Hello all..
My question is can ANY good PSU run any CPU? or it's like GPUs, the PSU has to be powerful enough to handle the GPU?
I'm asking because I used to run an AMD 125w CPU on a PSU the has these spec..
+3.3v(18A)/+5v(25A) -- 160w
+12v(18A) -- 216w
390w PSU
Because I wanted to get a strong GPU, I exchanged my PSU for this one
+3.3v(24A)/+5v(20A) -- 120w
+12v(34A) -- 408w
500w PSU
And I just noticed that the wattage on +3.3/+5 is 120w, while in my old PSU it was 160w
I was wondering if this would make a problem running my 125W CPU
note: my mobo is currently down, so I never tested the new PSU on the 125w CPU
Thanks in advance
