How many watts do i need?
381800
Sorry, I initially posted the wrong comment to a different product question.... For my zone (3) I believe it requires 250w for a pond less than 100 gallons. 750w for a pond 100 to 750. Check with the manufacturer to be sure. Hope this helped.

It depends on where you live and how big is the area you need the heater for. My pond is 2 ft deep and measure 8 ft x 8ft wide for the winter and I live in southeastern Minnesota.

We just plugged the unit into a 110 outlet. Not sure what you need to know beyond that.

As far as the overall watts are concerned, this is enough. There's also enough plugs for all of that (with room for another graphics card or two if you wanted more later). You should be just fine! I love this PSU. Highly recommended.

It depends upon how many graphics cards you mount and how many hard drives. 850 Watt should be plenty of power.

There is no minimum watts load required that I know of. I have several of these throughout my house and all work as advertised. Check with the manufacturer.

I needs 230 watts per card. 2 of them sum up to 460 watts witch will leave a very small room for CPU RAM Motherboard and HDD. You need a PSU thats at least 1000 watts to run 2 of them I'll recommend 1200 watt so you leave room and that way your PSU runs cold. You don't want all the heat a PSU generates when near 80% of usage. Even more when shopping for a new PSU make sure that a big part of the power is in the 12v rail. In electronic Power = Voltage * Current . in this case voltage is 12 current is what your PSU says on the box (you can check this while shopping) so. Power for 12 V = 12V * 56 = 672 watts for 12 V. This is an example Going back to you PSU u have 4 rails of 12v. @ 20Amp each. If you use 2 for each card ull get Card 1: 12v@40A = 480watts card uses 460 - 95% ( danger) Card 2: 13v@40A = 480watts card uses 460 - 95% ( danger) They are too close to the limit 95% and you have no room for CPU and Motherboard. They take about 150w more. And you only (at best) only have 40. Hope this helps for more info google search PSU watts explanations or ask me again.

The spec sheet says the minimum power requirement is 300 watts for the system and 65 for the card, so it would seem your system is right on the edge.

Use a PSU calculator to determine necessary wattage. (http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp)

It really depends on what you intend to use the PC for and what peripherals you'll be using. If you're looking for minimum power, then 250 Watts will get you by with a couple of hard drives, an optical drive, and on-board video. Nothing more. Graphics cards will require 350 watts and higher. From there, you'll need to review what the minimum specs are for that graphics card.

You have to look at the power supply you have - if it is 300 you cannot go below, but you can go higher on the power supply. Just make sure it fits in your slot. You can find the watts on your hardware. Hope this helps!

If you use a branded or certified power supply (i.e. thermaltake, antec, coolermaster, etc), 420W should be enough (at least 700W for a generic power supply). There are several power calculators in the web so you can be more specific (i.e. aditional fans, lights, drives). I made a calculation with a mid range processor (core i5) and 2 x GT630 (crossfire), and still did not need more than 420W. I hope that helps.

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.

300 watts per manufacturer. You could get by on a slightly smaller one, but a decent 300 watt power supply is not very expensive and easy to replace.

Check the watts. I think you will be short. I gauge by how many watts needed, not by amps. Jim

I'm sorry, I'm nt sure since it doesn't say anywhere.I assume you can go up to 100 watts no problem, but to be safe, I would do 60 watts.

Well the recommended wattage for using an outlet is up to 250 watts, and 150 for the second outlet. So it depends on how much electricty it takes.

400 watt or greater is the recommendation for this model. You should calculate how your psu is destrobuting it's power to make sure you can delegate enough to the card

Depends on use. Lights and Ceiling fans, 250w is fine. If you have a Electric ceiling heater That requires more watts, then the 600w I would use. Hope this helps.
