Hi,
Right now I have a corsair hx620 power supply and my system is:
- 2 320mb 8800s
- 3600+ eating 1.38v
- 2 Sata hard drives
- 6 fans (zalman 9500 on the cpu, 2 80 mm, 2 120 mm, 1 92 mm)
- 4 sticks of memory
- 1 optical drive
- network adapter pci card
I want to upgrade my proc to the 6400+ black which is a lot more power hungry, will the hx620 be enough? I ran a wattage calculator and it said that my power draw would be approx. 430w under 90% system load and 470w under 100% load. I read good things about this psu's efficiency, but what kind of overhead should I be looking for? Is the 5000+ black a safer choice for this PSU?
Gonna be away all afternoon, thanks in advance to any replies.
