or Sapphire Radeon HD4850 512mb ddr3 Toxic Zalman Fan $289

Memory = Kingston ddr2 6400/800 cl5 (2gb x 2) $106

Hard drive = Western Digital 250gb $76

Opptical drive = Samsung s223 22x dvd+rw sata $39

MB: Palit N73PV

GFX: Powercolour 4850 PCS

2GB DDR2 RAM

Intel Core 2 duo e 7200 ( no OC)

Is my PSU the source of my problems. or is it anything else?

Noob question

Hi all,

Just to check,

If lets say i am using an andyson 450 w

based on this chart i have dual 12v rails.
My total effective wattage for my 12v rails is 360W.

That means 180 w per rail right?

so my amperage is 180/12= 15 A per rail?

Is that correct.
Anyway if i am using a ATI 4850 running on an intel core 2 duo 7200,

is that enough?

refer to chart:
http://www.andysonet.com/pdf/A Serial.pdf

try the psu calculator:
http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/

450w may be a bit low, 500w safer.

No, it doesn't work that way. The Andyson 450W is rated for 18A/16A, but the local version is somehow 20A/20A. This means locally the Andyson 450 can provide 20A/240W of +12V power on either rail, with the other rail then limited to whatever remaining capacity there is, up to the max the PSU can support.

Yes, and again unless you're clocking the hell out of your CPU and graphic card :D
