Running mine on a 480W enermax. As long as decent 12v rails then not a problem

I ran my 8800gt in my shuttle with 250watt psu!

I'll be running an 8800gt on a coolermaster real power 520w psu.

what's the amp of your 12v rail in total? (+12v1,+12v2 and +12v3)
never heard of your PSU but I know many doggy ones mark their output wattage with peak output, not the continuous output.
My Qtec 550W(from OcUK unfortunately) blew my CPU and mobo 3 years ago.

You didn't know that Qtec was a widow-maker, even if it says 5000W on the tin I still woulnd't trust the brand. Lucky for you it only took with it your mobo and CPU. Going to get a 8800GTS G92 soon too but my Seasonic S12 500W can handle it at ease.

True! When it blew, I could even hear the explosive 'bok' sound and see the smoke came from the back of my PC. I was shocked for 10 seconds. I did think I was going to die.
Ironically, OcUK and ****** were both selling a lot hell of Qtec PSUs and many buyers even left good feedbacks on them.
2 of my customers were quite proud to say 'I have a 550W PSU!'
'What brand?' I asked.
'Qtec!' they answered proudly.
What a joke!
