PSU too small?

[frofan]

Will the Antec NEOHE 500 be big enough to run my rig? I'm concerned with the 17A 12v line!

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
AMD X2 4400+
EVGA 7800 GT CO
2 36 GB Raptors in raid
1 WD 120 GB
1 DVD+-R
1 CD+-R

I also have a stupid question, is this PSU 20 or 24 pin? Which one does the A8N require? Anyone?

17A is normal for Dual +12V.

 

[uo7]

24 pin for both.

Will this be enough to power 2 7800's if I ever went SLI?

If you have the money and don't really need modular i would get a pc power and cooling supply. I'm not the best one to ask though pp&c are the only supplys i use. Someone will chime in and give you cheaper options i'm sure.

bump?

This PSU has a combined maximum current rating of 38A on +12V rails, or 456 watts. I think you'll be fine.

For just $19 more you can get the 550W NeoHE which has 3x 12V lines..each with 18A...thats if Newegg ever gets them back in stock!

The 500W model also has 3 x +12V rails., each rated for 17A (but only 38A max combined).
