Branjo Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 If I get the 8800GTS which is stated to require a 26Amp 12v Rail and a PSU has 2 x 20Amp rails, will the G/card draw more from one to compensate or would it be wise to use a double molex to 6 pin PCIe converter so the card can draw half from each rail?

Single +12V rail PSU's are recommended for "monster" GPU's, especially in SLI/CF. You PSU should be fine with one 8800GTS. :angel: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branjo Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Thanks bro. So my intended COOLMAX CUG 700w should be ok then? http://www.newegg.com/product/Product.asp?...N82E16817159058 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Why not get this one instead? It's the same price but much more recommended. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817341002 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
