ben100014 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Hey guys, a friend of my dad's bought a new Nvidia GTX 290 and gave his older' 9800GX2 to me. I am curious, will my Raidmax RX-630-A psu with 630 watts be enough to run the card? FYI, the card produces a total of 38 amps on the 12v. Thanks for your help.
go6o_kara Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Yes, it is enough. It can hold it with the config from your signature, or something more hungry as well(the PSU won't feel very comfortable with a hungry quad CPU, but will do).
ben100014 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Ok, thank you. Are you sure that it will be enough even with a quad core processor?
puntoMX Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 It would not be a problem even if it was a 140W TP CPU. Just use one 12V line for your GPU if posible.
Zenskas Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Should be plenty mate. On nvidia's website it says the 9800GX2 needs at least a 580W PSU so yours is fine. I am running the PC in my sig on a generic no-name 400W PSU right now LOL!!! Edit: As long as you have both an 8 pin and a 6 pin PCIe power connector it will work. Plus if the card is for the PC in your sig then your CPU doesnt use much power and you only have the one hard drive. Edited March 18, 2009 by Zenskas
