Hi all I've just bought a load of new Bit's for a half decent gaming rig and the I've not built it yet but the VGA card i got is this
ENGTX460 DIRECTCU TOP/2DI/768M - 768MB Asus GTX 460 TOP, 3680MHz GDDR5, GPU 700MHz, Shader Clock 1400MHz, 336 Cores, 2xDL DVI/mHDMI
My Question is: On the Box it's says "Recommends" not Requires a 450Watt+ PSU with the 12V connector for the VGA to run at 12V @ 24Amp.....
Looking at my PSU it's a Cooler Master Elite 500 (Passive)
It states it's 500Watt, So yes should be ok but on the PSU it says the 12V rating is only 20 Amp's......?
Will it work or not? plus there are two connectors on the VGA card for Extra power rather than one (so the 6Pin one there's two on there) My PSU has one of these connecters already but in the VGA Card box it has a convertor from standard Molex 4 pin to two of these 6 pins connectors so i can use the one on my PSU and one from the convertor so as the PSU sends 12V down each one at 20Amp still.
Help It's been a while since i was into all the this sort of thing so would like some advise
Thanks
