X1900xt Power requirements?

[Bishop]

Hi, im a bit worried about by power supply here, it's a Enermax Liberty
Modular 400W, my system is:-

4000 am2
asus m32 sli deluxe thingy
x1900xt
74gig raptor
xfi xtreme music
2 dvdrws
and 2 case fans

Will that PSU be enough, ive heard it can power things that should require
more than 400w on review sites, but id also like to overclock my cpu from
2.0ghz to maybe 2.6 if possible...

Will i need to upgrade the psu do ya think?

Should be OK if this PSU is ok quality.

I'm not dead certain, but if this is your supply:

http://www.enermaxusa.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_45&products_id=81

it is rated at 20A on each of its two 12V rails. That ought to be good for a
single X1900XT graphics card. You might need a more powerful supply for two
cards on a Crossfire mainboard. As you can only use a single ATI card on
your nVidia mainboard, you should be fine.


Address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.

Yeah thats my PSU!

I'd never do the dual vid card thing to be honest.

Thanks! Ive just ordered the sapphire x1900xt! I waiting to play fear
properly.
