-I have a problem with HP DC 7700 SFF, the specs say that the 16x
pciex slot is assigned a maximum power of 25 W and so I could
install in the best case a Radeon HD 5450 which is in the limit of
25 W but is not a big difference from my current video card a hd 4350 .
-My question is what happens if i install a video card with a
maximum consumption of 35 W because if you calculate the total
power remains quite enough for a better card.
my configuration
----------------
-power source 230 w (80 plus)
-processor > celeron e3400 ....65 w max
-memory > 4 gb 667 mhz ....20 w
-two hard drives ....20 w
-motherboard intelq965 chipset ....20 w
-no dvd writer (disconnected)
-----------
125 (+/- 10 w)
iff the power source can give say 200 w real power would still be enough
please someone help im quite desperate !!!:'(
