia ASPIRE 600W power supply is not a 600 Watt power supply. It's realistically only a 500 Watt PSU (jonnyGURU).

Its combined +12 Volt continuous current rating is anywhere between 26 Amps to 30 Amps.

It has two 6-pin PCI-Express supplementary power connectors.

For a system running with a single GeForce GTS 450 NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 400 Watt or greater power supply with a combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 22 Amps or greater and with at least one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector.

Your 600W PSU should be sufficient to power your system with a single GeForce GTS 450.

An overclocked GeForce GTS 450, itself, will draw 8.7 Amps from the +12 Volt rails under a realistic full graphics processing load. If you run FurMark it will draw 12.3 Amps from the +12 Volt rails.

The question is.... can I run it?

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Yes you can.
