Hows it going. I was recently over at the DFI boards and was informed that my 465W Enermax PSU wouldnt be up to snuff to run a 7950 GX2.

PSU specs are 35A on the 3.3V rail, 35A on the 5V rail, and 33A on the 12V rail. I dont plan on running SLI yet, and when I do I will most definatly be getting a new PSU. But will my current PSU work for just the one 7950 GX2?

I think it will work. Double-check with some other people first. The 7950GX2 should really have a 500W supply just to be safe.

33amps on the 12v rails is the spec you really need to take into consideration. That should uphold a heavily oc'ed 7950gx2. You should be fine untill SLi, unless you have a netburst cpu, 10 hdds and 3 dvd burners that is...:p nermax's are very good psus.
