is this good with 400w psu..?
618400
No, if you read the spec i believe it says it needs 480 watts. Im using a 600 and its working fine.
618401
nope, highly recommended that you get 500-600 psu and connect it directly from the psu

Technically, it should be higher, but it may still work well. There was some sort of incompatibilty between my card and PC (wasn't able to determine the cause), so I traded with a friend. He's now running it on a higher-end medium performance pc with only a 350w psu and it's working perfectly for him. Granted, he only buys high quality brand psu.

no it's not. You need at least 550W to get the full potential of this card.

itll work once you have a 400watt psu, it doesnt require much power, or even an auxilliary power connector

Hmm... I think a 500W PSU would be ok, but are you overclocking the CPU? If so, then I would recommend checking the necessary wattage for the GPU. I'm using a 750W PSU, but I think other people have used less. I would research this further since I'm not 100% sure 500W would suffice. I'm sorry if I couldn't be more helpful.

yes it would, but if you're upgrading the PSU, why not go a bit higher in wattage? I'd personally get at least a 525w for this system. They did upgrade the stock PSU to a 500W, but it's a no name that I wouldn't trust and doesn't have enough connectors to do anything but run the rig as is.

Hi dude, the box says: "500Watts or greater power supply". If you have a certified (real) 500W PSU, you'll be ok.

Everything sounds good the min PSU is 500 so it's just on the border I would recommend if possessible upgrading maybe to 600 that way you don't over stress it but other than that yeah it should be fine

According to Newegg customer responses this card will work with as low as a 250 watt psu. However, a 400 watt PSU is recommended.

I am using 400W power supply with this card and it works just fine. This card has pretty low power requirement especially since it has no cooling fans. This card is designed to be fully fanless by using bigger heat sinks. I mainly used it for the good performance, smaller profile and fanless design. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Would recommend at least a 600wat psu.(Also depending on what else you have in your system)

Late answer, so I hope that you haven't had any problems. At full load, this card can consume up to 350W. I wouldn't go less than 750 for a PSU. If you plan on an OC, I'd go even higher. That being said, my CPU, GPU, and RAM are all OC'd. I've also got four HDD and one SSD, five case fans, and a 1050W Corsair. If you're considering spending this kind of money, I'd feel better knowing that the PSU voltage isn't going off course due to an overload, or that the PSU killed itself without taking casualties (fingers crossed).

It works just fine with my 220w PSU but of course, I don't have a fancy setup. One hard drive, one cd/rw drive, quad-core processor, two sticks of ram (4gb), etc. So I would say that as long as you have a modest build, you can cut it with 200w but I would recommend 220w to be safe. Of course, the more power you have, the more you can be at ease.

I suggest you buy a converter which supports power at least 3 times larger than what you really need, this will make you less trouble. Thus for your PS, 500W seems good enough.

This power supply should be overkill for your system. Go ahead and grab it. I'm CompTIA A+ Certified, this PSU meets all of your hardware's requirements, easily.

From your description I believe so. I runs perfect on mine and I don't think it is as good as yours. Just be certain that you have the slot for it. More important is the power supply the minimum is 400w. I had to get a larger one.

Can't say 100% but I'm using a 550w PSU with an i5 2200 and everything's fine. A 500w would be plenty.

500W is fine for a PSU. For future reference use this page: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jspI find it more accurate than the one provided here from Asus.

Yes. A good quality 800w power supply would be enough. Just make sure your psu delivers at least 70A on the 12V rail.
