Another PSU geez

simoncpage · May 2, 2006, 12:46 PM

my 410W PSU doesn't appear to be supplying enough power to my graphics card Bliss 7800GS 512MB AGP (I keep getting slow down in games and then when I reboot I get that the nvidia sentinel telling me that it has not got enough power and has gone into a slower safe state).

This is the PSU I am thinking of getting now

albeit I need to cut a hole for the switch on the back of my Dell Dimension 8300 but it should be more than enough power now no?

Any comments is this a good PSU?

Thanks

Good enough. However some Dell machines can't be fitted with a standard ATX PSU so you might want to check its compatibility out. It has to do with non-standard pinouts on the ATX power connector.

Yeah done that check and luckily it is - ordered now and hopefully no more problems

Nice. Good luck with that back plate.
