bob808 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 You should have no problems with that setup. As far as i can tell you have the motherboard, chip, memory, and a 260 geforce card and the hard drives. again, this should be no problem for the 620 psu. :): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1gher0 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 forgot ill also be running an Asus Sonar Essence STX soundcard. main worry is just how much stress the psu will be under, and how it will stand up for 3+ years of a lot of long periods of use.

DuckieHo Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Modern PSUs have plenty of power on the +12v line. However, HDs pull from this and the +5v line. The 620HX has up to 30A available on the +5v line. Current HDs use less than 1A on the +5v in use.... except on spin-up. They probably use closer to 1.5-2A when they first start up. On server, they have an option for delay startup of HDs to stagger this momentary power draw. That being said.... 30A should be fine for 8 hard drives. If you had 12-15, then I would start to be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
