9600xt & 250watt psu

[baddog121390]

would a 250watt HP generic power supply handle a 9600pro or 9600xt?

it should unless you have a lot more hooked up to it...they don't need an external power connector so they are limited to what they can draw through the mobo.

9600xt requires 55watts, not a lot, but it really depends on the rest of your system whether or not that psu will run it.

 

[baddog121390]

its coming out to about 220 watts

If the load of your system is 220W then the 250W power supply should be fine as long as it actually outputs 250W at load.

you should have no problems...i have a generic hp 250watt psu and im running fine with an radeon 9550@9600pro

I find that hard to believe. Xbitlabs tested the powerconsumption of videocards as well and they got 25W@burn mode for an overclocked 9600xt: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/ati-powercons_9.html

hey baddog,
what is your other system components now?
this situation will also depend on your other parts and how much power they draw out from the psu

Dell puts 250 watt psus in their 8400, which has the x850xt as an option. You power supply should be plenty.

First, I don't think HP uses "generic" PSU's. That would be asking for Warranty problems, so they no doubt have a pretty good unit even at a rating of 250watt's on the label. I think HP uses Bestec brand PSU's and they are very well built from my limited experience with them.

Should work fine depending on what else you have spinning all at once in there 🙂

bestec is alright -- the emachines a friend gave me has a 250w that is 13A on +12V
but my mom's hp 7915 has a delta ps
