Can I use this power supply to power one RGB controller? I need one output to the RGB controller that has the 150 watts.

Yes ... I used this power supply to power (3) strips with a signal booster placed inline with the three strips.

It depends on how many hard drives your system has installed. That graphics card draws 372 watts at full load. The motherboard draws between 150 and 250 watts. Hard drives under full load draws around 40 watts. This power supply should work without any problems unless you have a system with a lot of components. I had an initial problem because I have 7 hard drives and one Blu-ray drive in the system that I put this power supply in. Just make sure to put only 2 hard drives per physical SATA power cable. This supply comes with 4 cables to connect peripherals. This is a great supply. It should work fine for you. Hope this helps.

Yes definitely, and if you don't trust me or anyone else here, go to pcpartpicker.com and put in all the parts to see the estimated wattage. This PSU has 80% bronze efficiency so you should leave around 150W just to be safe.

No worth the chance. This thing is absolute garbage. I lost a heck of a lot from this, but I should have read the feedback. I found later most power supply's cannot carry this kind of current. I returned it for a EVGA 1300 watt 80 plus gold supply that cost only 190$. I can live with 1300 vs 1600. But if you need that mush power I don't know where you will get it on a single rail. I would probably go with something external like a server grade. Good luck.

I am using a 650wattt power supply. The card needs a power source other than the mainboard.

Refer to the Corsair website. They list this information for each model power supply under Tech Specs.

Leon-I have had two sets of two 145W panels running through my two Sun-Force Controllers since Jan 2013 and have had no problems. The directions on the box say that they can handle up to 440w ea. and I'm at 290W. I plan on hooking one more 145W panel to each of my two controllers so I'll then have 435W on ea. panel? I'll see what happens. I have been very happy with my setup and I bought all of it through Amazon. As I saw mentioned in one or more of the other responses, I would run two panels to one controller like I have not four to one controller. Good luck

Assuming you're not running a bunch of other stuff in your computer along with it, yes, 650W is plenty. The card has a theoretical maximum draw of 225W (but only pulls about 170W max).

no you cannot..........XFX is recommending at least a 500 watt power supply with 32 amps on the 12v rail

You can use a 650w psu or any other over the 500w. Just be sure that you have an available 4pin power supply cable to connect the graphic card 6 pins cable.

Surely you can. Any labled wattage (actual wattage) under 150W can be used.

Hey Ronel,I have a 750 watt power supply that I am using with this card. However, a standard power supply one with no less than 350 watts should be enough to run the card with no problems. I would recommend getting a 400 to 450 watt power supply if you will be using this card for gaming.

In all honesty a 250w power supply means a lack of power and I would question if you had the right hardware to support this card in the first place. Get a larger power supply they are cheap

If the total power required is 120W at 12VDC, then this power supply is adequate. Make sure that the LED strips are wired in parallel. Note that the output of this power supply has two wires (instead of a DC jack).

Yes, if it is a bronze standard 500 watt power supply. I recommend 700 watt bronze standard power supply if you want to over clock your cpu, memory, and graphics card in the near future. This graphics card has tweaking capability.

The single slot GPU does NOT use extra power (harness) from the PSU. It works strictly from the mobo power. Your 500 watt PSU is going to work just fine....
