Hi all!
I have recently upgraded my system and really need to know if my old PSU is actually up to the job. I have looked on a PSU Calculator and it seems that my power supply is ok. However, as far as I know, these only show wattage, which it seems is half the story… I do not overclocking etc…
My PSU is a “Thermaltake Purepower 480w Butterfly”
My system is as follows:
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (skt 939)
Asrock 939 Dual Sata motherboard
2 x 512mb RAM
ATI Radeon X1800XT 256mb
1 x Soundblaster Live! card
1 x CD drive
1 x DVD drive
2 x 40gb hard drives
2 x 92mm fans
1 x 120mm fan
If my PSU is deemed to be inadequate could you please list alternatives and reasons? I don’t really have a huge budget but am willing to spend enough to ensure my system is safe.
Thanks!
