w then 53 w....there was no steady increase or decrease but it was erratic.... My doubt is that is this normal or will there be steady increase in power as the load on the card increased.....Is my PSU the culprit all along???? System Spec: Core i7 920...

does this card require two 3 pin connecters connected to it from the psu? It takes a 6 pin PCIe connector, an adapter is furnished with the card, you'll need to connect it to 2- 4pin molex. The 9600GT 512GB uses 61watts of power at load. You'll want to keep...

under load (video card sucks up alot of juice) 2. voltage drops, expecially in the 5v line. (this line supplies the cpu) most noticable when going from idle cpu usage to 100% load. 3. fan speed drops for the same idle to full load. 4. excessive PSU heat...

are electrically DEAD SHORT at time-ZERO when power is applied. This condition happen in time periods of micro-seconds/mili-seconds. It is a real power load that must be accounted for to enable the load to stabilize. Power supplies are to ensure that the voltage...

watts Fans : 1 amp @ 12 volts - 12 watts. My estimated power load is less than 400 watts. But the 12 volt load is more than the 20 amps the PSU is rated for. You can try, but the first sign of trouble will probably be a seemingly random reset...

about it. The card uses about 85 watts and 6 amps at full load. It is not a power hungry card. The rest of your system does not use very much power either. Your power supply can easily handle the power load. The ATI Radeon HD 4870 is a power hungry card....

power supplies worked flawlessly, rated at 230W and 250W. Further testing showed if I reduced clock speed and core voltage to reduce load, removed the SCSI card and the power to the SCSI hard drive, everything worked fine with the Antecs. Voltage fluctuation...

Thats the model of the pc, not the power supply. The only info I can see on the power supply from any site is the base info, 300 watt psu. I would think it would be safe to try it since its a lower power demand video card. Plug it in, power it up and load...

the vc was trying to pull more power to load and operate in 3D mode the PSU may be the problem. It's hard to say really at what level your PSU is working. When you get your new card and you are considering a couple of power hungry cards be wary of the PSU...
