PSU check

loltim · 30 Jan 2009 at 17:57

I've got an Enermax Liberty 620W, had it ages now, must be well over a year old. I'm running a E6750 at 3.3, GTX285 and 4GB bog standard PC6400, DVDRW, PCI soundcard, etc etc.

The PSU should cope fine? It makes a noise under load in a similar way to my old QTEC did :eek:

Is there any software I can use to check how much wattage I need?

I would imagine that it would be fine with that lot, I have the 500w liberty model and have a Q6600 @ 3ghz, 6 gig DDR II, HD3870 (soon to be a 1gig 4870), 2hdds, soundcard and a dvd-rw and it runs fine ...

get a meter that read the power draw from the wall, then take into account the efficiency of your PSU to get a rough idea on the power draw. but 620W should be plenty

But take take it as ruff guide, best bet is to buy an energy montitor.

Your 620w is plenty, sounds daft but ar you sure it;s the psu.

i just looked at the specs of your PSU

you have around 22 on each 12v rail of which you have two 12v rails combined for around 44ish

so your PSU should be fine, its also got a 80+ efficiency

enermax is a fairly good company so it should be good!
