250w PSU enoughfor duron?

mecha · 13th July 2001, 10:32 PM

alot of ppl have 300w PSU for their amd systems....

do u reckon a 250w aopen PSU will do justice for a typical duron system with single hard drive, GF2MX, CDROM etc. ??

or will i get some instability during o/c??

I was running my 1ghz T-bird for about three months with a 250 watt Psu.

1x cdrom
1x burner
2x Ibm drives (raid)
Asus V6600

It ran fine the psu was a A-open since gone to a 300 watt A-open just in case.

With the hardware you've mentioned, it should be fine, however I seem to remember seeing somewhere that overclocking your CPU and vid card could require more juice than a 250W PSU has.
