Need a PSU for a ms-7046 based system

Whoop · 16 Jun 2006 at 22:39

Hi all,

Just put a 6800GT TDH in to a ms-7046 mobo based system, 2 x HDD, 2 x Optical drives and a 3.4Ghz penty processor... then noticed it has a Sparkle 350W PSU

Although it appears to be running fine I don't like it running when the min is a 450W on a GT and I had to disconnect one of the opticals to get a spare power lead.

What are my best/cheapest options?

Thanks,

Whoop

If it works fine and the rails are stable I wouldn't worry myself too much about it, I'm running a 6800gt quite happily on a 400w PSU and have been for the past 18 months, getting on for two years. 450w is what the manufacturers say to cover their back and allow for generic 500w that offer 350w at a push.

If you do want to change then anything from Seasonic, Enermax, FSP, Tagan or Akasa are all good.
