Hi all,
Got a quick question about power requirements. I've got the following in my rig:
2900XT
2GB Corsair DDR2
E6600 @ 3GHz (stock volts)
Gigabyte DS4
X-Fi
DVD/RW
and finally two SATA hard drives
I'm thinking of putting in an extra hard drive, although I'm not too sure my PSU will be up to the task. I've got a Tagan 580W modular, and it gives out 35amps on the 12V in 'combined' mode. Now there is another option of having it 'split' so it runs at 40amps, however I'm not exactly sure how this would work. Do the components need to be two seperate power leads for the power to be split?
The basic question is would I be able to stick another hard drive in there?
Thanks a lot.
