Power Check 380

[ghitz]

Hi guys, I always like the highly technical crowd here, I have a question regarding power. This is my system:

Q9550 overclocked to3.4 G
Asus P5Q-EM mAtx board
Corsair 8 Gig DDR2
Asus HD4850 Video
3 HDs (650G *3)
2 120 mm fans

I have a NSK3480 mATX box, seriously would the EA380 watts that comes with this case be enough for this system?

Thanks.

You should be fine, but you're getting close

I think that you would be borderline, OP. If that were a Q6600, I'd say no way. But the 45nm quads take less juice.
I'd feel safer with a decent 500W.

Thanks, I'll try it and let you guys know. I do have a second EA380 if the first one blows. 🙂

You'll probably be making the PSU sweat a little, but given that it's a fairly high quality unit you should be ok.

Use this page for reference Link. The test system specs are on an earlier page. Similar to yours though you have a couple extra HDD's and DDR2 vs DDR3.
