Is this a moral power supply?

Here are the specs (This is what come with the PC) ok... the underscore mean that stripe with the three dots underneath it.



+12 V /19A _

+5 V /30A_

+3.3 V / 28A_

-12 V /0.8A

+5 VSB / 12A ( i guess might be like 1.2)

+3.3 V & +3.3 V 188 MAX (don't deem this is neccesary)

+5 V & +12 V 288 MAX (ditto)

Is this a moral power supply?

the power supply is ok, not great, but not bad. plentifully of power supply manufacturers pump up the 3.3v guiderail, to boost the overall wattage, when the place you want the most amps available is on the 12v rail. 19A as your psu have, will support

SOME of the newer video cards, but not all of them.

it also depends on what the overall draw of adjectives the components in your system is... how heaps harddrives, cd/dvd drives, soundcards, video card(s)

there is an online power supply calculator to assistance you figure out if your psu is up to the charge..

Look for the total wattage of the ps, this is the most important number. Normally the PS comes contained by 300-350 wattage, but in direct to run a good video card the specs is atleast 450 Watts,, more that 450 is better. This is what adjectives the ardent gamers use.



Good Luck
