w/ 7800 GTX 512mb, 2gb ocz ram, amd 4000+? Will the ps hold up?

psu is 350W

512GTX takes more power than X1800XT

well im looking at the tomshardware/anandtech ps consumption, looks like it could be feasible? I mean the other shuttle with SLI can run 2 7800 gtx supposidly.

 

[IlllI]

you might want to write shuttle and ask them about it to make sure.

Points out the fact that the review on this site showed the 7800GTX 512 using 283 watts underload, you might have a bit of trouble.

I have a SN25P, but I am not sure that it could handle a fully loaded box and the GTX 512. I mean if you only have 1 drive, I think it can do it, but with 2 or 3 HDs that is a good question

I'm pretty sure it can handle it, remember that?s 283 watts for the entire system, not the 7800GTX alone. Secondly Wattage isn?t everything, efficiency matters too and the Shuttle PSU's are quite efficient and they are able to handle what normal 500W PSU's can.

u sure thats 283 for the whole system and not just the card? Also if I get it, im prob just gonna have a raptor drive with 1 7800gtx 512 and a 4000+.

I think it will. The 350 watt power supply that Shuttle uses is very good. They also use the 350 watt PS in the SN26P sli rig and it handles 2 - 7800gtx 256mb vid cards. If it can handle 2 of those cards it should be able to handle 1 512 card.

You should be fine, I run a prescott, ati tv tuner, x800xl and harddrive with my 250 without a hickup. It's been through many hours of bf2 with no problems.

you should be fine i have seen alot worse over in sfftech.com

It says in the article it's 283 watts measured at the wall (i.e. psu input). So actually, the output wattage needed to run the entire computer will be below 283 watts since a psu is not 100% efficient. I'm actually surprised the number is so low.

Has anyone tried to get one of these 512mb to fit, it looks like it might be a bit close to the capacitors near the CPU cooler?

 

[JLevine]

If fitting the 512 card in the sn25p is a problem, do you think it would be better to get the SLI sn26p for more graphic card space? (I probably wont run SLI in a shuttle, so that 2nd slot is just going to be used for space)
