Max021 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Since I have a similar question, I don't want to make a new thread. Anyway, the conf is as follows: - amd x2 3800+ - 2x512mb + 2x1gb ddr2 667mhz - 8800gts - 1 sata hd - 2 optical ata drives I want to buy the hx520w and i'm interested if it would work fine. I used some calculator and made the worst possible case scenario and got that 402w psu will suffice(that's with a condeser decay of 30%, and a constant load of 100% on all components). I just answered the question to myself writing this :) Anyway just wanted to know from someone at corsair or an experienced person, cause i don't want to buy something i won't be able to use (and it's not cheap where i'm buying it).

EliteKiller Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 The HX520 would provide more than enough power. Your rig will pull <300W from the psu under a worst case scenario load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your rig will pull <300W from the psu under a worst case scenario load. Elitekiller is right, you would still be fine even if you added another video card, although if you plan on doing this at some point, I would recommend the 620w for a bit more headroom.

Max021 Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Thx for the replies. I'm not planing on putting another GPU. It's good to know this PSU will suffice for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
