jayvio Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 I had a 400watt. power supply. but it broke and when they replaced it thay only put in a 300 watt. do you think this is enough or should I go buy a new one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
General912 Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 yeah it should be fine. but if you add more drives and fans thens the time to think about a bigger power supply. i got a 300 right now works fine on one of my rigs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinal Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 i would recommend an upgrade. but it really all depends on what your setup is and do you have any extra lights or anything like that but for the price of a better ps i would probably upgrade at least a 450 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 I would upgrade if you have any cold cathodes running too... I heard they suck up quite a bit of power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantom Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 Hey: It's just a thought but I'd upgrade for sure. 500 or better. I just put a power and cooling 510atx in mine with external pots, it's great!!!! OK so it's 300 big ones, but what else are we going to do with our money?? I put a post undr Prometia hotrod... It has the link to the 510W PC system.. Keep it hot...

Lance 300 big ones could buy me a 2500+ barton, epox 8rda+, and 2 sticks of 256mb corsair xms pc3200, all that for the price of ONE power supply Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muninn Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 (edited) you have 300w that should be fine unless you are going to turn your case into a lighshow unless you have 4 hard drives, and OC proc, OC ram, 2cd, and i don't know what else 300w will be fine for now. everyone on these boards is excessive with what they think is right, but just ask what do you need. why would you need a 400 or 500 watt powersuply? seroiously. Don't but what you don't need, Muninn Edited June 2, 2003 by Muninn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
