Dell GX620 - Will it power a 1950 Pro 512Mb

[jpmonkey69]

I've been given a Dell Optiplex GX620 from work, I was just wondering if the PSU is gonna be powerful enough to run the 512MB 1950 Pro I've just ordered

Shouldn't have any problems, its got 2 18A 12V rails.

First hit on Google via the part number.

305W PSU.... touch and go if it will will be 100% efficient in my opinion.

oh there will be nothing else in the PC except the onboard devices, RAM, HDD and the GFX card.

What's the power requirement for a 1950Pro?

My appologies, it may work OK then.

isnt the gx620 sff? will your 1950 fit?

 

[jpmonkey69]

some of them are, mine, however is a full BTX stylee tower. It's the middle one.

I tried to swap a C2D chip from a Optiplex 745 into the GX260... it didn't work, although the motherboards look similar... Maybe I could try again after updating the bios.

Yes, it does work!

Initially, after installing BF2142 I was crashing out after 10 mins. I installed the recent patch, and now it's all OK!...

Yeah x1950pro only needs about 28a on the 12v rail, obviously you dont have the full 36a, but you've still got enough.
