what power supply do you think that could run 6 rolls in parallel? 30a?

I'd say that was close. I used 1 roll to make 5 light fixtures (for my motorhome), and they each draw just under 1 amp. 6 rolls would get you pretty close to 30 amps.

Im running 12 off of 2 supplies. For full reels, figure on 6A each. The problem with supplying less is that most supplies will not self-limit. So the supplies will keep shutting down after a few minutes. I used computer power supplies which worked well though one is a bit loud. Hope this helps.

I've hooked up several on a battery that I keep charged with a solar panel. If you are using a power supply just be sure to over size it.

I have 2 rolls a blue and a white connected to one 12 volt supply with motion sensor and works great.. couldn't give an honest aster for 6. you might contact the seller they should be able to help you out....

An 800W power supply would handle the rig outlined in your parts list, but you might want to purchase a power supply larger than 800W now if you wish to later add more GTX 780s in SLI.

A 6 pin and 8 pin are needed. Plan for the card to use at least 255w of power as well.

300 W power supply is enough to run this card. There are no separate power supply cord or connection is necessary.

Not a good power supply. My rig was using only 300watts and the supply would crash. Try to find a good gold certified one, you wont regret the extra safety

I cannot say for certain because the power supply I am using does not have "Rolls" on it, but I believe the power supply was included.

You need true 12Vdc 360W 30A but also its very important the quality of power Supply there are some junky power supplies even 460w or 600W may will not work or shut down every 1/2 an hour etc.

Yes, you need six pin power. Otherwise it will just lock up. I had that problem even though I had a six pin power plug in my old PSU but it was unable to meet the amperage requirement for this card on the 12V rail

Has to be a 600W one, 460 isn't enough. Mine was too and the video killed my motherboard!

I have purchased three of these. two for one house and one for another house. I use a 6A power supply. I would not use a power supply less than 1.5A. I have had one monitor go bad a few months ago. But it was the monitor not the power supply.

the power supply shown here would only run ONE LED strip. Each strip (Amazon item Triangle Bulbs T93007) uses 25 watts at 12 volts DC which is 2.1 amps So 6 strips would use 150 watts or 12.5 amps. You would want to up those ratings by at least 20%. However I suspect the internal wiring structure of these LED strips is too light to carry more than two strips connected together. Two strips would be 50 watts or 4.2 amps at 12 volts dc.

the card alone at TDP will use close to 250 watts... so unless you have an atom processor and no HDDs... more watts the better ;). Plus most psus are less then efficient, My guess is that 350 watts is more like 300

Since you can't do any real hardcore gaming with this card, a 300-350 Watt power supply will work on a system with a single hard drive, DVD-RW and basic CPU heat sink. Anything more advanced you'd want to look at at least a 400-450 watt power supply (if you're running 3+ fans and more than one hard drive, you should already have at least a 400 watt power supply). As always, try to stay with name brands when it comes to a power supply. Antec, Corsair, EVGA and OCZ are all reliable but in a pinch Cooler Master and ThermalTake will do.

You can't run them in series. Parallel only. Run a set of wires from the power source to the start of each strip. Incidentally, a couple things about that power supply...It's not as pictured (at least in my case) It has a noisy fan. I returned it and used a re-purposed computer power supply. Also, this power supply will not run 4 strips. If I remember correctly these strips run 72 watts each which is about 6A at 12 volts. 6X4 = 24A required. And with the distances you are talking about, you're going to need a bit more than minimum.

400W is the min required for the card as long as you are only going to run 1 and you have at least 1 6 pin pci supplementary power connector coming off the power supply. if there is no 6 pin pci supplementary power connector then the PSU is not compatible.

You are going to need a slimline power supply for that computer. When looking up on here just use slimline and the wattage you would like. 300w should be more than adequate for that machine. Good Luck

I went overboard and got a 300 watt power supply so I could power repeaters from same power source. Currently running two for a total of 6 strips and a little room to grow.
