PSU for GTX 480

MissChief · 23 Jan 2014 at 23:01

Must have 6&8 pin graphics connectors, other than that a couple of Molex and SATA will do. Hopefully around £50 or so. I take it Modular isn't really doable at this price range?

Any other suggestions?

Good shout. Will it be in stock next week though?

What over spec dose your system have.

MissChief · 23 Jan 2014 at 23:09

It's a pretty low spec system. Two Molex powered Optical drives, a SATA mechanical hard disk and a S775 e7400 CPU with 2gb ram. The 480 was a free upgrade from a 9600GT for my sons machine.

All under £50 and will run the system NO problem
the modular CX @ £37 will be fine

OvEr_KiLL · 23 Jan 2014 at 23:46

the superflower will be fine, the maximum that gfx card will draw is 42A and the 12v rail on the superflower is 45.5A so it will be fine unless he is overclocking like crazy on it ,
the other psus are all tat except maybe the akasa 650w which does 49A but only 585w which is fine for him but i would definately go for the superflower!

MissChief · 24 Jan 2014 at 00:09

I will be ordering next week so will take the super flower if it comes into stock.

I would worry about a 430w PSU with a 480 though?

Hmm now considering taking the Corsair VX550 from the main PC in sig and using that and getting a new PSU for the main machine! Man maths!

fowler002 · 24 Jan 2014 at 00:49

The suggested psu will be fine for your pc in the sig as well, well that is unless you're planning on sli in which case a 750-850w.

MissChief · 24 Jan 2014 at 04:04

Motherboard doesn't support it and I'm only driving a single screen. No plans for SLI/CF.

That is awful advice. The CX430M is a budget psu with only 32A/386w on the 12v rail and i doubt very much that it would run a GTX480 for very long before failing. That's even if it would run it at all.
