[Woah Mama!]

Probably, but damn man. Why generic? What are the 12 volt ratings?

I don't know anything about the brand itself but I think it's time for a new PSU. I imagine it will run, but I imagine you'll find it running at its absolute peak, constantly. KennyT was selling a barely used OCZ 700W for cheap in the trade section.

im going to buy a new one. but i gotta finish paying off my monitor first

[Woah Mama!]

Anything wrong with your 7300 atm? If you take the 8800 out of your dads until your 3870 arrives, what will he use?

[freaksavior]

i'm going to put my 7300 in his computer....he doesn't play games and if there is a game being played its rune scape

The 8800GTS has a reccommended 26A on the +12V. I wouldn't trust a $300 graphics card to the psu in the pic. Spend some more and get a psu that is going to go the long haul.

ok, well could i run it off the psu in my rig? its in my 2nd post.

[freaksavior]

forgot to mention the psu i have now has 2 x 12v 18a rails. newegg says its one

[freaksavior]

so can i or cant i run the 8800gts or not ?

[freaksavior]

i dk enough about psu's to know if i can run this or not. could someone plz answer me?

[nflesher87]

don't
use your bro's 8600

[freaksavior]

he's in college station (about 2 hours away) and why exactly dont?

Personally, i wouldn't recommend it. That PSU is not designed for something like the 8800. My Kingwin psu has 20A on both +12v rails and my 8800 runs fine. But I don't think it will be good to run off that psu if the +12v rails are 10 and 15.

[freaksavior]

no, there 18 and 18.

[freaksavior]

seems to work fine. i am running the 8800 as of now.

I ran mine on a psu with 2x18a rails (a HEC) and it was fine, but that was a pretty good quality unit, i have no idea what dynapower are like

[freaksavior]

well this is temporary so i should be fine.
