Silverstone SG05 450w psu question

Bradmax57 · 21 Jun 2011 at 09:28

Would the 450w psu that comes with the SG05-450 be enough for i7 2600k, 1 ssd, 1 hdd and a 560ti?

Considering a itx setup when the z68's land

Pop your details in here and have a look:

I'm running the specs in my sig on the ST45SF though so i'd expect you to be fine.

I have 750 watts to much in my power supply apparently.....whoops sorry earth!

Minimum PSU for a 560ti is 500w according to nvidia.

460 is fine with 450w PSU though.

ive been running the same system overclocked with a gtx480 on my be quiet 520w without any issues what so ever

Well I can get it to do some strange things if I leave it Furmarking, strange things that disappear if I attach it to the 600W PSU in my girlfriend's PC.

Then again, I had a rather heated argument with some twerp from the [H] forums who was convinced that his GTX470 based PC was fine on the 300W version of the PSU and that my system drew even less. Moron. :rolleyes:

Have a look at that,a proper reading.

People have been running stronger cards on that PSU before for a good while.

The specs for graphics cards are often higher then they need to be.
