    CoolerMaster Real Power 450w handle a 4850?

    Hey,

    Do you think this PSU will handle a ATi 4850.

    RealPower 450w

    Power is there but the 12v rails enough?

    12v rails (check the bottom of the page)

    Not sure if it's enough... Seems a bit low to me lol

    If I were you, I'd get the Corsair VX 450W PSU...
    It's a better PSU, with a way better 12V rail, which is enough for the HD4850.

    Not looking to buy a PSU, fixing one from roughly 3 years ago.

    Hmm, well I'm still not sure if it would be enough, should wait for some more replies, maybe someone else who has that PSU...

    On side note, I wouldn't mess with a 'broken' PSU =p

    Re: CoolerMaster Real Power 450w handle a 4850?

    With 10-12A on the 12V rail I wouldn't risk it myself. Even a low wattage quality brand like Corsair has 2-3 times that at least.

    Go with the PSU NovaSphere recommends, or the FSP 700W PSU that keeps being on TO @ Scan now and again at a knock-off price.

    Dual 12v rails - total is 22a

    I have an Enermax MODU82+ but the fan/switch orientation is not compatible with my 'fill in' case

    Re: CoolerMaster Real Power 450w handle a 4850?

    Is it actual dual rails, or just dual lines but a single 12V rail? Many PSU manufacturers produce both variants and it can sometimes be difficult to determine which one it is.

    A single 12V rail would be better since it carries more amps than two, lesser rails.

    That could mean either to be fair.
